Over its numerous seasons, the popular YouTube interview-style show Hot Ones has invited a variety of celebrity guests on the show -- from professional athletes to accomplished musicians, writers, comedians, and more.

This week's upcoming guest, Ali Wong, wears many of these hats: She is a comedian, actor, writer, producer, and director with many award nominations and wins to her name. To date, she has released a handful of Netflix comedy specials, starred in numerous movies and television shows, and even released a book, Dear Girls, in 2019.

Wong is probably best known for her roles in Always Be My Maybe, Big Mouth, and Beef. She has won a number of awards, such as a Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television, a Golden Globe award for Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film, a Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, and many more.

When guests take a seat at the Hot Ones table, it's not just hot wings that await them (although there are definitely plenty of those). Host Sean Evans also comes prepared with a number of "spicy" questions (spicy as in, interesting; intriguing; unique). As the wings get hotter with each round, so do the questions guests are asked.

There is no guarantee each guest will make it to the end of the interview -- it stops when they can no longer take the heat. Some of them power through, but not everyone has what it takes. Some of those sauces are, understandably, quite hot.

This week's episode of Hot Ones premieres at 11:00 AM on the First We Feast YouTube channel.
