It's wild watching Sean's beginnings as antagonistic younger bro energy, in comparison to the classy, introspective, therapist Hot wing coach Dad energy we know and love today 😂

The way the interview questions have evolved is crazy. It’s not like they were bad before or anything, but now they’re so in-depth it’s hard to ignore. Shout out Sean and the team for improving constantly.
This throwback makes me even prouder of what this show has become. Theres a lot more of a conversation going on today than in these initial episodes. Anthony Rizzo gave a few one word answers and they just stuck with that, then went to an awkward cut. Again, that’s not as much a criticism as much as it is a credit to how much they’ve evolved and improved in almost every way. One thing I did enjoy is some of the trash talk from Sean. I appreciate and love that he’s become more akin to a kind shaman guiding the guest through a psychedelic trip. But this sorta edgy, trash-talking Sean is funny.
I have always said Sean and the team at this show do the greatest interviews with the best, most well prepared questions. Every single guest comments on how good the questions are. And I saw these videos around the time they came out but that was almost a decade ago. I forgot they built up to being as good as they are, though it didn't take long. I think it began around 7:16. Sean asks Anthony Rizzo about Will Farrell. The answer he gets, "I wasn't there that day," and then the look on Sean's face says it all. It tells me he must have decided that after that interview, or maybe right in that moment, to never be caught like that again. You ask the guy the question and then he wasn't even there... ? That is journalism 101. Make sure your question is relevant and the person you're asking can answer it. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But if you notice, after that second interview, the questions get better and a moment like that never happens again. And now look at them. It's my favorite celebrity interview show.
Also, I might add, something else I noticed a while back is that no one has tapped out in a long time. Seeing these videos again, I think it's because of Sean. They switched the vibe of the show from trying to intimidate guests and challenging them to Sean helping them get through it by encouraging them. I think the show is much better for it. Keep up the great work, Hot Ones crew.
The first question of the first ever hot ones episode gets a sincere, "That's a good question. " and it's said _after_ he answers, so it's not just a way to bide time.
Over the last few weeks I have been on a Hot Ones marathon watching all the seasons to catch up, so far I have made it to Season 16 on the playlist. Sean you are a legend sir! The way you put the guests at ease and the research you do puts you near the top of the list of interviewers on any platform! please never stop this show. If you make the other seasons into marathon video's please put them in the right order, some of the playlists play backwards and when you refernce those shows its spoiler time! haha. At some point soon I hope to have a bit of spare cash to buy some Los Calientes and Blue Classic, shipping to the UK cost.... but every guest likes them im sure its worth it :) ..... thanks for your years of pain for our pleasure!
Sean I am definitely convinced that you don't have any test bugs at all and I was shocked how well Machine did I know I would not be able to do that well
From the very first episode when he tells Sean "If you keep going, imma keep going"... the look in Sean's eyes and the confident "alright!". A show was born.
Just what i needed to drown out the current political b.s. in the U.S. GREAT SHOW 2 hours, entire 1st season, love the evolution. BRAVO Bronx Love guyz 😎
This marathon was a nice suprise to have pop up. I've rewatched some of my favorite episodes but watching season 1 again, start to finish, then topped off with Chili Klaus. Amazing! I first found this show in season 3, thanks to my son. I, of course, binged it from season 1 forward. While it has lost a bit of the novelty, and some of the rather "in your face" Sean comments, it's really become one of THE most respected talk shows on any media. It has garnered mentions in movies, tv, other YT shows, and even had others trying some of the sauce challenges themselves. Well done to ALL the staff! Here's to many more season, I hope!
So is it true from what I remember you guys had said that Sean was originally not going to eat wings, until Tony Yayo called him out? Also shout out to dad's follow up on ep2 where we see Sean following that lead from Tony and ask Rizzo the same question. Showing Sean learning and trying his interview skills. Been a great ride ty guys for putting this out.
