    This is the 300th episode of Hot Ones! Thanks for all your support—here's to the next 300!
  • @migatronn
    For a guy that looks like he only eats saltine crackers he handled those spices very well
  • @MKSouthernStar
    "You didnt ask me anything I've ever been asked before." the ultimate compliment. Well done team. Great guest great episode.
  • @monkyk1ng
    He felt like a supervillain when he took the hottest wings then calmly explained why they weren’t very good
  • @MiHanLin1
    "You didn't ask me anything that I've ever been asked before." Wow. Even when you come to expect praise to Sean and his team for their thoughtful questions and scrupulous research, this compliment stands out. Respect.
  • @cyruslackie6844
    “Very funny when it doesn’t work. Can you imagine? Because they trusted you” really got me, he’s so effortlessly funny
  • Did not expect John to be one of the calmest guests on this show. Man he handled those wings like a champ!
  • @skusami2548
    You can tell that Sean is a big John Mulaney fan. It's so cute, he just giggled his way through this entire interview
  • @zachl2965
    Didn't even give da bomb the satisfaction of struggling, just called it trash. Dude's a menace
  • @Burrellstudios
    This man handled these wings like no one else on the show, 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
  • @strawmanfallacy
    Seeing John completely sober it's very obvious when he wasn't.
  • I have to say, he’s so much more funny, confident, and just down right authentic when he’s sober. It takes true strength to be in the spotlight and recover. I don’t know if I’d be able to do it.
  • It's a real testament to how naturally funny and charming John is that its such a great episode even though he barely reacted to the sauces. As I saw someone else mention, it's also kind of scary to realize how good he is at masking any discomfort or pain. I hope John stays strong in his sobriety. It was good to see Sean have such a relaxed and nice time with him.
  • @mcguffers
    It's wild to me that people are surprised he handled the wings so well. If you hear him talk about his addiction, hot sauce is probably the tamest thing he's put into his body.
  • “You didn’t ask me anything I’ve ever been asked before” is honestly such high praise! Well done
  • @Impuhlz
    Just had to pause & acknowledge John's wild improv talent with the fish food discussion from 18:30 - 20:13 -such a charismatically witty Asian American woman <3
  • @bencampbell7662
    Sean: so you don’t have to name any names John immediately: SO JOSH BROLIN
  • I don't think I've ever heard Sean laugh like that. John is so effortlessly disarming. He has such a talent for comedy. I hope he continues to be well and recover. He's still my favorite comedian--no one even comes close
  • @zolacnomiko
    Holy cow John Mulaney took those sauces STONE. COLD. What a beast! What a machine!!
  • @birdacorn1115
    John being a recovering addict with an infant son, this is probably the easiest thing he’ll do all week
