The 19 Spiciest Musician ‘Hot Ones’ Episodes, From *NSYNC to Lady Gaga

If you’re a pop culture fan, there’s no doubt that you’ve heard of “the show with hot questions and even hotter wings,” also known as Hot Ones, which is hosted and was co-created by popular YouTube personality Sean Evans.

For those who aren’t familiar with the First We Feast and Complex Media series, in each episode, Evans and a celebrity guest eat ten chicken wings or vegan substitutes, with each wing prepared with a progressively hotter hot sauce. Meanwhile, the celebrity will answer thoughtful and well-researched questions from Evans while trying to keep it cool amid the heat.

Most recently, Lady Gaga took on the challenge — with one hand due to her floral-sleeved costume. The “Rain on Me” singer took bites of increasingly spicy chicken like a champ, all while getting deep about the times she pushed through the urge to “walk away” from her career. “I would definitely say that I was tested, and I always didn’t give up. And I’m still doing it, so it must mean I want to do it,” she said.

Hot Ones has been putting celebrities’ taste buds to the test since 2015, and with more than a hundred interviews on the First We Feast YouTube channel, it’s hard to know where to start. To make things easier, we at Billboard have compiled our 12 favorite Hot Ones episodes featuring musicians, from DJ Khaled’s surrender after just three wings to Dave Grohl’s tipsy journey through wings and whiskey.
