For those unfamiliar with the unique Hot Ones format, let's break it down slowly. With each new episode airing exclusively on YouTube, host and interviewer Sean Evans invites a celebrity guest onto the show to answer questions and eat hot wings. The two things occur simultaneously (the interview and the hot wing consumption). The catch is that with each new question comes a new round -- and each new round involves a slightly hotter hot sauce.
Both the questions and the wings get spicier as the interview goes on. There are two ways all this comes to an end: Either the guest taps out when they can no longer handle the heat, or they somehow, miraculously, make it to the final question. You never know which one it's going to be. That's what makes it fun!
To see how Ken Jeong fares in this treacherous game, tune in to the First We Feast YouTube channel this Thursday at 11 a.m. ET.
