"Hot Ones" Host Celebrates 10 Years of Iconic Celebrity Interviews

On September 26, 2025, "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans celebrated the 10th anniversary of the popular celebrity interview show with a live event in Hollywood. Evans, who never imagined he'd be hosting a live interview in the middle of Hollywood while eating hot wings with Adam DeVine, reflects on the show's remarkable growth over the past decade.

When "Hot Ones" first started, Evans and his team had modest expectations, thinking it would be a quarterly "Internet Super Bowl event." However, the show quickly gained a dedicated following, prompting them to program it more regularly to keep up with the demand. Evans credits the "disruptive element" of the hot wing challenge as a key factor in the show's success, as it helps to "warp" the traditional celebrity interview format "for the better."

The live event, presented by First We Feast and Stella Artois, marks a significant milestone for the show. Evans notes that the partnership with Stella Artois has been crucial in allowing the team to "take these big swings and really bring a classic Hollywood show" to the fans. The event featured interviews with celebrities and behind-the-scenes looks at the show's production.

As "Hot Ones" enters its 28th season, Evans is excited about the future of the show. He believes the recent acquisition of the production company by a new venture, which included Crooked Media and Mythical Entertainment, has reinvigorated his passion for the project. With a new office and studio space, Evans is eager to continue delivering engaging, career-spanning interviews with celebrities who are willing to brave the hot wing challenge.
