Summary
Sean Evans might be the internet’s favorite wingman, but when he sits down with Keke, things get even spicier. They break down the art of great interviews, unforgettable celebrity moments, and asking the questions nobody else thinks to ask. Sean explains how Hot Ones became a cultural phenomenon while he and Keke revisit their flirty chemistry, joke about their viral kiss, bond over Midwest roots, and get competitive during a game of Twister that has them falling… for each other.
