"Hot Ones Versus" is a spin-off of the popular YouTube talk show "Hot Ones," created by Sean Evans and Chris Schonberger. Unlike the original show where Sean Evans interviews celebrities while eating increasingly spicy wings, "Hot Ones Versus" pits two or more celebrities against each other in a competition. Guests have two choices: tell the truth to personal questions or suffer the wrath of the "Last Dab" hot sauce. The celebrity who eats the most wings loses the competition. The show aims for a playful vibe, contrasting with the original series' more serious tone. "Hot Ones Versus" is available on YouTube via the First We Feast channel and episodes average around 15 minutes in length. The show launched on January 31, 2024.
The show does not have a fixed cast, but is hosted Sean Evans who also hosts the original show. The show features different celebrity guests in each episode.
Some notable guests include:
- Ciara vs. Russell Wilson
- AJ Mendez vs. CM Punk
- Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, and Gaten Matarazzo ("Stranger Things" cast)
- Adam Scott vs. Patricia Arquette
- Zoe Saldaña vs. Sam Worthington
- Uncle Roger vs. Nick DiGiovanni
