\n\tIf you were hoping to see Steve Buscemi<\/a> take on the hot wings challenge, don\u2019t bet on it.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast<\/a>, host Josh Horowitz asked the veteran actor, who\u2019s promoting his new films Wild Horse Nine and Klara and the Sun, about things he dislikes. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m confused why people like spicy food, why they like their mouths hot,\u201d Buscemi replied. So First We Feast\u2019s Hot Ones<\/a>, hosted by Sean Evans<\/a>, likely won\u2019t ever be a stop on the actor\u2019s press tours.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSam Rockwell told me that he and Parker Posey did Hot Ones \u2014 that\u2019s something I would never do. I don\u2019t care how much you paid me, how much they said, \u2018But it would really support the film,\u2019 no. It not only makes me confused, it makes me angry,\u201d he added with a laugh. \u201cYou\u2019ll never get me, Hot Ones!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn recent years, Hot Ones, which launched in 2015, has become a routine stop for celebrities as they\u2019re making the rounds to promote their latest projects. The YouTube talk show, created by Evans and Christopher Schonberger, sees the host interviewing guests as they eat a platter of ten wings, each coated in a progressively hotter hot sauce.<\/p>\n

\n\tDozens of celebrities have taken on the challenge, including Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Rudd, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Conan O\u2019Brien, Charlize Theron, Pedro Pascal and Shaquille O\u2019Neal, among others. But seeing many stars end in tears or yell in pain (\u201cI feel like I\u2019m gonna die,\u201d Lawrence said<\/a> during her episode) likely wasn\u2019t a selling point for Buscemi.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Evans revealed some of his favorite Hot Ones episodes <\/a>during a chat with Matt Belloni. \u201cI always say if you\u2019re new to the show, check out the Conan O\u2019Brien episode or the Gordon Ramsay episode. Jennifer Lawrence is another one or Maya Rudolph. Paul Rudd is a classic. Charlize Theron,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cI always say to start with those. If you like those episodes, you\u2019ll probably like the show. If you don\u2019t like those episodes, stop there. There\u2019s nothing for you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you were hoping to see Steve Buscemi take on the hot wings challenge, don\u2019t bet on it.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":912036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88,11574,273298,31784],"class_list":["post-912035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-hot-ones","tag-sean-evans","tag-steve-buscemi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=912035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/912036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=912035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=912035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=912035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
