Creatives of "Hot Ones" (Sean Evans, Chris Schonberger, Domonique Burroughs) gather with moderator Seth Meyers to celebrate their show. Topics include: how a show about celebrities eating hot sauce-covered chicken wings while being interviewed was sold to YouTube; guests' preparations for eating the spiciest of wings, and what can lead to problems; the taste-testing process for deciding on a season's hot sauce lineup; Meyers' stomach-churning reflections on being a "Hot Ones" guest; why each celebrity taping is usually cut to half of its running time; how guest Charlize Theron proved a turning point in the program's ratings; the reason that three "Hot Ones" shows were never aired; and why Pete Davidson, Coolio, and Will Smith's reactions proved the most concerning for producers.
