This week on Hot Ones: Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn makes his epic return to Hot Ones this Thursday likely to promote the new upcoming Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey.

For those who aren't aware of the delightful heat Hot Ones brings to the YouTube space, the concept is simple. The interview-style show, hosted by Sean Evans, invites celebrity guests on to promote upcoming projects like your traditional network talk show. There are several key differences, however. I'ts hosted on YouTube exclusively. Guests have to eat increasingly spicy hot wings as they answer questions. And the questions get harder to answer the hotter the wings.

Vince Vaughn is best known for his comedic roles in movies such as Wedding Crashers, Zoolander, and Dodgeball. His next TV project, Bad Monkey, tells the story of a health inspector who stumbles upon a possible murder case, which he becomes determined to solve so he can get his job back at the Miami Police Department. The show is based on the novel of the same name by author Carl Hiaasen.

Apple TV+ has become notorious online for putting out really good shows that no one watches -- not because the shows are bad, but because the internet claims to have never seen an advertisement for a single one of them. Perhaps Vaughn's Hot Ones appearance will catch the attention of audiences who may not have otherwise known about the upcoming series.

Recently, Hot Ones has invited on guests such as Childish Gambino (to promote his new album) and Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman (to promote their new movie). Per usual, Evans' thoughtful and intriguing questions set the show apart as a series of interviews filled with conversations celebrities aren't having on camera anywhere else. Even if you're not a Vince Vaughn fan, the show is worth watching just to see who can make it to the end of the hot sauce train.

Watch Vince Vaughn battle The Wings of Death August 1 at 11:00 AM on First We Feast. And catch the first two episodes of Bad Monkey on Apple TV+ August 14.
