"Running Man" Star's Hilarious Hot Ones Mishap Goes Viral

On November 13th, 2025, "Running Man" star Glen Powell finally appeared on the popular web series "Hot Ones," where he took on the notoriously spicy Wings of Death challenge. However, the interview quickly went off the rails as Powell and host Sean Evans suffered from a hilarious bit of miscommunication.

The faux pas occurred when Evans began asking Powell to explain action movie lingo, including the term "jerk vest." Powell, misunderstanding the term, looked ready to spit out his wings, exclaiming, "I thought you said jerk-fest!" The moment completely derailed the interview as Powell struggled to regain his composure.

Later in the episode, Powell also relayed another lapse in social grace, this time related to his mother. When Evans asked about Powell's parents' cameos in his films, the actor noted that his mother was most proud of her appearance in "Chad Powers," where she plays a woman who comically moans in a hospital waiting room.

Despite the comedic mishaps, the video featured a profusely-sweaty Powell struggling to answer questions as he rapidly consumed the spicy wings. Towards the end, Powell accidentally doused his final wing in hot sauce, with Evans repeatedly begging the movie star to dry the wing out a bit more.
