Hot Ones is a web series, created by Christopher Schonberger and produced by First We Feast and Complex Media. Its basic premise involves celebrities being interviewed by host Sean Evans over a platter of increasingly spicy chicken wings.
Format
The format involves Evans and his guest(s) eating ten chicken wings, each prepared with a progressively hotter hot sauce. Its tagline, stated by Evans at the beginning of each episode, is "The show with hot questions, and even hotter wings." The first sauce in the series is usually something relatively mild such as Sriracha, which has a rating of 2,200 Scoville units. The final sauce (as of season 4), Hot Ones' own The Last Dab (The Last Dab Reduxx starting in season 6), has a Scoville rating of 2,000,000+[1]. After each wing, Evans asks his guest an interview question. As the wings get hotter, the guest begins to display the effects of eating the spicier wings and the interview becomes less about the guest and more about the struggle to finish the wings. The guests are also provided glasses of water and milk to counteract the effect of the wings. The standard show is Evans and one guest eating ten wings each, but in some episodes where there are two guests (such as the episode featuring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele) only five wings are given to each guest. A guest who successfully finishes all ten wings is given the opportunity to promote their upcoming projects; guests who fail are still afforded this opportunity but are added to the show's Hall of Shame.
Show history
The show was created by First We Feast Founder Christopher Schonberger. Schonberger cites Alexa Chung's quirky interview show, Popworld, as the inspiration for the show.[2] Sean Evans is the host.

Hot sauce lineup
Note that in earlier season, the number of sauces was cut in half when there were multiple guests on the show.
