<p>'Hot Ones' Host Sean Evans Reveals the 1 Celebrity He'd Love to Have on the Show (Exclusive) originally appeared on Parade.</p>
<p>Sean Evans has interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry on his wildly popular YouTube series Hot Ones, but there's one particular A-lister he's dying to have on the show.</p>
<p>Evans, 39, opened up about the topic while chatting exclusively with Parade about his ongoing partnership with Stella Artois ahead of Hot Ones' first live event, which will give one lucky fan an opportunity to join Evans onstage for a moment during the fiery challenge.</p>

<p>"Tom Cruise," he says of who he'd love to interview. "I'm like, 'This guy — I got to get him on the show at some point.' We've caught so many white whales over the years that you catch one, and it just makes another one for you. But that is a peak that I'm kind of looking at: the Tom Cruise Peak. That's one that I'm trying to climb, but [it 's] a tough nut to crack."</p>
<p>As for who out of the hundreds of celebrities he's interviewed has surprised him the most, Evans tells Parade that there's someone every season that "shocks" him with how they handle the hot wings.</p>
<p>"Every season, there's a guest that sort of floats into the room, maybe they're nervous, and then they sit down there, and they handle the wings better than I do in recent seasons," he explains. "Ariana Grande comes to mind, Demi Moore comes to mind. We used to kind of bet on how we thought people would do going in, and then we stopped doing that because everybody is totally different."</p>
<p>He continues: "You'll go in with a game plan, but it's always subverted by the time it gets to the third or fourth wing. So that's what I think is so amazing about the show. It's a uniquely singular experience — every single interview. And in many ways, surprising. So every season somebody comes in, and you can do all the research and watch all this stuff and do the armchair psychology, but once you actually get in the room and the wings start flying off the table, then it's a book that writes its own story every single episode."</p>

<p>As for the Hot Ones live show — which is presented by Stella Artois and First We Feast, and also marks 10 years of the fiery celeb interview series — Evans tells Parade that he's excited to "bridge the gap between the show and the audience."</p>
<p>He continues: "I think Hot Ones is a show that's kind of unique, and when you're watching it, you do want to participate in it. You do wonder, 'Oh, there's Bad Bunny sweating out this wing. I wonder if I'd have the same reaction.' But this is an event that kind of fills in the room. You get that kind of communal experience where you're both watching and experiencing the show, but also living it in a lot of ways."</p>
<p>The one-night only event, which takes place on Thursday, Sept. 25, at the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles, will feature special celebrity guests and limited-edition food collabs with iconic L.A. staples, including Randy's Donuts and Wanderlust Creamery.</p>
<p>Starting Aug. 19 through Sept. 30 at select locations, Randy's Donuts will offer the Glaze of Glory, a spicy glazed donut mixed with Hot Ones Rojo Hot Sauce and topped with a Rojo spicy butter crumb. Additionally, Wanderlust Creamery will offer their limited edition Sweet Verde Heat flavor, which features shards of yuzu chocolate infused with Hot Ones' Los Calientes Verde and shichimi togarashi.</p>
<p>Hot Ones and Stella Artois are also offering fans the chance to join Hot Ones Live by submitting a celebratory toast via Stella Artois' Instagram. Fans can comment on the official call-for-entries posts with a toast celebrating 10 years of Hot Ones, along with the required hashtags. Three finalists will receive tickets to attend the show, and one grand-prize winner will take the spotlight and join Sean on stage for a moment during the fiery challenge.</p>
