[@Exile1a]

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 That's because "Da Bomb" has no redeeming taste to it. It's just straight up hot.

[@johnathanmcprivacy9749]

@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 First, that's because scoville is not a very good quantitative measure; its well known to be only generally accurate. But, more importantly, once you've hit a certain "level" of spice/pain, you can't really go any further. So, liken it to an actual burn, where if you stick a 200F object to your skin, its gonna get f'd up; then, when you apply an 800F object to the same area its not gonna hurt 4 times more because it was already desensitized. The "beauty" of a 2million scoville or "last dab" type sauce is lost somewhat if you pre-peak with a lower one, since while the last dab will hurt more initially if given first, you can't reaaly discern that too much if you take it second. So, the last dab would have some value in terms of added pain, and a lot a value in terms of added flavour, but it would need be enjoyed first/separately.

[@TransparentLabyrinth]

@@zoron8952 If it was a big operation, I'd probably lean in that direction, but I don't think Hot Ones is a very big operation and I can't see any motivation for them scripting in such a thing just to make them seem like they ask good interview questions, which isn't even the theme of the show. I could see them being motivated to script certain aspects of the reactions if they thought it was necessary, but I think the wings organically create entertainment all on their own, which is an important part of the show's premise. I've always figured it's just that celebrities are used to doing press junkets where they're asked vapid questions by interviewers who are cycling through multiple guests, sometimes in a single day, and don't tend to put a lot of time or effort into their questions. Comparatively, Hot Ones tends to go for deeper questions and I think spends quite a bit of time on researching each guest's history (or at least it comes across that way). And it would make sense, since each guest is an entire episode of the show, so they have to get it right for the show to succeed. Lazy questions would imply that their entire episodic process is lazy. And they are doing more of a deep dive format than most interviews.

One consistent thing I noticed in this series is everyone likes the interviewer everyone says great question!

[@codeaccuna]

Sean Evan's is a fantastic interviewer. He does his research, asks good questions and has the charisma to thread the show together. Love this show

[@UndergroundTech]

I agree, it's just said that he's underpaid a lot.

[@MiSSKBG88]

Fuck yeah! Agreed.

[@user-es8ss4ur9p]

Couldn't agree more!

[@marioavalos6310]

While someone may know more than me. I agree that I live watching hot ones for the great questions. Finding out things I never knew about. But I think there’s a team that does the research. Not saying he doesn’t do his own or isn’t a part of the team but let’s give credit to the whole production team who puts this together and does the research, cameras, editing. Amazing job

He's like the Nardwuar of hot sauce.

Wait, Ken Jeong likes Prince? 💜 Dude, mad respect!! You've got great taste in music, Dr. Ken!! 😎

[@isaacalvarez7214]

I love ken in any role he has ever been in. He is organically funny, never forced, and very down to earth. Dude has the hearts of his family you can tell in their picture. Also I think Sean is hands down the best interviewer I've ever seen. Does crazy good research but also brings up their obscure accomplishments and makes them feel good about their achievements outside of acting, sports, or music. Sean is king of being professional and humble. Dude unlocked autonomous ultra humbleness. I wish them both continual success. Shout out to the HOTONES nation.......we are the best!

He mentions it every time and I still can't believe this man is actually a doctor

[@brandondabreo421]

Just like Ben Shapiro's wife.

@@brandondabreo421 ok thats epic

[@bernlin2000]

Very rare to go from being a licensed MD to a standup comedian and movie star...can't think of another career change like that off the top of my head :-)

[@moomoopuppy508]

The most entertaining so far. It cant be too easy for the guest, heat-wise.

[@dustinlowe6452]

I love how genuine each episode feels man. I won't even know much about some of the guests but it's still worth the watch. One of the few interviews you'll see that has genuine questions like it should be

[@colinhedges4689]

That number 8 def needs to be number 10! It’s the killer everytime

[@firecontent6841]

“Uhh HE GAYYYi” anyone remember that ? this dude too funny love every time I see him in a movie his personality is just sum else and the humor and humbleness
