We have Kevin Hart, Charlize Theron, and TikTok to thank for it.
Both videos, filmed prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, went viral due to their candid, outrageous nature.
Chris Schonberger, the creator ofHot Ones,says the shows memeable nature was never the point.
As sort of a Hail Mary, I threw out the idea of eating incredibly spicy wings.
It strikes the right chord for this current moment when candid content rules TikTok.
Were always told about celebrities extreme workout routines and nutrition regimes and things like that.
Sure, most celebrities probably arent ordering chicken nuggets on the reg.
People would like to see celebrities as normal folks.
Celebrities themselves might be trying really hard to be relatable [in instances like these eating interviews].
But this is not real, says Swann.
The Internet is going to do what it does and have its way with it.
And memes are just a by-product of that.
