But I think it was a little fresher that it wasn’t that.” “In the past, if you were doing that scene in a movie, it would’ve been The Tonight Show. “It’s a testament to the mainstream popularity of that show,” Yang says of the scene going viral. When the show he cameoed on with Rudolph, Loot, began streaming on Apple TV+ over the summer, a clip of the fake interview began to make the rounds online, quickly racking up more than 10 million views. It was a surreal experience even for Evans, who as the everyman host of Hot Ones-where he interviews guests as they eat progressively spicier chicken wings-has watched calmly as a plate of wings made Kevin Hart cry and sent Gordon Ramsay running for the bathroom. “I was worried I ruined the tape, but then it ended up in the episode.” “I remember I said something to her and she goes, ‘Oh, good one, Sean, did you go to fucking school?’ And I was mad at myself for laughing,” Evans tells me over lunch on a recent Thursday afternoon. Did he want to appear in a spoof of his oddball celebrity interview show Hot Ones for a scene in a new comedy series starring Maya Rudolph? His response was an immediate “Hell yeah,” which is how Evans found himself on the Paramount lot trying to keep a straight face as Rudolph, in character as the scorned ex-wife of a tech billionaire, stalked around the set, swearing, chugging beer and yelling insults at him.
