@elissia bassett its so big on TH-cam that I forget maybe these big Hollywood type who have been in the public eye for 30 years with tons of money probably don't often venture to this part of society
Same! Like, a guest who's seen every episode are usually the ones who WANT to come on this show so we know they're here because they wanted to be, not because they were told to by their agent/publicist. But at the same time, the guests who have no idea what they're getting in to have the best reactions to Da Bomb and are usually very impressed by Sean's questions.
The way Sean calms and comforts guests throughout the show while making them open up about themselves they forget they could . He’s basically a therapist with hot sauce
I don’t know if I would go that far. But she is great and adorable. For example Betty White is just legendary. Till the day she died she was great. And Lucille Ball? Forget about it. Dolly Parton? I mean they are all legends. Julia is great too though.
@@rexrocker1268 Betty White is indeed legendary, but Julia's career peaks are already much higher than Betty's. Betty's a legend because of her personality and longevity, which is a very different type of legend.
@@whodoyoudanceforYeah she’s cool. I think it’s fair to call her legendary up there with some of the rest. I sweated her watching Seinfeld. She’s so cute and funny. Great personality. She’s still hot and she’s 63. I mean seriously she’s so cute. I’ve always loved her, never watched Veep though. But she’s great she really is.
Sean is incredibly empathetic after suffering the bomb so many seasons, he still finds a way to make his guests feel good about themselves for taking 'the wings of death'. He's truly an amazing host!!
Elaine: “yah he had them all lined up in a row! What kinda sick behaviour is that!” Jerry: “in a row? in order of spiciness? You’re not gonna be seeing this guy again right??” George: “I wish I could handle spice. I’d test every woman I dated this way. Good test for character” Jerry: “but you can’t handle spice at all… what does that say about your character now”
Sean taking bites first to make her comfortable even though part of his thing is going with the guest is one of the most adorable things I’ve seen on the show.
You could tell that this was not Julia’s idea 😂 but Sean is a master interviewer and knew exactly how to keep her going. I also love how Sean always gives space for his guests to fully speak at there own pace without constant interruptions like you see on other interviews. I can’t believe I started watching this when it fist became popular and still find it entertaining. Amazing work to Sean and his team ❤
I'm sorry but you can tell she is pretending to taste hot sauce. I tried some at Fire House Subs, I think it was cheech&Chong sauce... I was bouncing off the walls and getting refills at the soda fountain like I was going to die
She's such a hero of mine. So quick and intuitive. Unbelievably intelligent. And one of the funniest people alive. A legend. So glad she had her moment with you guys. PS, Julia, the most underrated national park is Craters of the Moon.
I have always had a huge crush on Julia but the thing I love the most is the fact that she's a billionaires daughter and does what she does for the love of it....
@@miriamrobarts gah. I apologize. I always confuse the two. I'm a photographer and the name speaks for itself: it's an otherworldly environ that, at night especially, takes very little effort to make anyone a space traveler. A massive lava field with the remnants of cinder cones and multiple flows, including explorable caves, it's a different sort of desolation. The earth was alive one minute, petrified the next. It's the hint of what lies beneath us and the expansive past most humans of this age simply don't consider. Powerful forces made our world what it is. The reminder is a potent thing.
@@setaside2Yes, to visitors, it doesn't really matter whether it's a National Park, State Park, National Monument, etc. I was just thinking that could be a reason she didn't name this one. Thanks for sharing more about it! Your ending lines remind me of visiting Mount St. Helens.
Now we just need Hugh Laurie and that’d be pretty much my whole original guest wish list ticked off over the years by Sean and the gang. Much appreciated.
@@brookesargent8249 basically it was all the people I’d always found particularly entertaining - Paul Rudd was a big one, Nick Offerman (got those two really close together as I recall), Neil Patrick Harris, Mila Kunis, Aubrey Plaza, some others I forget. But to be honest, they weren’t all outstanding guests. And some people I never thought of as being interesting or entertaining were great - Charlize Theron, Scarlet Johansson. Some people I dislike were surprisingly great (Shia Labeouf). Some people I’d never heard of were great (Jack Harlow and Emma Chamberlain). Maybe my all time favorite surprise was Idris Elba. I thought he was awesome, a great guest. I’d always been a fan of Luther and The Wire, and I knew he was a great actor. But he’s an awesome guy, super interesting, funny, a good sport. That’s why I love this show.
Julia is just so freaking likeable. Every role ends up being this incredible treat. To think she's been on the air, in one form or another, for nearly 4 decades, it's mind blowing.
My nephew and i were walking across the street when we noticed her. She saw us watching her so she added a swag to her walk. Well we passed each other and she kept looking then turned around and walked into a streetlight. We laughed and she was so embarrassed and shook herself off and hurried away. We just laughed as we walked down the street. She is so funny in every project she has done..
I love that she didn’t want to sound arrogant about her comedy barometer. JLD is quite possibly the best comedic actor of our age. She is certainly in the top five TV comedy stars of all time.
@@CSPORTPDX she has starred in some of the funniest and most popular shows ever on TV. Comedic tastes can be subjective, but only about 6 or 7 people have been as successful for as long as she has. Not every comedic actor is a stand up and not every stand up comic can act. Now, you may not find her funny, but enough people due for her to one of the highest paid comedic actors in TV history.
@@CSPORTPDX if it’s not your brand of comedy then that’s a personal preference thing. Not all my favorite comics will be your favorite but the mass appeal is an undeniable fact. I’m not a fan of Jeff Dunham but he was successful so I can’t claim that he’s not funny because a lot of people love his work.
Sean still has the best questions in any interviewing platform. Whether it's a team effort, or he creates all these himself, it's a huge credit to whoever is involved in this.
@Daniel Son agreed. I hardly miss an episode of Hot Ones, @Micha how insufferable do you have to be to hate on a dude who interviews celebs with spicy chicken wings? 🤣🤣
You realize this show is fake now, right? The early shows had dudes who were sweating, asking for medical attention, etc but now this elderly woman is making it through with very little lack of composure? Gimme a break.
He’s such a great interviewer. He doesn’t ask all the same questions other people do and you can tell the guests are enjoying themselves. I love the look of genuine surprise when his question dives deep and they’re impressed by the research he did.
One day I would like to know from Sean: what percentage of guests does he find actually ask him questions like Julia did. I find celebrities are just so trained to only answer questions and never ask anything of the other person. I’m always happy to see people on here that actually ask him thoughtful questions like the origin story or if he likes hot sauce (even if we’ve already heard the answer 30 times ☺️).
She's still my favorite. I rewatch Seinfeld 2-3 times a year. It drives my wife crazy. It will always be my all-time favorite comedy. Great interview Sean.
This woman is just a wholesome class act, she's one-in-a-generation. I love her, respect her battle with cancer and how she managed to fight it like only a woman could. Veep wouldn't be the legend it is without her!
I love her so much, she raised me actually. "The New Adventures of Old Christine" was everything I watched for yeaars throughout my teenage and early college. It makes me so happy to have her on the show cause it made me revisit that show and I'm on the verge of tears here. I love you Julia you're AWESOME.
It's great to hear a later generation remember her as 'Old Christine'. We from the Seinfeld generation had low expectations of her career after 'Elaine'. I am so glad we were dead wrong.
he always knows more about his guest then his guest knows about themselves. its funny seeing their reaction to some of his way out there unknown questions
I'm 37 and even since the early Seinfeld days I have had a major crush on her. She is still absolutely beautiful all these years later, and she has an amazing sense of humor as well as extremely intelligent. She is the total package and then some.
Just gotta say... watching for 20 seasons, Sean is the transition master, his ability to just chat with a guest and then stir with complete confidence the question to any topic is amazing
i mean, kind of a lame cheat that they call it "20 seasons" when there wasn't actually a season each year "20 seasons" makes it seem like the show has been running longer than it really has.. ehh, cheap advertising, imo
Julia looks amazing. I love that she has taken care of herself, aged naturally, and continues to nail it. As always, Sean is just such a knowledgeable and comforting host. He's legit talented.
I just love how Sean makes his guests comfortable. Never trying to outshine them - if they just nibble at their wings - he will nibble too - if they clean the wings - he will do that too - he is truly amazing!
I love her pure focus. She didnt go for the milk right away and still managed to answer the questions and kept her composure. Thats a true professional.
She doesn't hesitate for one second about not "Dabbing" on the last dab. "I am not gonna do what you just did...I am not worried at all". Julia knows what she's about and doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do. Gotta admire her.
Maybe someone has already suggested this or you've already done it. But there should be a compilation of "That's a good question"...its always genuinely stated and a testament to the quality of the interview 👍🏼 🔥
Dude right? The way the interviewees always look so shocked and happy when Sean brings up something. Like look at Julia's eyes when Sean brings up her college acting stuff. Pure respect and gratitude.
My favorite thing about her is that her family has generational wealth and she doesn’t have to work, but she is one of the hardest working people in the biz.
@@elisam.2896 Stop virtue signaling. I've gotten along well with and have shown respect to every jew I've ever encountered in my life, they are a great people. You can put your head in the sand and pretend racial stereotypes dont exist if you want to, but I live in the real world. I'm not afraid to speak about cultural or racial differences as long as long as it is not in a hateful manner. Also there is nothing negative about saying that a group of people are stereotypically exceptional at financial economics, they are winning the "game of life." If anything what I said was pro-semitism...
She’s been so good for so long. She’s like the Tom Brady of comediennes! And unlike Tom she achieved GOAT status without shilling for any Crypto scammers…
Huge appreciation for Julia doing this challenge! She is most of us with a mild palate for hot wings! And she hung in there! Kudos for her! But I can only imagine the conversation with her publicist in the car home! 😂
Julia is such a legend. Forget her status as a female actor/comedian, she's just one of the best to ever make people laugh. I have a huge crush on her.
I love how this show is like a behind the scenes insight to actors and how they came to be where they are now, I would love behind the scenes of this show like prep and afterwards, such a great show and great guests and Sean who is the born for this and I am a true fan of this show
Same. I would love a bts show. What's always fascinated me the most is how they get the guest. Do they reach out to celeb's people, do their people reach out to the show, or is it a mixture of both? Are there cases where the celeb tells their people "I really want to do this show or are they told It will be good for your image/optics? My ideal scenario is a documentary-like show following an episode from the start of the process until the end followed by the premiere of the finished episode.
The podcast Conan O' Brien Needs a Friend is also really good if you want to hear actors/musicians/comedians talk more informally and talk about their creative process. Julia Louis-Dreyfus actually made an appearance on the first season.
I have been a fan of Julia Louis-Dreyfus since her days on SNL, VEEP, to the MCU playing Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. She is a fantastic actress and a wonderful person. She is so genuine. It’s given a chance I would love to meet her in person to have a five minute chat with. I have much respect for her.
I'm so thrilled Julia was a guest. She's super funny and talented. Did a great job of chowing on the wings. Slightly disappointed she didn't do the final dab, but I'm not the one going through what she's going through. Proud of you Little Giggles. You rocked it!
Sean, your interviewing skills and early recognition of Julia's struggle to eat hot sauce was outstanding! You guided her to the end with the warmth of parent holding a child's hand in a scary situation. You are growing with your hosting skills and it shows!
Watching this reminds me of how influential Julia has been in the industry. Others could have been cast for Elaine's Seinfeld role and superbly owned the character but in hindsight Julia set the bar too high for almost anyone to reach. Jerry would be an interesting guest but let's shoot for the great Larry David (or Jason Alexander) next 😃
May I just take a moment to appreciate the music/audio editors here. That triumphant they-made-it-through feeling thst comes at the end of each episode... for Sean, there's just him and the guest in conversation; which he leads to a close that also helps the guest feel accomplished while creating a segue to the guests plug. But the editors... they cover the entire episode with music that emphasizes the vibe of the conversations. And they follow the moment so well, that we fully understand how both people felt throughout the video... without even noticing how well-placed every piece of audio is, driving that feeling home.
I’m loving her podcast, Wiser Than Me. It’s about time older women had a platform to be smart, awesome, cool, honest, menopausal, wrinkly and funny. I’m happy to see her in Hot Ones.
I love her podcast! Episodes don’t come out fast enough 😂 I’ve been suggesting her podcast to everyone. She just said the F word, just like in her podcast. And she calls her mom (mommy) after each interview Love it!
You guys get so many ridiculously talented people, and don't squander the opportunity by throwing softball questions. You ask questions which a) Give us better insights on the person, and b) introduce us to people we never heard of. Keep up the great work!
This is the best interview show on the internet. Actually, this is the best interview show, hands down, full stop, period. You guys ask the best questions. You pummel the guests with heat to ensure they are not in a position to give stock answers AND the endorphin rush they get is like wonder woman's lasso of truth. You ask great questions and get very honest answers.
He is impressive. He literally has an interest & knowledge & respect in so many things. In fact, it’s pretty much all things music & film. It’s impressive, bc he’s a journalist. He’s not even in the business lol. He researches these people’s backgrounds, in order to connect with them & show them respect. He knew exactly what she was talking about at 4:03. It’s very impressive. He’s just a sweetheart. He’s cool, a simple communicator & he’s very professional.
She was the definition of a good sport. She obviously isn't someone who eats sauces like Da Bomb but still managed to make it through. Well done to her.
She was great. But, just wanted to point out, NO ONE eats sauces like Da Bomb. Have you tasted it? It's the definition of "hot garbage". It has no redeeming qualities, like flavor.
Sean Evans, your interviews are always very refreshing due to your professionalism as a journalist. Julia I have loved you since watching you play the character of Elaine on Seinfeld (the ONLY female supporting cast member on set). Julia looks like her dad (who was also a billionaire) and she seems like one of the few actresses that is just a pleasant person to be around. Thanks again Sean for another wonderful interview.
Have to admit toward the mid-point, I thought Julia might be the first woman to tap out (at least I think that record is still intact), but she hung in and made it to the finish line!
Julia is as good as people get. She is just a great example of hard work and dedication to the arts. Sure, she could have worked for the family business and taken an easy, very lucrative path, but she chose to go for the impossible and made it work without becoming an ego maniac in the process.
Who are the comedy legends that you need to see on Hot Ones still?
Bobcat
David. Chappelle.
Graham Norton
David Letterman
Conan!
I don't know what I love more: a guest who has seen every episode and respects the process or a guest who's got no clue what's about to happen.
The ones who have no clue are my favorite...they way they look off camera at their staff gets me every time 😂

Her portrayal of Selina Meyer on Veep is truly an all time performance. She deserved every single award she won for that show and more.

The writing on that show was so good, everyone got to standout. But she REALLY nails the comedy in that show. Her timing is so good, it's crazy
One of my FAVORITE characters ever. She was vicious
@@loomis88 DeFontaine is not the kind of person you want to trust.
She’s one of the most overrated of all time. Elaine was the worst person on Seinfeld.
There will never be another woman like her in show biz. What an absolute legend.

No doubt. But it's odd that there's two tables, two rows of hot sauces, etc.

I liked how Julia asked Sean questions. She was humble and friendly, even as she was being torched by the wings.
She did this on Conan's podcast, too. She seems to like to turn it into more of a conversation, which is cool.
Haven't seen Julia in years and altho I shouldn't say this, I just can't believe how old she got. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just glad she's not talking politics.
She's someone who can turn on the charm and humor so well, but you can tell that she could flip a switch and just eviscerate someone if she wanted to.
Ah, so you've seen Veep 😂

@@JamesJoyce12 Well you just high-fived the doctors so
@@dystopiawanderer Threw money at it.
Uncanny how accurately VEEP predicted Kamala Harris.
I love her so much, she raised me actually. "The New Adventures of Old Christine" was everything I watched for yeaars throughout my teenage and early college. It makes me so happy to have her on the show cause it made me revisit that show and I'm on the verge of tears here. I love you Julia you're AWESOME.
Yep. Great comment. Julia represents something special to so many people in the US and across the globe.
i kinda wished he asked her something about that show though! i love it so much
It's great to hear a later generation remember her as 'Old Christine'. We from the Seinfeld generation had low expectations of her career after 'Elaine'. I am so glad we were dead wrong.
Oh Sean you are such a lucky man. I can’t believe you have JLD on your show. The world is envious & watching. 🍾🥂🥰🥰
Sean is a legendary interviewer and always seems to bring the best out of every personality they have on the show! Absolutely delivers every time!
he always knows more about his guest then his guest knows about themselves. its funny seeing their reaction to some of his way out there unknown questions
I'm 37 and even since the early Seinfeld days I have had a major crush on her. She is still absolutely beautiful all these years later, and she has an amazing sense of humor as well as extremely intelligent. She is the total package and then some.
Just gotta say... watching for 20 seasons, Sean is the transition master, his ability to just chat with a guest and then stir with complete confidence the question to any topic is amazing
i mean, kind of a lame cheat that they call it "20 seasons" when there wasn't actually a season each year
"20 seasons" makes it seem like the show has been running longer than it really has.. ehh, cheap advertising, imo
The questions always make the guests think a little, making them more excited to answer it with more detail. Love it
Julia looks amazing. I love that she has taken care of herself, aged naturally, and continues to nail it. As always, Sean is just such a knowledgeable and comforting host. He's legit talented.
She’s a stinkin cutie
Really? It looked to me like she just had work done and her face wasn't moving much.
id yada yada with her 😍
Psst, that's not her real hair color. She looks lovely, but that is not what "natural aging" looks like...
Pssst. I was talking about her face@@ashleyking695 .
I just love how Sean makes his guests comfortable. Never trying to outshine them - if they just nibble at their wings - he will nibble too - if they clean the wings - he will do that too - he is truly amazing!
*Except with Khaled. Sean ate all his wings just to show him up. And it was very much called-for
I know the hot wings and the guests are the selling points, but I always come for the great questions Sean asks. He's the best in his game
I love her pure focus. She didnt go for the milk right away and still managed to answer the questions and kept her composure. Thats a true professional.
what
She doesn't hesitate for one second about not "Dabbing" on the last dab. "I am not gonna do what you just did...I am not worried at all". Julia knows what she's about and doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do. Gotta admire her.
Maybe someone has already suggested this or you've already done it. But there should be a compilation of "That's a good question"...its always genuinely stated and a testament to the quality of the interview 👍🏼 🔥
Dude right? The way the interviewees always look so shocked and happy when Sean brings up something. Like look at Julia's eyes when Sean brings up her college acting stuff. Pure respect and gratitude.
There are over 9, 15 min long videos just about this.
I love how she has him go first in the latter half there's that sense of comfort at least they're sharing in the suffering but he does it first
Wow, the more famous people used to open and/or close the season, now every episode is BIG! Very happy for you.
My favorite thing about her is that her family has generational wealth and she doesn’t have to work, but she is one of the hardest working people in the biz.
You could have just said she's Jewish yet still works.
@@Mr.Sr.Jr.And you could just say you’re a knuckle-dragging anti-semite. That works even better!
She has Jewish ancestry on her paternal side, but she’s not Jewish herself
@@Mr.Sr.Jr. wow just some casual anti-semitism to spice up the comments? that's a choice
@@elisam.2896 Stop virtue signaling. I've gotten along well with and have shown respect to every jew I've ever encountered in my life, they are a great people. You can put your head in the sand and pretend racial stereotypes dont exist if you want to, but I live in the real world. I'm not afraid to speak about cultural or racial differences as long as long as it is not in a hateful manner.
Also there is nothing negative about saying that a group of people are stereotypically exceptional at financial economics, they are winning the "game of life." If anything what I said was pro-semitism...
She's great. I've always loved her work and her comedy. I never realized until this interview how absolutely adorable she is. What a treasure!
From A list celebs to the POTUS herself...this show has come so far. 🤯
So true. Looking back at the caliber of guests in S1 versus today, it's amazing.
not just a national treasure, but an international one. there's so much to love about Julia! biggest love from Australia x
You've got to be kidding. What an arrogant, one dimensional performer. She is terrible.
She’s been so good for so long. She’s like the Tom Brady of comediennes! And unlike Tom she achieved GOAT status without shilling for any Crypto scammers…
She's supporting the abolishment of 2A rights in America. She's an absolute idiot.
Huge appreciation for Julia doing this challenge! She is most of us with a mild palate for hot wings! And she hung in there! Kudos for her! But I can only imagine the conversation with her publicist in the car home! 😂
At minute 13: "By the way, are you allowed to swear on this show?" 🤣🤣
Between Sean’s talent for interviewing and watching famous people be in a situation where they struggle to keep up a facade, I LOVE this show.
Julia is such a legend. Forget her status as a female actor/comedian, she's just one of the best to ever make people laugh. I have a huge crush on her.
Julia looks timeless. As if she doesn't age at all. Love her.
I reckon she’s probably a vampire…
Might be a vampirebuy she definitely ages...
She looks amazing!
Yeah right
She’s beautiful.
Man I love Julia but this show always brings me back to your channel. Your interview skills are phenomenal.
I love how this show is like a behind the scenes insight to actors and how they came to be where they are now, I would love behind the scenes of this show like prep and afterwards, such a great show and great guests and Sean who is the born for this and I am a true fan of this show
Sean is my favorite host ever. I love how he dives deep and the guests are usually surprised at how much he knows!
Same. I would love a bts show. What's always fascinated me the most is how they get the guest. Do they reach out to celeb's people, do their people reach out to the show, or is it a mixture of both? Are there cases where the celeb tells their people "I really want to do this show or are they told It will be good for your image/optics? My ideal scenario is a documentary-like show following an episode from the start of the process until the end followed by the premiere of the finished episode.
The podcast Conan O' Brien Needs a Friend is also really good if you want to hear actors/musicians/comedians talk more informally and talk about their creative process. Julia Louis-Dreyfus actually made an appearance on the first season.
She is so naturally charming and funny. Love her. Well prepared and charming host as well!
She has that expression of a Mom indulging a kid with his silly ideas!!! lol
I have been a fan of Julia Louis-Dreyfus since her days on SNL, VEEP, to the MCU playing Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. She is a fantastic actress and a wonderful person. She is so genuine. It’s given a chance I would love to meet her in person to have a five minute chat with. I have much respect for her.
This lady is 60+ and has a crazy net worth but she still out here looking great and still hustling.
Greatly under-exaggerated wealth too due to her father's passing. She's a literal billionaire.
Yeah, she looks likes a millions bucks! ...of plastic surgery!
JLD is so pure, she’s the first guest i didn’t want to see subjected to Da Bomb 😭
I'm so thrilled Julia was a guest. She's super funny and talented.
Did a great job of chowing on the wings. Slightly disappointed she didn't do the final dab, but I'm not the one going through what she's going through.
Proud of you Little Giggles.
You rocked it!
She's taking "microbites".
Watch David Blaine. He's Batman.
He even eats a Carolina reaper.
I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus! So glad you got her on. Such awesome questions by Sean and crew!
Sean, your interviewing skills and early recognition of Julia's struggle to eat hot sauce was outstanding! You guided her to the end with the warmth of parent holding a child's hand in a scary situation. You are growing with your hosting skills and it shows!
A truly amazing and talented woman. Have loved being entertained by her comedy since the spit takes on Saturday night live till right up to this show.
Yikes I thought his hosting was pretty bad ngl
Watching this reminds me of how influential Julia has been in the industry. Others could have been cast for Elaine's Seinfeld role and superbly owned the character but in hindsight Julia set the bar too high for almost anyone to reach. Jerry would be an interesting guest but let's shoot for the great Larry David (or Jason Alexander) next 😃
Larry David and spicy food would make for hilarious interview.
Lol Larry David and Conan are both contenders for an amazing show
Jason Alexander or Larry David would make the show
Oh my God if he could get LD....I'd lose it.
Oh man, LD would be soooo good. He would pick apart this show so hard
I like how she asked if she can cuss after cussing all thru the episode to that point 😆
May I just take a moment to appreciate the music/audio editors here.
That triumphant they-made-it-through feeling thst comes at the end of each episode... for Sean, there's just him and the guest in conversation; which he leads to a close that also helps the guest feel accomplished while creating a segue to the guests plug.
But the editors... they cover the entire episode with music that emphasizes the vibe of the conversations. And they follow the moment so well, that we fully understand how both people felt throughout the video... without even noticing how well-placed every piece of audio is, driving that feeling home.
I think Sean's superpower isn't the great questions, or his ability to make his guests feel at ease, it's his ability to listen.
I was waiting for her to give him a big push and say Shut up, like he was Kramer!
JLD, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are the trifecta of true female brilliance in comedy
Ms. Pat.
I would put Kate McKinnon in there too.
They should all do Hot Ones. Mama Julia has led the way!
Kristin Wiig too ❤
has beens Tina okay amy not! Try Rosanne she was the best by far and Christine Applegate has something they all didnt she was HOT!
When the guest goes "Are you going to eat them too?" you know you're in for a good interview :'D
" 'No' is a complete sentence." 🤯 Hitting me with that sage insight, thanks Julia.
I’m loving her podcast, Wiser Than Me. It’s about time older women had a platform to be smart, awesome, cool, honest, menopausal, wrinkly and funny. I’m happy to see her in Hot Ones.
Every generation has them, you just didn't care enough to notice the one before you
@@furlough2327 truth for everything
"It's about time." Literally, anybody can start a podcast for christ sakes. It's not something that is held hostage and deprived from women. 🤦♂️
“…Permanently disfigured”, best line! 😂 LOL
Love how the Hot Sauce helped her to be more relaxed near the end. Sean always best instinct on how to connect with the guests. Well done.
I love her podcast! Episodes don’t come out fast enough 😂 I’ve been suggesting her podcast to everyone. She just said the F word, just like in her podcast. And she calls her mom (mommy) after each interview Love it!
I haven't seen this yet and I already know it will be amongst my favorites. Julia is one of the greatest of all time.
You guys get so many ridiculously talented people, and don't squander the opportunity by throwing softball questions. You ask questions which a) Give us better insights on the person, and b) introduce us to people we never heard of. Keep up the great work!
This is the best interview show on the internet.
Actually, this is the best interview show, hands down, full stop, period. You guys ask the best questions. You pummel the guests with heat to ensure they are not in a position to give stock answers AND the endorphin rush they get is like wonder woman's lasso of truth. You ask great questions and get very honest answers.
Just gasped out loud seeing this episode suggestion. I've always ADORED Julia's work. Can't wait to see her interview.
She's been doing the interview/podcast rounds recently cause of the movie!
Thank God you asked a Veep question Sean. One of the greatest shows of all time.
He is impressive. He literally has an interest & knowledge & respect in so many things. In fact, it’s pretty much all things music & film. It’s impressive, bc he’s a journalist. He’s not even in the business lol. He researches these people’s backgrounds, in order to connect with them & show them respect. He knew exactly what she was talking about at 4:03. It’s very impressive. He’s just a sweetheart. He’s cool, a simple communicator & he’s very professional.
I can tell she completely hit the wall after da bomb and was over it but I’m proud of her for pushing through! Great interview. Julia is hilarious!
She was the definition of a good sport. She obviously isn't someone who eats sauces like Da Bomb but still managed to make it through. Well done to her.
She obviously isn't someone who eats anything spicier than ketchup, but she was absolutely a good sport! ^_^
Duh if you take micro bites😂😂😂
She was great. But, just wanted to point out, NO ONE eats sauces like Da Bomb. Have you tasted it? It's the definition of "hot garbage". It has no redeeming qualities, like flavor.
Sean Evans, your interviews are always very refreshing due to your professionalism as a journalist. Julia I have loved you since watching you play the character of Elaine on Seinfeld (the ONLY female supporting cast member on set). Julia looks like her dad (who was also a billionaire) and she seems like one of the few actresses that is just a pleasant person to be around. Thanks again Sean for another wonderful interview.
I love Julia, praying for her good health and success in any battle she faces❤🧡💛
Crazy to think she’s worth so much through her family but also forged her own massive success with her work
Julia was a highly unexpected guest in my book, but I’m still here for it.
I agree:)
She was scheduled on it a few years ago with Will Ferrell but backed out that morning because of some issue and will had to do it alone.
Have to admit toward the mid-point, I thought Julia might be the first woman to tap out (at least I think that record is still intact), but she hung in and made it to the finish line!
It's incredible what an amazing interviewer Sean is. And he gets better every time. Julia was a blast and quite a brave hot sauce warrior Cheers!!
She was so cute laughing and taking little terrified bites of the last three. It's clear shes genuine and fun to be around.
Asking Elaine about being Elaine is definitely a bucket-list item for any interviewer. Amazing.
Julia is as good as people get. She is just a great example of hard work and dedication to the arts. Sure, she could have worked for the family business and taken an easy, very lucrative path, but she chose to go for the impossible and made it work without becoming an ego maniac in the process.
My God I have had a crush on this woman for 30 plus years. Good job Julia you rocked it out.
Sean: “Do you have a barometer…”
Kramer pops in: “It’s pronounced thermometer.”
