Conan on Hot Ones

Day 103 / 366

No matter what work you have today on your plate, I urge you to take 27 minutes out somehow and check out the above video of Conan O’Brien on Hot Ones. I guarantee it will be worth your time.

For the uninitiated, Hot Ones is an internet talk show where celebrities have to eat increasingly spicy chicken wings and answer normal interview questions as they slowly lose their minds.

I first came across Hot Ones 8 years ago when it was still relatively new. I had just watched the first Deadpool movie and I was looking for interviews with the cast online when I found T J Miller’s episode of Hot Ones. It is an amazing concept. And even if you forget the novelty of the hot wings, the questions are amazing as well. They do a lot of research, and the guests are always amazed at the quality of the interview.

But soon enough, the show lost its novelty for me. You could always predict how it will go. It was the same thing every time with just a new guest. So I stopped watching. But when I saw Conan on the thumbnail, I knew I had to watch.

Conan’ O Brian is my favorite talk show host of all time. His remote segments are still my go-to videos to watch when I want to laugh. And at 61 years old, you would think that he might have become irrelevant. But here he is, going on an internet talk show, being himself, and delivering the best Hot Ones episode ever. I don’t think anyone is ever going to top that.
