It’s the show with hot questions, and even hotter wings and has become a huge success on YouTube. Hot Ones has become one of the best interview shows around, with Sean Evans getting his guests so panicked about the spice of the wings that they open up and engage with a freedom that very few other settings can provide. The show welcomes a variety of guests from huge names to upcoming stars, all who have hilarious stories that cater to everyone.
The style of the interview is relaxed and calm, yet seeing celebrities squirming in pain over the heat of the sauces never gets tiring and keeps the show feeling energetic. The interviews are always packed with insightful questions that bring out some great answers. With a blend of comedy and intelligence, Hot Ones really is a tremendous series. While they’ve had some amazing guests, there are many names people still want to see tackle the wings. Here are 10 people that we would like to see on the next season of the show.
Florence Pugh
Hot Ones is always great at bringing in guests of all ages, and the show does a fantastic job of highlighting young talent who are on the rise. Right now, there are few actresses with a brighter future than Florence Pugh, with the Oscar-nominated actress being an incredible talent.
The show also brings in people who have something to promote and Pugh is a major part of the upcoming Black Widow movie. Considering the fact Scarlett Johansson has already been on the show, Pugh would be an excellent choice. She’s bubbly and has a great personality, which would make her a lot of fun to watch.
Penn & Teller
Another great aspect of Hot Ones is the fact that the show always brings in people from different walks of life. It doesn’t just use actors or singers, there is a complete mix and that is why having Penn and Teller as guests is something that could easily happen.
The show has often had two guests at once and this double act would be ideal for that setting. Hearing about their history in magic and on television would be incredibly interesting. But the real highlight would be seeing whether or not Teller could keep up his silent act with all the spice.
Keanu Reeves
According to Hot Ones host Sean Evans, Keanu Reeves is the name that is suggested to the show from the fans the most at the moment. Because of that, he has to make this list, as Keanu is clearly somebody that the world wants to see tackle the spice.
This makes sense as he’s an incredibly talented and popular actor, therefore it’s easy to see why fans would want him on. Right now he is one of the most talked-about names in all of Hollywood, and because the show often works hard to get the guests the fans want (e.g. Gordon Ramsay), Reeves is someone who will likely appear in the future.
Sophie Turner
If you’re an avid Hot Ones watcher you would have seen the episode featuring Maisie Williams from last season. During the end of that episode, Williams called out her best friend and fellow Game of Thrones star, Sophie Turner to appear on the show.
Turner responded on social media stating that she would accept, so now all that’s left it wait for the show to make it happen! Turner is a hilarious person and is constantly busy. With her roles in Game of Thrones and X-Men alongside being married to a Jonas brother, she has a wide audience that would make this a hit episode!
Stormzy
Hot Ones loves bringing in artists from the rap genre, having had countless names on the show in the past. However, right now, you’ll struggle to find a much bigger name than Stormzy. The British rapper is constantly making headlines for his great music, and he is the exact type of person that the show looks to bring in.
Not only does he have an amazing music career, but he is also more than happy to make political statements and discuss a variety of issues. That’s something that Hot Ones is all about, breaching subjects that have real importance and getting Stormzy’s voice out there for major issues on a platform like this could be very powerful.
Dave Grohl
When it comes to music guests, Hot Ones has very much leaned heavily over to the hip hop, grime, and R&B genres, which has provided some amazing guests and brilliant conversations. However, it would be great to see the show really widen its horizons in the musical world in the next season.
Rock stars feel like the perfect people to bring into this show. Having a tough-guy image that the spicy wings could break down in a fun manner. One rock and roll name that would be perfect is Foo Fighters lead singer and former Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl. His history in the industry and major success would make him an ideal guest to breakdown some stories with.
John Cena
Over the course of Hot Ones’ history, the show has welcomed several wrestlers and highlighted the profession and the highs and lows that have come with it. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Sasha Banks, and Chris Jericho have all appeared in the past, but one name that people would love to see is John Cena.
Cena is one of the biggest WWE Superstars of all time and has no doubt got plenty of stories to tell. He’s got a lot of charisma and now he has broken into the movie business, there are even more opportunities for him to be on, as he has other things to promote.
Louis Theroux
Louis Theroux is absolutely made for a show like Hot Ones. His awkwardness has been his main selling point throughout his career, having a charm about him that few other journalists have. That’s why seeing him handle the spicy wings would be excellent.
Theroux is a great storyteller and would no doubt have an incredibly engaging conversation with Sean Evans where they would be able to tackle tons of major issues. With Theroux having done documentaries on a wide range of topics, this feels like a perfect setting to discuss them.
Dwayne Johnson
Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to see Dwayne Johnson tackle the spicy wings? Johnson is arguably the biggest name in all of Hollywood and he is someone who is incredibly charismatic and funny, which would make him a perfect guest to appear on the show.
Johnson has had such a long and impressive career, from wrestling to Hollywood and there have been plenty of ups and downs along that road. There’s tons of ground to cover in this potential interview and it would certainly be one to bring in big views for the show.
Robert Downey Jr.
His days as Iron-Man may have come to an end, but that doesn’t mean that people aren’t interested in listening to what he has to say. Hearing Robert Downey Jr. breakdown his lengthy career in the MCU while battling the spicy wings would be a hilarious interview.
There is a lot to talk about with Downey Jr. as well, with the tough period of going to prison and having his career in jeopardy to the point he’s at today. He’s an incredibly funny person who would fit well in this environment, and would no doubt make a fantastic episode of the show.
