I wonder how much of his past, high energy sober life people are going to look at, now that he's admitted his issues, and they're gonna think "of yea, he was definitely f*cked up there" when he actually wasn't.

Met John while working at a Diner spot here in NJ and I had to take his waffle back because it was burnt but the 2nd time seeing him I realized who he was and had to let him know I was a huge fan.

That's a tie for me between John Mulaney and Michael Cera. I didn't expect spice tolerance for either of them, but wow I was blown away.

John demolished those wings, Lorde-style. I like how at the end he compliments Sean and the crew for their deep research into the guests. Also, respect to the show for not spending time on John’s addiction and recovery. Mulaney touched on it briefly in passing a couple of times but so many of his post-rehab and Baby J promo appearances have centred on that part of his life, which he is happy to open up about, but for a lot of celebrities, especially stand-ups, there’s a ton of repetition in the interviews and throwing out bits from their shows. Like when Amy Schumer in her latest special tells the story of how she accidentally named her son an embarrassing pun, I had already heard that story on every late night show and others many times. Hot Ones not only has a fun and refreshing premise, but it comes loaded with deep-cut questions that are also refreshing and new, both for the guest and us watching at home. Also, none of them are awkward or put the guest in an uncomfortable position. The only discomfort on this show is from those wings of death.

I haven't checked, but he prolly has a team.

John was so present in this interview and so effortlessly funny. I like when the guests seem like they actually care about the show and find interest in the sauces and not just dissing them all. What a great interview.

i love how him and elijah wood both pointed out how the sauces aren't from least to most spicy; rather there is a roller coaster (or as elijah said "a symphony of spice")

I’ve never seen a comedian convey such confidence and a vulnerability all at the same time. I just like him.

So proud of John's recovery...Baby J was incredible. Wish him the best for the next chapter of life

Jon is the master of looking like he is OK when he is not 💀

I feel like John can come off as a little scripted in late night interviews when they have to Segway into one of his bits, so it’s really nice to see him in this atmosphere. Super casual and relaxed but still super clever and funny. I enjoyed the dynamic between him and Sean.

He's such an amazing interviewer. I'm so happy he didn't focus on his time in rehab. Like that whole fish food convo was awesome. I almost forgot how funny John Mulaney could be.

I love when a guest is impressed with a question Sean asks. It really shows the level of detail the team has when making the show.

Love that you mentioned the team! It takes a small army to create in this way.

“You didn’t ask me anything I’ve ever been asked before!” is a huge part of why this show is so good. Watching celebs get wrecked by Da Bomb is great, but it would get old fast if Sean wasn’t so good at conducting a great interview, hot sauce or no hot sauce. Another great episode! 🤘🏻

Absolutely held a straight face for the whole time, while answering questions with charm. What a champ.

The fish food section was the only time John fell into his routine of making things "bits" and even that was earnest and revealing. Great interview questions as usual from Sean and his team.

didn’t take a sip of water or milk, didn’t cough or freak out, just tanked it. I know he’s done some wild things in life but to have a tolerance like THAT is crazy

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for spreading such joy - both to Sean & John 💞

On a KZread show called Jolly I once saw a Korean street food vendor give a man who was freaking out over an extremely spicy chicken dish some peanut M&Ms. It worked almost instantly to tame the heat. I tried it a few days later and it worked for me. Apparently, the chocolate dulls the heat ant the shell scrapes the rest of the mouth pulling away the spice. Maybe suggest this to some guests. I am new to the channel and have been binge watching the show. Great Work!!! Love it!!!

John is a machine! Didn't even budge! SAVAGE taking Da Bomb very casually critiquing the sauce.

This is one of my most favorite Hot Wings! He was so authentic, sincere, funny, unpredictable, and captivating. He’s a great story teller. He’s so funny! He handled those hot sauces better than anyone so far.

Once again Sean does justice to his guest. He asks him questions that take John along a gentle path that explores the man from the roots that made him the entertainer he is. And John warms my heart as he has journeyed through his life and is here today. I'm thankful for his loved ones and his cohorts. I'm thankful for John. Be well Hot Ones team!

It's wild seeing Mulaney starting to look his age. He went from little boy to middle aged real quick. (I'm going through pretty much the exact same thing at 39)

I actually haven't watched that many episodes. The idea of having an interview while eating chicken with progressively spicier hot sauce just doesn't appeal to me. I will say this is one of the best episodes that I've seen, though.

I love how it's just two people having a conversation. John is the only person I've ever seen that could do Sean's job if there ever was a need for it.

I love that John shouted out Mitch Hedberg as a favorite. I can totally see their similar comedic themes...and lives.

I haven’t heard Sean laugh like he did in this video since Ramsey and it is because of how honest and witty and chill John is. He is masterful in what he does from an snl writer to an honest drug addict and one of my very favorite new specials because of how raw it is .. And Sean you are magic in and of itself and someone from Barrington IL and have friends that new you on high school I’m so amazed at what you do . No one can interview like you do

It's so good to have Mulaney back in the game. He's funny on every level, from professional writer to just funny human on earth.
