If you spend any time on the internet, you’ve no doubt come across something like today’s subject, but these are the originals. These are the spicy wings interviews know as Hot Ones from the YouTube channel First We Feast. Host Sean Evans, who doesn’t have much personality, but must have a steel stomach, asks celebrities questions about their careers and their personal lives while they both eat chicken wings doused in increasingly-hot sauces. The first one below is my favorite because the incandescent Melissa McCarthy came with a hilarious arsenal of items to help combat the heat. I won’t spoil the surprises, but her first genius move is that she brought milk in a spray bottle.

“Is this safe?” Lady Gaga

“Am I dying?” Viola Davis

There are a LOT of these interviews on the First We Feast channel, and I certainly haven’t watched them all, but I put a few faves down below, including one with my friend and comedy idol, Wanda Sykes. I love how hard these poor folks keep trying to be professional and charming while their bodies feel like they’re in flames. Hope you enjoy them!

You can watch all of First We Feast’s fun videos on YouTube.

And because I can’t resist, here’s a taste of another First We Feast series, Hot Ones Versus, where two icons ask each other very personal questions while consuming increasingly spicy wings. I have only watched this one, but it was so much fun, I had to watch it twice. Aubrey Plaza vs. Patti LuPone is epic. At one point, Plaza develops a speech impediment.
