In this episode of "Hot Ones," host Sean Evans welcomes actor and comedian Tom Arnold to the show. As per the usual format, the two sit down for an interview while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings.
Evans starts off by asking Arnold about his start in the entertainment industry and his early days working as a writer for Roseanne Barr. They discuss Arnold's experience on set and how he was able to turn his relationship with Barr into a successful career.
However, as the wings get hotter, the interview takes on a more chaotic tone. Arnold begins to sweat and squirm in his seat, struggling to answer Evans' questions through the heat. As the spice level reaches its peak, Arnold has a meltdown and starts to pace around the room, gulping down water and milk in an attempt to cool off.
Despite the intensity of the heat, Evans manages to keep the interview on track, asking Arnold about his recent appearances on "The Masked Singer" and "Worst Cooks in America." They also talk about Arnold's activism work, including his involvement in the #MeToo movement and his efforts to help reunite immigrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Throughout the episode, Arnold proves himself to be a good sport, willing to participate in the challenges and laugh at himself even as he struggles to handle the heat. By the end, he has earned his spot on the "Hot Ones" Wall of Fame - but not without enduring a significant ordeal in the process.
Overall, this episode of "Hot Ones" is a wild ride, showcasing both Arnold's comedic talent and his impressive resilience in the face of extreme spiciness. Fans of the show won't want to miss it.
