Get ready for a week of spicy conversations and electric entertainment as Hot Ones host Sean Evans joins Louis Theroux’s podcast, and Pamela Anderson makes her comeback in the new film The Last Showgirl.
This week, American YouTuber Sean Evans will be talking to Louis Theroux about his show Hot Ones – and whether he’d ever have Kanye West on as a guest.
Sean Evans is an American journalist and television host, best known for hosting the YouTube series Hot Ones.
He was born on March 17, 1983, in New York City.
Evans graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in drama.
Before becoming a full-time host, he worked as a writer and producer for various media outlets.
Hot Ones features celebrities answering questions while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings.
The show has gained a massive following and critical acclaim for its unique format.
A Conversation with Two Media Personalities
Sean Evans is best known for his YouTube show Hot Ones, where he interviews celebrities while they eat chicken wings that get progressively spicier. But the tables are being turned on Tuesday, when he’s appearing as a guest on Louis Theroux‘s podcast. The pair will discuss the art of interviewing, the evolution of Sean Evans‘ career, and some of the most memorable moments from Hot Ones – including the viral ‘DJ Khaled and Conan O’Brien episodes’.
Hot Ones is a YouTube series that features celebrities and public figures eating increasingly spicy chicken wings while being interviewed.
The show's creator, Sean Evans, introduced the concept in 2015 as a way to challenge guests' tolerance for heat.
Each wing is paired with a different sauce, ranging from relatively mild to extremely hot.
The goal is not only to see how much spice the guest can handle but also to create an entertaining and lighthearted conversation.
A Monster Week for Gaming Fans
Thursday is Pokémon Day – when fans of the long-running series get a glimpse of what to expect in the coming year. Updates on Pokémon Legends Z-A – the upcoming Nintendo Switch game teased at last year’s Pokémon Presents showcase – and plans for ‘The Year of Eevee (2025 is dedicated to the popular bushy-tailed character)’ are expected.
Pokémon Day is celebrated annually on February 27th, marking the release of the first Pokémon games in Japan in 1996.
The franchise has since become a global phenomenon with over 300 million copies sold worldwide.
Fans around the globe participate in various events, trading card tournaments, and cosplay competitions to showcase their love for the iconic characters.
According to a survey, 40% of Pokémon fans are between the ages of 18-24, highlighting its enduring appeal across generations.
Additionally, on Friday, Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. This sequel returns players to The Forbidden Lands, tasking them with hunting monsters of increasing size and strength.
Pamela Anderson’s Comeback Role
Pamela Anderson is back in the spotlight with her new film ‘The Last Showgirl’ . Starring as a woman who must plan for her future after her show abruptly closes following a 30-year-run, the film is described by many critics as Pamela Anderson‘s own comeback. However, when asked about it, she said it was just ‘a new chapter’ in her career.
Lisa’s Debut Solo Album

She’s taken on her first major acting role in season three of The White Lotus, and on Friday, she’ll be releasing her first ever solo album independent from her famous girl group.
