Why You Need To Watch 'Hot Ones'

"The show with hot questions and even hotter wings." - Sean Evans

Why You Need To Watch 'Hot Ones'

Do you enjoy spicy food? Do you like watching your favorite celebrity answer interesting questions? Well, I may have your new favorite show.

The show is a YouTube series called "Hot Ones," and it features many of today's biggest celebrities being interviewed while eating increasingly hot chicken wings. I'm sure I've lost some of you after that description, but it really is a genius idea for interviews.

In just about every interview, the first few wings go down without too much trouble. However, at some point the heat becomes too much for the interviewee and it just makes the questions even more difficult to answer. You might think that process would detract from the actual interview, but it gives the interview a more casual feel. Instead of just sitting in a chair and being drilled with questions, the interview turns into a friendly back and forth between the host and the guest. "Hot Ones" interviews help serve as a reminder that celebrities are regular people too, and they are just as susceptible to hot food as you.

A big reason for the show's success is the great job that the host, Sean Evans, does. He manages to get the most out of each interview and seems to connect with every guest he has on the show. Even more impressive is his ability to tackle these hot sauces on a weekly basis and keep the interviews on track when the heat takes things off rails.

What may be an even bigger testament to the show and Evans is how most of the guests claim to hate hot food, but they do the interview regardless. The reward for surviving all 10 wings is a mere 30-second plug for the guest to inform viewers of their professional endeavors. While this may seem like a minuscule prize, I think that's the point. This "prize" only adds to the show's appeal; this show is not just another promotional tool, it's meant to be fun.

Here is my personal favorite interview so far. A new "Hot Ones" interview goes live each Thursday, and can be found on First We Feast, Complex, or YouTube.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
