Netflix wants to heat up its live programming slate with a red-hot talk show.
The streaming giant is in talks to pick up some live editions of the popular YouTube talk show Hot Ones, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The show, which is hosted by Sean Evans and produced by BuzzFeed’s First We Feast, sees Evans grill a celebrity guest over spicy chicken wings, with each wing being hotter than the last.
The deal, assuming it comes together, would see Evans host some live versions of the show exclusively for Netflix, as Bloomberg first reported.
