I’m not even going to comment on the article above except to say that, in the course of attempting to slander an entertainer, you’ve managed to make an audience not predisposed to like them leap to their defense. Congratulations, not all achievements are good but they are achievements.

I’d say Sean Evans is a pretty excellent interviewer, certainly better than the late night Jimmies (I’d even say he’s a better interviewer than Conan, who is great but very clearly struggles when he doesn’t find his guest funny or interesting).

Oh no, that 1 view missing is really gonna sink this “Hot Ones” ship....oh wait.

This is one of the stupidest shows that is proud of its stupid. I can’t believe any self-respecting woman would do it. But don’t make lame ass excuses. Just say “this is stupid ass shit and I have less stupid ways to ingratiate myself with a stupid public.” I’m a vegetarian myself but no one has time for fake wings…

OK, good to know. Hadn’t thought about cauliflower. Who knew one of the nastiest vegetables would prove to be so versatile?

*after the last dab* “So, Jordan, what exactly did you do on Conan’s show at TBS?”

“On one hand, I don’t know what that would look like without Conan bouncing off him at high speed.”

“(assuming they can get some soy wings together).”

This article seems an apt place to remind people ‘cancel culture’ is a term with two words in it.  There seems a dynamic where the less effective and resolute a ‘cancellation’ is, the harder those engaging in the effort press the ‘culture’ part.  With Gillis, in re AvClub, this dynamic is teetering past culture to…

It’s all that and Jon Stewart monologues from here on, baby!

Honestly, it genuinely might have been a case of someone bailing and he was the only dude they could get at the last minute. That’s happened in the past. (I wanna say it was Jeff Goldblum or Weird Al who jumped in when someone tapped out and they were left scrambling. Obviously, those are two wildly better guests, of…

Be awesome if they did, though.

i miss the good ole days when the most important topics to A.V. Club were (a) Bronson Pinchot and (b) you guessed it... Frank Stallone.

While I’m not sure there’s another comedian who so accurately embodies “failing upwards” there are way worse people to get worked up over. 

You know you guys don't have to recap every Hot Ones video, right?

Wait, the AV Club did what..? They would never!

Knowing next to nothing about Gillis I thought I was about to listen to a straight up white supremacist after reading this article. He just seemed like a low-grade bro dude.

No, the AV Club has its priorities straight. The most important topics in entertainment are: (1) Shane Gillis, (2) Bowen Yang, (3) end of list.

I don’t see how they didn’t just shut this show down after Conan’s appearance. There’s nothing greater to be done with the format than what he did.

Dunno why everyone’s so keen to see Grande do it. She’s just gonna grab all Sean’s wings, lick them, and then put them back his plate.
