‘Hot Ones' Host Sean Evans Reveals the 1 Celebrity He'd Love to Have on the Show (Exclusive)
'Hot Ones' Host Sean Evans Reveals the 1 Celebrity He'd Love to Have on the Show (Exclusive) originally appeared on Parade. Sean Evans has interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry on his wildly popular YouTube series Hot Ones, but there's one particular A-lister he's dying to have on the show. Evans, 39, opened up about the topic while chatting exclusively with Parade about his ongoing partnership with Stella Artois ahead of Hot Ones' first live event, which will give one lucky fan an opportunity to join Evans onstage for a moment during the fiery challenge. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'Tom Cruise,' he says of who he'd love to interview. 'I'm like, 'This guy — I got to get him on the show at some point.' We've caught so many white whales over the years that you catch one, and it just makes another one for you. But that is a peak that I'm kind of looking at: the Tom Cruise Peak. That's one that I'm trying to climb, but [it 's] a tough nut to crack.' As for who out of the hundreds of celebrities he's interviewed has surprised him the most, Evans tells Parade that there's someone every season that 'shocks' him with how they handle the hot wings. 'Every season, there's a guest that sort of floats into the room, maybe they're nervous, and then they sit down there, and they handle the wings better than I do in recent seasons,' he explains. 'Ariana Grande comes to mind, Demi Moore comes to mind. We used to kind of bet on how we thought people would do going in, and then we stopped doing that because everybody is totally different.' He continues: 'You'll go in with a game plan, but it's always subverted by the time it gets to the third or fourth wing. So that's what I think is so amazing about the show. It's a uniquely singular experience — every single interview. And in many ways, surprising. So every season somebody comes in, and you can do all the research and watch all this stuff and do the armchair psychology, but once you actually get in the room and the wings start flying off the table, then it's a book that writes its own story every single episode.' As for the Hot Ones live show — which is presented by Stella Artois and First We Feast, and also marks 10 years of the fiery celeb interview series — Evans tells Parade that he's excited to 'bridge the gap between the show and the audience.' He continues: 'I think Hot Ones is a show that's kind of unique, and when you're watching it, you do want to participate in it. You do wonder, 'Oh, there's Bad Bunny sweating out this wing. I wonder if I'd have the same reaction.' But this is an event that kind of fills in the room. You get that kind of communal experience where you're both watching and experiencing the show, but also living it in a lot of ways.' The one-night only event, which takes place on Thursday, Sept. 25, at the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles, will feature special celebrity guests and limited-edition food collabs with iconic L.A. staples, including Randy's Donuts and Wanderlust Creamery. Starting Aug. 19 through Sept. 30 at select locations, Randy's Donuts will offer the Glaze of Glory, a spicy glazed donut mixed with Hot Ones Rojo Hot Sauce and topped with a Rojo spicy butter crumb. Additionally, Wanderlust Creamery will offer their limited edition Sweet Verde Heat flavor, which features shards of yuzu chocolate infused with Hot Ones' Los Calientes Verde and shichimi togarashi. Hot Ones and Stella Artois are also offering fans the chance to join Hot Ones Live by submitting a celebratory toast via Stella Artois' Instagram. Fans can comment on the official call-for-entries posts with a toast celebrating 10 years of Hot Ones, along with the required hashtags. Three finalists will receive tickets to attend the show, and one grand-prize winner will take the spotlight and join Sean on stage for a moment during the fiery challenge.

How Wednesday Season 2 Initially Thought About Bringing Back Gwendoline Christie After Jenna Ortega Admitted The Show Made A ‘Terrible Mistake'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Gwendoline Christie was one of the best members of the cast of Wednesday during Season 1. While she already blew me away with her work in Game of Thrones, Christie crushes her role as Principal Weems. The character exudes a classy charm and sense of complexity that conveys Christie's wide range of skills as an actor. Despite Weems' death, the character is now set to return for Season 2, and Jenna Ortega just recalled one way she and the writers initially thought about reviving the character. Jenna Ortega has never shied away from discussing the creative choices made for Wednesday. In fact, she made headlines when she got real about some aspects of the show making 'no sense' to her. (Ortega had long wanted to up the horror elements and dial down the romance.) Just recently, the Emmy nominee admitted during an interview with AIChark (which was shared to TikTok) that the show made a 'terrible mistake' by killing off Principal Weems. With that, Ortega revealed she formulated an idea to bring Weems back, and it involved shapeshifting: We had had discussions at the end of Season 1 about – we already knew that we were gonna kill her. So we were saying, 'Oh man, well, this has been a terrible mistake on our part. How are we gonna undo this? Is there a way we could bring her back?' I would say, 'Well, she's a shapeshifter. Maybe she isn't dead. Maybe all the shapeshifters, their natural form is [Weems]. Maybe if they all reverted back to their initial state…' That's what I wanted. We were throwing out all these ideas, and then the writers came up with her being my spirit guide. I feel like the writers made the right call in going with the spirit guide character plot, which was just recently revealed. I think having all shapeshifters appear as Weems in 'their natural form' would be too complicated. Having Christie's character return as a spirit guide for Wednesday Addams is perfect since the Nevermore Head of Staff tried to help the show's titular character during her time at the Academy. Weems even tried tried to help the teen in the end, the notion of having her return in this form certainly tracks. If Wednesday Season 2 -- which is part of 2025 Netflix's 2025 releases -- were like the more traditional Addams Family movies and TV shows Principal Weems might not be reappearing. Those past productions featured death in relatively definitive ways, so Weems' poisoning would've been the end. The concepts that have been explored in the Jenna Ortega-led spinoff series, however, allow for Weems to come back into the fold. And Ortega is thrilled about that: We just were so lucky to be playing in a supernatural world where we could bend the rules a little bit and find a way to bring her back. Because she brought so much to the show and established so much of what she — [she] just made that atmosphere feel real. It's one of my favorite on-screen pairings I've ever had, so to be able to elaborate on that and go deeper and further was a great pleasure. I jumped for joy seeing Wednesday's Season 2, Part 2 trailer, which revealed Weems' return. She and Addams have an interesting dynamic and, while they don't always see eye to eye, it works. There's also a sense of mutual respect between the two. With the supernatural series being split into two parts, this next set of episodes may place great emphasis on the relationship between Ortega's character and her new spirit guide. As a fan, I'm so glad Weems is not only returning but doing so in a fun-looking capacity. Considering how happy Gwendoline Christie was when Wednesday was renewed, it wouldn't surprise me at all if she's thrilled she gets to continue playing her imposing character. It was Christie's stunning turn (complete with Alfred Hitchcock influences) that made her such a standout in the first season. Watch Christie and Jenna Ortega on screen together again when the second part of their show's second season becomes available for Netflix subscription holders on September 3rd.
