Absolutely love the fact that this was an actual conversation and less of an interview. I love the interviews obviously but it was great to see a guest ask Sean questions too. I loved every second.
Awkwafina's mom was friends with my parents. I didn't know a lot about Korean culture but her mom taught me. I hope I can thank Awkwafina some day & let her know what a difference her mom had on my life.
Sure... except Awkwafina may not wear blackface, but it’s undeniable that her act has relied on a caricature of African Americans. What’s disappointing is that Awkwafina fiercely opposes the stereotypical Asian accent and understands the hurtfulness of tacky impersonations. In an interview with Broadly she even explained that performing the accent would make her feel like she’s “making a minstrel out of [her] people.” hypocrites are the worst.
For some people, moments like that are like having a rash you can't ignore and vitiligo you can't hide on the same spot. It can be soul-crushing if you can't turn your perspective around.
I love her, too. I love how she described her experience of motherlessness and reading Bukowski. She's incredible. Strong and resilient, and an excellent comedian.
I've never been so happy to see a Hot Ones episode pop up in my life. I love Awkwafina!!!!!!! I love that Sean was such a fan of hers. This felt like an OG episode of Hot Ones, This is my fave episode thus far.
Exactly! This felt genuine for the first time in a while. I'm glad the show is growing, but some of the guests they're able to get now are so awkward to watch. Like you can see they're acting. This feels like the original, authentic show
@@mediterralien I missed one "w" because I was watching and typing at the same time. My misspelling doesn't take away from the fact that she is amazing and this episode was incredible!
Right? I'm SO guilty of rushing to judgement then discounting based on the name Awkwafina...I'm super impressed re: her intelligence and how well spoken she is.
I really don’t know Awkwafina but after watching this she seems like a really nice person like a best friend you could have. My big respect on her. Now I’m a fan.
I don't like it. I think it takes away from experiencing the other sauces after it. Yeah, it's funny to see each guest's pain reaction, but that's all it is. I'm sure Sean is tired of enduring it himself too.
that scoville rating is a joke for having tried it its barely bearable eeeaaa it wasnt ... I literally skip to da bomb for people I do not know just to see their reactions to it
Sean guests tell you time and time again, but you're seriously one of the best interviewers ever. The level of comfort guests show while being so physically uncomfortable is amazing every episode.
Fun fact: Awkwafina is the first Asian-American actress to win a Golden Globe award for acting in a feature film, which she won for her performance as Billi from The Farewell (2019).
I've watched Hot One's since the beginning and I swear, every episode during Sean's intro I'm still expecting him to say "Hi I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Disney Channel"
I learned about Awkwa from Crazy Rich Asians and she was immediately my favorite character in the whole movie. Then I hear she's in the new kids movie and GUESS WHAT I'M WATCHING WITH MY NIECE NEXT CHANCE I GET? She's just got such a personality, I freaking love her.
I ordered the Hot Ones 3 pack a few weeks ago. Classic and Los Cal are almost gone. Apollo. Whew. That may last a few months but I'm pushing thru the pain. Apollo is insidious.
When she mentioned "innocent looking chicken" with regards to the ramen, I knew exactly what she was talking about, and my ass got fooled by it too - never ate it again. They weren't kidding when it said "FIRE" chicken flavoured Lol.
Hot ones is a segment where I enjoy it on a weekly basis, but the interviewing skills Sean has are something I truly admire, as in I learned a lot over the course of many months on how to base a conversation with any individual I've met. So yeah thanks a lot, Sean!
I'm so happy for Awkwafina. I remember her when I only knew her from little parts on Guy/Girl Code on MTV and now she's an award winning actress. AND she championed those wings. Good for her.
The Farewell was my favourite movie of 2019. So real and true and she was excellent in it. So happy that she's basically a Hollywood superstar now - totally deserved!
I swear, Sean has the most amazing questions for everyone on the show. It is almost a religious experience hearing the things he asks his guest. This is what addicted me to this show.
Unlike primetime TV talk shows, on this show, the interviewee is primary and the promotion is secondary. When the person it real, due to chilli, they become relatable and the promotion sells itself. Fire.
The amazing thing about Sean isn't that he asks questions that we all want to hear. No. He asks questions that we didn't know we'd actually be interested in hearing a response to. So our interest becomes just as peaked as the interviewee. It's genuinely intelligent journalism.
I'm glad to her on the show. It's interesting to observe the dynamics between the interviewer and the guest when they have to talk remotely. I feel like he'd always have much better chemistry when talking in person.
Yo! Those Korean noodles with the chicken logo! I live in Japan and they sell them here. Absolute destruction of saliva glands 😂 glad I’m not the only one who thinks the label is extremely misinforming
Awkwafina brought Sean back to his element with being that former host mentality! This was thee first zoom Hot Ones where the chills came back as Sean rallied the curtain call for Awkwafina to promote what she has going on!! And it truly shows how her love of the show and spirit rose into this episode. Thank you Awkwafina!!!
This made me so happy to see. Was wondering when she was going to get the chance to be on. So down to earth and I loved the chemistry between her and Sean. Super fun!
Regarding the Bobby Lee episode: Did he or didn't he? What do you think?
i have no fucking idea why are you asking me
Get Logan Paul in Hot Ones
Course he did
he’s asking if you think he shit himself
I totally think he shat his pants, And we need to get him back
Absolutely love the fact that this was an actual conversation and less of an interview. I love the interviews obviously but it was great to see a guest ask Sean questions too. I loved every second.
Yes, exactly!
The best interviews are a conversation.
Theo did the same thing
Yes! Just like the Paul Rudd episode
That's cause she's a host as well
Not only did Sean do his homework on Awkwafina Awkwafina did her homework on Sean
I look forward to the upcoming research wars

You can tell she is an interviewer as well, they feed off each other so well
Yes!! 🙌🙂
Sean deserves an award for his hosting abilities. He's been the best for a couple years now.
It's honestly incredible how easily he handles the da bomb. I know done like a 1000 interviews but still
Wtf you talking about
For sure! Happy that I found him through Charisma on Command of all places
I love how she said she can't help but be a host, and she asks Sean questions.
She stole her name from a bottle of water? Does she know?

@@Pendelton7030 wtf does money have to do with anything? Are you envious of her wallet?
The question back and forth was so fun to watch!
Awkwafina's mom was friends with my parents. I didn't know a lot about Korean culture but her mom taught me. I hope I can thank Awkwafina some day & let her know what a difference her mom had on my life.
That's amazing, I hope you're able to talk to Awkwafina one day too
She's uh.. Chinese..
@@DoomStarRequiem Her dad is Chinese American & her mom was Korean (she passed away)
@@chaizea9429 oh.. only ever read her chinese name..
And all these time I thought she was Chinese
Awkwafina is such a good guest. The more I see of her the more I like her. A very authentic, down-to-earth, and talented woman.
Extremely talented and down to earth for reals
Sure... except Awkwafina may not wear blackface, but it’s undeniable that her act has relied on a caricature of African Americans.

this is a great interview. thanks, Sean! always the most amazing interviewer
I love ya Mr. Rafael 💖

Shit sucked
Y’all, this interview was great
Agreed! 👍🏽
you should get Ryan Reynolds to do this. i think it would be one of the funniest videos.
They probably will once Free Guy is close to being released.
Love the profile pic 😂
Hoping they'll get him on for Free Guy promotion! Would LOVE to see him interviewed by Shawn.
I'd already had enough if Ryan when I watched Blade 3. He needs to go away.
@@CRHE, you are entitled to your wrong opinion
The waitress story made me feel so bad for her. The fact that she still remembers what that woman said so many years later.
For some people, moments like that are like having a rash you can't ignore and vitiligo you can't hide on the same spot. It can be soul-crushing if you can't turn your perspective around.

Did you just assume Awkwafina's gender? Yikes.
I love how shocked she was when Sean said he was a fan of her show
And how she just lit up with happiness when Sean explained. Such a nice interview
Awkwafina is one of my favorite celebrities. She's so grounded, genuine, curious and interesting. Her voice is fantastic.
She’s so entertaining. I could listen to her talk all day
@Carl Caliente the same way you love trolling, so there’s that! Must suck to be a loser. Y’all tend to be negative af.

@@mediterralien I missed one "w" because I was watching and typing at the same time. My misspelling doesn't take away from the fact that she is amazing and this episode was incredible!
Fun fact: Awkwafina, misplaces the "w" in her name sometimes, so it's likely that you saw it without the "w" before.
@mediterralien As a "white male" it's great to see you try and unite the black and asian communities
I’m glad she’s doing successful, her voice alone has loads of potential
I came here after watching Raya with my daughter. I'm obsessed with her voice!!
She sounds at times like a 47 year old divorce attorney with about 30 years of smoking under the belt

She was perfect!

I don't like it. I think it takes away from experiencing the other sauces after it.
Yeah, it's funny to see each guest's pain reaction, but that's all it is.
I'm sure Sean is tired of enduring it himself too.
Lmao

This.
One of my favorite things about every episode is when I fall in love with the guests authentic personality
I love how hot ones can make me go from "Oh she's that girl from that movie" to "I think i have a crush on Awkafina" in just one episode.
Its justified, she cute tho
She is adorable af, with just the right amount of weirdness!

MAD RESPECT for this woman when she started to talk about her childhood and how it shaped her life.
I thought her reply about the novel she read as a kid was extremely well articulated, could see she was passionate about it.
I started watching for the spice reachtions, but now I just appreciate Sean's journalistic range.
She’s just so sweet! She’s the only person so far who has asked so many good questions and seemed genuinely interested.
Google algorithm engineers: "there's been a curious uptick in english to korean translation requests for 'cat nipples'"
Sean and his team need an award for Best Interviewing. Really love Awkwa so much. Such humble beginnings and what a lovely person.
That Chinese medicine her grandmother gave her is the same shit my family uses for literally any stomach issue you can think of lol
Same! I'm the only one in my family who can't stomach it X_X

I think the exact same thing
She's so insightful, humble, reflective and more. ILY Awkwafina omg
Awkwafina and Sean Evans are the duo I didn't know I needed

I've tried all of them, still getting acquainted but so far i really like Hellfire 😈
I loved 'Tawk' with Awkwafina!! Did anyone else watch that show?!
She interviewed viners and other interesting celebrities and rapped in every episode
Tawk is so genuine, imagine if Sean and her could collabs to make things like... First We Tawk !
Was this the same show were she would interview people in a bodega? If so... then yes :)
You can tell Awkwafina has a background in interviewing because she actually asks Sean questions. I don't think a lot of celebs think to do that
I think that's just her personality.
@@lifu._ no its not just her personality... she had her own talk show before

Hot ones is a segment where I enjoy it on a weekly basis, but the interviewing skills Sean has are something I truly admire, as in I learned a lot over the course of many months on how to base a conversation with any individual I've met. So yeah thanks a lot, Sean!
Sean asks the BEST questions. Give this man a late night show Now!
Not to take anything from Sean, but he works with a talented group of people that collaborate to research the guests to formulate these questions
19:12 "..no strings relationship with a trumpet.."
😂 She was being serious, but her word choice made me laugh outloud.
Fantastic play on words.
