While Sean Evans reflected on how he had been pitching the actor for years, “One time I got a note back that was like, ‘Would you be willing to do, instead of wings, grilled salmon strips?’ And in my head I was like, that had to come from his mouth," the host detailed. 

Evans further also mentioned that this was the closest that the show had gotten to close a deal with the Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw actor.


Hot Ones happens to be a highly acclaimed talk show, where celebrities are asked various questions, the ones which they have to answer while eating chicken wings, having them dipped in various hot sauces.
