This is how every presidential candidate should be interviewed.

Sean definitely deserved this. The amount of work he and the Hot Ones team puts in on a regular basis is outstanding.

[cuptommy]

He takes away their bravado. Just boils them down to humans in pain. Its really poetic

[ArcienPlaysGames]

"Besides being a handsome talkshow host, you and I share something else"
Smooth, Evans. Smooth.

Petition to get Steven on the actual Hot Ones show? That would be amazing! Some of those interviews are 20+ minutes long, I’d love to see Steven be interviewed there!

[cooperzilkenat]

I love how his face lit up when Stephen mentioned he was a good interviewer.

[MikeNRoll]

Sean is legitimately one of the best interviewers today. He is so well researched and knows how to get great content out of his guests.

[Melanie-wwyk]

Stephen has to do the real Hot One's show. This version is so boiled down, it takes away everything that makes the show so great: the well-researched questions, the side story anecdotes that give us glimpses into people's personal lives/how they think/what they're like, the connection/chemistry between Sean and the guests that is built throughout the interview, and everything in between. Hot Ones is a gem that can't be summarized in 5 minutes like this.

‘Absence of God’s Love’ Next Hot Ones sauce name

[Hollyhock_Music]

Glad to see Sean Evans is getting some recognition. Dude's a boss.

[ChaoukiSADOUSSI]

it's just a hurdle you have to overcome - Sean Evans
PS : Proud of sean and the hot ones team !!

[thezachmarsh]

Sean: "So you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings..."
Stephen, frantically trying to fight the pain: "YEAH! YEAH I LIKE LORD OF THE RINGS!"

[Haggart]

Stephen: You're a great interviewer
Sean: Thank you so much I dont deserve that..
*Goes on to prove it over the next 6 minutes*

What a great guy. So humble and no ego whatsoever. Sean is the man!

[JloBroOFFICIAL]

Sean is by far the best interviewer alive. I've never seen someone that can carry himself so well and at the same time gets so much content out of the interviewees regardless of their Fame

"The One Ring would melt."

Little did Stevie know that Frodo would make a similar comparison to the exact same sauce YEARS later.

[lireid]

If this is a just world, Sean Evans will one day sit in a late night chair. Dude is the best host/interviewer around.

[jalyn]

I'm such a proud subscriber, look how far Sean has come 😩 this makes me so happy!

[IantheDugan]

Even outside of his usual format, in a live studio audience, Sean still managed to play the crowd and guest perfectly. Went with the hype and crowd energy.

Finally, Sean and the Hot Ones show getting recognition.
Fans since day one knew the show is banging.

When Colbert says "hell is the absence of Gods love" that wasn't a joke or a performance. That was something he must have heard a thousand times while he was growing up in the church. That answer came from deep in his mind, which is exactly what Hot Ones tried to do.
Perfectly done. What a great show
