Hollywood stars on Hot Ones are a sight to behold. As the top A-Listers brave the spicy wings, their hilarious reactions make up for a full dose of the weekend’s entertainment. Be it Tom Holland's cry for a doctor and Lewis Hamilton's efforts as a vegan tackling spicy chicken wings, the star's reactions had the audience in stitches. This time, it is the Bad Boy gangsta, Oscar winner Will Smith, taking the hot seat of the American YouTube Talk show. 

Always accustomed to meeting them on screen either a superhero or a brute, Hot Ones humanizes the celebrities, only to prove that if not anything, they are humans just like us. As made public on their official X handle, Hot Ones in collaboration with the online food culture magazine and YouTube channel, First We Feast, is all set to receive the King Richard star as their next guest. The episode, entitled Will Smith vs The Wings of Death, is due to air on Thursday, July 6th, at 11 am ET.

Now, whether Will Smith will make it through the challenge or not depends on his diet. Back in 2019, Smith was a heavy eater. “I eat food like an addict,” once revealed the star in one of his interviews about his eating habits. Moreso, he was a gazer who needed something in his mouth every half an hour. However, currently with strict diet routines and balanced meals, Smith is back in shape. With his addict-like instinct, nonetheless, the star might be well poised to join the stellar roster of guests on the immensely popular talk show. Fans, meanwhile, are excited more than ever before for this upcoming episode.

Fans are reasonably on the edge of their seats, eager to watch one of their favorites take upon the torturous challenge. “I'm curious to see this one,” exclaimed one while another user admitted, “This is gonna be fire” but with a cautionary message. Other netizens bombarded the comments section with puns, writing how they "bet those wings are gonna SLAP” which roughly translates to this episode is going to be insanely good unless you are referring to something else. 

A couple of other users, meanwhile, seemed to be genuinely invested in the upcoming episode, keeping aside the jabs and swipes.

Although this would be Will Smith’s first appearance on the show, he has been discussed earlier. Previously as famous singer Zayn Malik graced the show, he revealed the unheard connection between One Direction and Smith's signpost show track, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air anthem, seeding the idea of roping in the Fresh Prince himself for what seems to be an exciting episode.
