Hot Ones viewers regularly tune into YouTube to hear thoughtful questions asked by host Sean Evans and see celebrity guests’ spice level tolerance, but Progressive’s Dr. Rick (played by actor-comedian Bill Glass) offered a twist on the familiar format. Opposite Evans, Dr. Rick sampled hot sauces and offered advice on how first-time homebuyers can avoid “parentamorphosis,” or morphing into their parents.
Episodes of First We Feast’s Hot Ones continue to captivate audiences who wonder how well they’d handle the spiciness of wings if they were in the hot spot, and the format is now going beyond celebrity guests. Recently, Hot Ones shared a first-of-its-kind custom episode featuring Donald Duck, and this branded short ahead of an episode featuring Dr. Rick introduces a mascot to the viral franchise. In doing so, Progressive aims to reach a younger audience.
