The season finale of Hot Ones will feature Ariana Grande, who is set to star in one of the year's biggest movies later this year.
For those less familiar with one of YouTube's most entertaining interview-style shows, Hot Ones -- about to end its 24th season -- is sort of like a network TV talk show, but spicier (literally). Interviewer Sean Evans invites celebrities on to answer a series of questions while consuming (or in some cases, attempting to consume) increasingly spicy hot wings.
Since Hot Ones dropped its first early episodes in March 2015, it has expanded into a spinoff game show and has won and been nominated for a handful of notable awards (including being nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show.
