Shout out to Luda for blessing us with a BONUS episode of Hot Ones! Who do you want to see on next season's premiere?
Ryan gosling!!
Luddddda
Jim Carrey!!! Probably the only person that can Top Conan!!
Either Dark Shadows’ Kathryn Leigh Scott or Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink
Chris brown or joyner Lucas
Literally every guest "That's a great question, Ive never been asked that before" I love that for Sean 🔥🔥
every episode. this dude is better than the feds. his deep research is crazy good.
obviously sean is integral to this show and is amazing but i’m glad people still recognize it after all this time and constantly give him his props
Conan O'brien telling Sean he was a great interviewer has to be one of the highlights of his career.
@justlivingintaylorworld I downvoted you just for your dream to fail. Stop begging and put the work in.
@justlivingintaylorworld No one, and I mean, NO ONE, likes like-beggars.
Sean explaining the premise of Hot Ones to Ludacris: WHEN I CHEW YOU CHEW JUST LIKE THAT
Take this like and have a nice rest of your day.
This deserves a lot of likes. Good job!
lol nice.
I need this on a shirt.
🤣
his “im so glad you asked that question” every time is killing me 😭😭 I’ve never seen two people so palpably want to be talking to each other in an interview, and it just makes my heart so warm.
He could just be a regular dude during the interview, which he probably appreciated. A good time vs more work, like a lot of interviews are.
This is what happens when Sean has a guest worth interviewing. Instead of just picking ten random factoids or deep dives.
Yess! I noticed too. Both respect each other's craft. Love to see it.
Sean is an excellent interviewer, he's always like this. Don't make your heart too warm yet.
Never see Sean this excited and animated during an interview. You know it's a good one when the man himself is this into it.
He is probably a huge Luda fan. You can see it on his face
They vibe so well bros 4 life
@@naiaramarie1310 Luda was so cool and complementary. Great interview from both
Illuminati forced him to interview him
Because it's friggin Luda!! Of course he's giddy!
23:21 “cheers man I got nothing going on ” 💀 bro really came for the side quest 😭😭
He just wanted to do it probably and get a good interview in with Sean. Maybe he wanted the chicken too. Hot Ones that kind of show now where you want to go on there. Just enough exposure
@@CrazeeAdamexactly what he meant and said in other words
He was there to advertise Stella Artois, and did a good job of it.
Paid by Stella. That's what he's got going on.
@@CrazeeAdamwhen he says, "Yeah...that's my favorite one so far" about a wing spicier than any of us peasants can handle 😂
He's so charismatic, amazing guest choice
Hot Ones is sure making up for Ice Spice
Of course, because it’s Luda, Christopher Bridges man, and he rocks!!! Atl!
@@chefvld Lewdaaaa
He just went on this to take some heat off himself from the Diddy case 😂😂😂😂
@@BrianThompson-dj8rhThat! What Brian said.
Luda was just the perfect guest. Can tell he wants to be here. Great depth when answering but stil short and to the point. No extra just exactly what we wanted to know and both have the let me give u the best interview attitudes. Best interview i have seen in a while. Distinguished.
I love how the guests always say "that's a great question" or "wow thanks for doing your research". SEAN IS AN AMAZING INTERVIEWER AND IM LEARNING
Love how legitimately happy Luda was when Sean asked him about Ben Stiller. Can tell that moment is a great memory for him.
Bro for real.
luda seems like such a chill dude. soft spoken and articulate
He barely even flinched or sweat either. He was flawless. Always have loved Luda; I’m glad Sean interviewed him.
Hot Ones episodes' comment sections are the greatest of all time. Love yall, man.
Dude for real. The healthiest comment section on youtube. Lol
❤❤
Ludacris is the only Hot Ones guest that I have ever seen that handled the Bomb sauce as if it was nothing. Respect and gangsta AF.
This is one my top 5 episodes. Nothing crazy happened, but a very real and down to earth person that I genuinely enjoy listening to.
I thought it was one of the most boring. It felt forced and pointless.
Luda seems like such a nice guy, and mad charisma. Fun ep.
If you don't count Conan O'Brien's as one of the top 5 episodes ever then you're nuts.
Ditto! The only other interview that I absolutely loved was Paul Rudd!
@@chrisb5243it’s almost like there’s millions of people watching, all with different opinions and comments, and the person that said it last time isn’t the same as the person that said it this time 🤯
Every guest: Da Bomb is awful, it's so hot, why am I eating battery acid? I am going to cry. Ludacris: Woooo :)
Seriously, the only guest to compliment that sauce that I can recall.
He enjoyed the ride for sure! I occasionally have da bomb when I want to feel something
Luda even wanted to take it home.
We yearly have a last dab of Beyond Insanity. It is just that. Beyond Insanity. They must dust these wings.
Conan: drinks half of it
Just hearing luda speak makes me want to listen to his music again, such a good episode.
Listening to Ludacris just talk about anything shows you how incredibly gifted and smart he truly is.
This is a humble, intelligent, personable man. I'm 71, and I truly enjoyed this session. His smile makes me smile 😃
His smile making you smile makes me smile 😃
@@pepito69just like that
💯💪🏿🏆
It was great to hear the thoughtfulness that goes on behind the music
This is one of the worst.
Feel like Luda's the few that speaks so thoughtfully about the chicken's flavor
Why do most of the people on here barely eat the whole wing?
"I put the 'burn' in sideburns"
it his pigment
@@tack5117 self preservation
It's a whole thing about chilies once you get used enough to not really feeling pain anyone that is only then you can really start noticing that peppers have the most amazing aromas
The fact Luda wasn’t asked, but brought up Albuquerque NM for our heat/spice…. Makes me respect his wing game so much more!
Luda is such a good example of decades in the game versus just joining the industry. Love this video so much
Ludacris has had the best "Da Bomb" reaction so far.
Yeah, finally someone who appreciates the flavor of a burning tire covered in acid.
If you never seen Shaqs response , it's a definite tie or close second 😂😂
The girl that acted on Wednesday had an amazing reaction
He took it like a champ
💯🤔 the bomb is nothing compared to being P Diddy bait🤣
I love how Luda said "I was mad I didn't think of this". Always keeping it real and being relatable. Love him.
This is one of my favorite interviews. It's so wholesome. I felt like Sean's eyes were just shining for Luda the whole time. ❤
I think that was the hot sauce getting to him😂
Luda killed it, kept his composure all the while being a thoughtful, intelligent, kind and well-spoken guest. Nicely done!
Luda seems like he's been waiting to answer that "Dynamic Simplicity" question for 30 years
Dude been the same age for almost 30 years. Dude still look exactly the same age as he did in 2000
“How did you get so wealthy??” “Weinstein” “Fast and furious?” “Weinstein” “Rap career?” “Weinstein” “R.Kelly?” “Weinstein” “Oops.”
@@ProtectTheBlack-Wearnestly tho.
I love when Sean wears black and his shirt blends into the background. It’s like his head and arms are floating independently.
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
Sean is Rayman
Zordon vibes
You gotta adjust those factory tv settings my guy 😂
Jesus Christ! No snot running , no tears, no gasping for air. Luda is insane. Here is his crown 👑 for being the G.O.A.T of the show.
I’m impressed with how eloquent Luda is!! I don’t hear any um’s or “like’s” in between, and he has such a warm presence. I never realized I would be such a fan!
Um's and likes HURT me. Physically. And they're getting worse.
Also, Ludacris has always been phenomenal. Welcome to the fold :)
seeing Sean all teary eyed while Luda just has a vein in his head and staying calm is crazy lol
Handling the heat like a pro.
@@StellaArtoisStella marketing guy forgot he was watching at work?
@@scoobertmcruppert2915they’re drinking Stella in the video
Because he took mini bites
Luda’s background as a radio presenter is clear for all to see . His vocal inflections and control is quite good
I agree 💯👍🏼
I've always been a fan of how he enunciates his words when he is on a track... really makes his voice a contributing instrument to add that extra oomph.
The humble mention of Paul was endearing.
Luda is such a genuine person and a cool dude, he's always been among my fav rappers
Luda is so well spoken. I love when Sean has guests that match his level of interview skills.
"He's so well spoken..." take it away Chris Rock...
Yall gotta stop saying black people are well spoken, as if it's out of the ordinary. You wouldn't say that about a white person. If you don't realize what a microaggression that is, you're being willfully ignorant.
yuppp it was a great interview. professional.
Stop saying black people are "well spoken". It is a micro-aggression.
@@Bria_WattsExactly
Luda killed it. I am always one to enjoy watching celebrities all sweating and coughing, but you have to respect the dude's composure during the whole interview.
Always major props to the team behind the scenes that do all the in depth guest research
I will never forget the moment i learned about ludacris! In 3rd grade i was on a car ride with some of my school's basketball team and the Coach/dad of one of the kids played "fantasy" on the cd player. the vibe of the song was like no other rap i had ever heard and i was hooked. been a massive fan ever since and it's so cool to see him on the show!
This is one of the best episodes ever. Luda is just so chill.
Never even broke a sweat..
Is it me because I’m a fan or you can tell Ludacris reallyyyyyyyyy wanted to be here? Dude was excited as little kid at his own birthday party. Great ep
Sean is great about getting the best from his guests. He is on another level with the questions he asks.
He was definitely enjoying it. Dude seems like he’s just happy and living his best life.
Always learn something new about my fave artists due to such excellent interview questions. Thanks y'all.
This was wonderful! Very relaxing and warming. Great interview guys 🥰
I love it when celebrities are just cool down to earth people.
Yes
Me too. But. My dude, it's Luda. It's kinda expected from him. At least to me.
he's not just down to earth, dude is talking about some pretty high level concepts while still making it "dynamically simple", as he says. bro is incredibly smart
They are just people some are stuck up but they just like us just richer
@@natefunk1 I honestly don't know much about him. My general experience with the guy is the Fast and Furious movies. I've heard one or two of his songs before, but I don't have any real background on the guy. So it was nice to see him on the show, and see who he is as a person.
He's so humble for someone who's an absolute legend
A 94 Acura Legend if you will
😂😂😂😂😂 you must have never met the man
What kind of comment like this? Which KZhead rando do you think met ludacris? You didn't meet ludacris.
I just love his authentic reactions, responses, and politeness ❤❤❤
Absolutely superb opening question and response from Luda. Really set the course for a great interview
"He steals Benihana chefs" is the most hilarious delivery and line I've heard in ages
Poaches
@@Gee2583steals*
God what a great show. Thank you for bringing such amazing, real content. I so appreciate getting to know these folks better than any other interview show has ever done.
I literally enjoyed this one SO much, Luda has always been someone I’ve loved but this episode was so so so good. 😭❤️
Bro knew Luda wasn't going to flinch on the hot sauce. Much respect!
Why couldnt he eat a whole wing then?
@@danielpreciado1042well he didnt flinch did he?
These nibbles take away from the shows credibility. 😂
He is hardly biting the wings
@@St63420ok let’s see you try it then
the dynamic between these two really is amazing. with Sean asking such great questions ( as always ) and Luda being so open and honest and genuinely having fun.
That's literally what the show is...
I got to see Ludacris perform live recently at a music festival and I was blown away. It blew my expectations because I'm not a fan of his music but his shows are so live. 🔥🔥🔥
He's very well spoken. I respect him. I appreciate how much comedy he puts into his songs. I've only heard a handful, but he's always stood out.
Man, I (sorta) grew up listening to Luda. What strikes me now is hearing how eloquent he is in interviews, how thoughtful, creative, smart. But seeing his music videos, comedy within, style - I aint surprised. Props Luda. Love from Trinidad, homeboy. ♥
Agree! I definitely took note of how eloquent and intelligent his responses were. Love it.
Luda has always been a well-spoken guy. Every interview I've ever seen him in he is eloquent, composed, well spoken with thoughtful responses.
@@BellaBlkBerry "Y'all mad cuz I'm a thief and got away with words"
Very eloquent. Great interview
Luda has the best diction in Hip hip. You can tell how articulate he is just from listening to his catalog
Love luda. Just so clever with the pen. One of my favorite lines is "I'll clock you. I'll spring forward and you'll fall back." Just so witty with it.
Luda has to be one of the wittiest lyricists in any genre of all time
@@adamseidel9780 Hea very underrated but made tons of money acting. AZ is probably the most underrated mc imo. Luda has bars though . His intriguing on his albums were crazy. I had like that inconegro tape. That's when I first heard him. I be that Ninja name Luda alert alert lol.
And made money in music. Luda was right there in the mix with his record sales. Millions everytime. His first 5 went multi Platinum. Right there with dmx actually sales wise but X I think had 5 number 1s in a row.
This is why i love this show, the sauce trauma/deeply thoughtful questions humanize the guest in a totally unique way.
What an incredibly sweet legend. Awesome interview ❤
Ludacris not even flinching when he tries da bomb is absolutely ...well...... Ludacris.
Not even a sweat, it's the side burns 🤣🤣
@@marfisilva the vein in the side of his head facing the camera popped, that was the only sign he felt something.
He said it’s good
Legend
Luda seems like a chill dude who outworked everyone to success. Loved this interview
Right
Watch the Club Shay Shay Episode with Katt Williams the truth is so much worse.xD
@@Brainman234 It's all about connections in this business, if you're having an ego, people don't like to roll with you as much, so that's the ACTUAL reason Katt never really gained some A-list celebrity traction within the movie industry!! A lot of successful actors are humble individuals!!
And what a pleasant man as well
It’s amazing how even as the format has grown and it’s gotten even more popular with MAJOR stars… it’s still just as good as ever. That guy from Evanston makes Chicagoland proud for sure. Great work Sean.
Its crazy how inspiring he is by being so thoughtful and genuine in his enjoyment of just being here
Never broke a sweat. Really impressive
He nibbled like a little girl😂
Made it seem like a walk in the park,
I'm talkin bout it's super impressive compared to everybody else reaction I'm actually in awe cuz he took it better then the host
6:46 Sean like “yes… i need all of them as guests thank you for reminding me”
@St63420 So did DJ Khalid and he couldn't even finish the 3rd sauce 😂
I like how he calls out all the sauces before eating them like a Street Fighter character screaming out their signature moves
I never listen to Hip-Hop or rap, but this is a great interview. Respect for you Ludacris the human and creator, love
This is what I love about listening to Luda's music again. Hearing it in the aether by complete chance and remembering that i loved listening to his work... Hes an amazing artist and its clear that he has such great vibes.
Can we agree that Luda should just announce each sauce for all seasons going forward 😁
i really like the energy Ludacris brings to the interview, he knows what he is talking about and does it with confidence
I don’t understand it how Sean seems to always bring out the nicenest in each guest
Mannnnn, Ludas chillin~ what an interview, cheers to you both🍻
Luda is a great conversationalist for acknowledging the greatness of the questions and explaining WHY they're so great. VERY few people ever do this. Not to mention that he annihilated those hot sauces with such a chilled demeanor. I saw Shaun suffering a bit on Da Bomb while Luda carried on with his answer like it ain't no thang. I smiled throughout the entire episode 😊
This guy though: His voice describes a decade of life that we all felt like we were capable of anything.
Bro that post 9/11-pre 08 recession was just 🤌🤌🤌
Luda comes off as the most chill and positive guy - happy for him and all his success. He clearly put all the work in.
So articulate, professional, down to Earth, dynamically and simplicity dope ✅
Tyrese stealing Benihana chefs is hilarious🤣🤣
From conan breaking down to luda being mad chill, this was a ride
Luda has always struck me as a truly decent, chill kind of dude. Respect!
I love him & have always been a fan - what an amazing interview❤
This man does not age.
Not a day over ‘02! lol
Luda is so well spoken. You can tell he's an intelligent individual. Pretty sure there's wasn't one "Um" throughout the interview.
Total opposite of Ice Spice. That one was brutal! Sean took that one like a champ.
Top tier communicator.
I was just thinking the same exact thing as you!
@@jorgecotero4393watching an interview like Ice Spice and an interview like Luda and listening to their respective music honestly makes me wonder how on earth some people become successful musicians. There are people out there like Luda who are brilliant, thoughtful, visionary, and pour all of this intelligence into their art while ALSO making something catchy, accessible, and bumping… and I just wonder how people who are so much less get a big name.
@@RoniRicoeven if there was an umm, I’d rather listen to someone who thinks about what they want to say than to someone who talks as if every word was already scripted.
Sean man you’re a AMAZING interviewer! Ludicris is one of my favorite rappers! Loved this!
That’s absolutely wild how he handled da bomb!! This is one of my fav hot ones interviews of all time
I love luda, he handled this so well. One of the best episodes.
Hot Ones is sure making up for Ice Spice.
It was a good episode but I prefer when snot falls out of their face and they scream and cry.
Never thought about early 2000s hip hop like this - Luda's explanantion and love for curation is what we want in a bonus episode, this is fire
Sean always ask THE best questions. He never fails
This was a great interview! Luda seems chill af.
This one made me smile. Luda’s a real smooth, courteous, and intelligent guy, great conversation
Did not expect Luda to handle Da Bomb so flawlessly.
Once again, shout-out to Sean and the crew for one of the best interview shows of all time.
Ludacris’s answer to the intro question was pure magic
He didn't even flinch with Da Bomb! 🤯🤯
first guest to say he actually likes it XD
@@Paul20661 so where is the drink from the bottle as with conan?
LUDA!!🤩 His Side-Burns said, "We Ain't Scurred Of These Wings!"
Industry told him to get those side burns spray painted on the double after kat Williams
@@doctordark3527 😂
Yup, Katt Williams explained the TRUE story of Luda's sideburns. Cuttin em off and shaving his head for the illuminati. The dress will come soon.
@@rockhaze OOOF!!🤭
I just realized that I had never subscribed until today but have been a long time watcher.....I wanted to say that this has to be my Favorite interview yet.....Great questions and questions and informed answers....Great ping , pong....
I love when you put the best part at the front of the video. It makes the video soooooooo much more exciting. It be crazy. 🤷😂
Ludacris is one of my favorite celebrities. He DID NOT disappoint! Love his positivity, compassion, humility, generosity with praise, honesty, and kindness. He’s so nice on the eyes and ears. What a beautiful bonus episode!! Thank you, Sean and team.
I lived in ATL for 20+ years and Luda is a local legend for his class & kindness. I live in NM now hearing the shout out to Albuquerque was so great!
The way luda speaks is so intellectual I love his answers for everything also this doesn’t even feel like a interview I feel like I’m at the cookouts with that one smart family member ❤
I really appreciate the fact that you gave him props on his album intros. He had arguably the best intros of the 2000s on his run from Back for the First Time all the way to Theatre of the Mind. All 6 of those albums had crazy good intros !
Sean: “The wings of death are behind us!” Luda: 🧊
What a cool, down to earth guy, and he rode that lightning like a pro.
Shout out to the music transitions in the show! Matches so perfectly with the vibe of every sauce, every question Also complements the vibe of the guests! Brilliant Sean, Brilliant LuDa, Brilliant show!
Ludacris is such a genuine dude and a great interview. Hopefully there's a part 2
