Let's be real - Sean Evans is really the best interviewer in the business. He let's his guests speak, he asks interesting questions and (as shown here) does great research. Love Hot Ones, one of my favorite shows.
Edward Swoope Nardwaur is okay, not my cup of tea but certainly great at what he does.
Nardwuar may not be your cup of tea as a interviewer, but YOU CAN NOT deny that he is the greatest RESEARCHER. Look up his TED Talk.

The best interviewer I've ever watched is Dan Patrick, not in Sean Evans line of business but Dan Patrick's interview skills is second to NONE
Nardwaur is a terrible interviewer. He doesn't care about asking good questions or following up, he's just waiting for them to spit out their answer so he can hit them with the next "question" which is usually him just bringing up some rare factoid. He's good at digging shit up on people but as far as interview skills and dialogue he's awful.
TheActualCanadian your Canadian you have no say in anything
This is just Ethan taking Sean's interviewing Master Class
This 'n That Studio lmao
Yep just what I was thinking
That's what the title says. Ethan is specifically asking how he does his job.
Ethan is being a Jew. They see something good and they say how and they do it.

"The wings, the hot sauce, the black background, and a bald guy"
What a beautiful success story.
I read this exactly as he said it😂😮
me too o.O
A winning recipe, one of the best shows on RUclips and top notch interviewer. Others are as good, none are better
Hes not even kind of bald
One thing I believe separates Sean Evans from every other interviewer is he NEVER talks about himself and keeps the narrative and focus just about his guests.
Yes! He is a great listener.
Except for the occasional "I'm no super hero". Love him
Right! When he does talk about himself its usually to lay a foundation to get the guest to go in a different direction. When brought up his girlfriend's beauty pageant background during his Halle Berry interview, it was great because it revealed a part of Ms Berry that is rarely talked about. It wasn't some guy high fiving himself for having a attractive mate but a clever non sequitur into this female dominant and sometimes toxic level of competition. I've watched pageants for years and had no idea that some competitors where willing to do sabotage others to win. I found that intriguing.
It's a good quality, but "every other"? I can think of plenty of interviewers who never make it about themselves.
It's kinda funny how someone can talk up someone's interviewing skills while constantly interrupting them in their own interview
Ban thought the same thing!!
Their not here to listen their here to talk. Sad
Yeah Ethan is NOT a good interviewer
Thought the same thing
Yes but a podcast is not a platform for classic interviews. It is more of a free flowing style so that it feels like a conversation rather than a list of bullet points. Also because of the high quality Audio and the individualized microphones, their voices do not mix together as if you were sitting across from them. As the listener you only hear completely isolated and compressed voices. This is why many podcasts will have on headphones even if they are feet from each other, unlike these guys who aren't wearing any headphones. It's also just not that bad.
I love how when Sean’s guests compliment his questions, he just gives a quick thank you and moves on when really all that work went into getting those great questions. No doubt he deserves all the success he’s gotten
Those compliments are the highest praise. Most of the people he interviews spend a ridiculous amount of time answering media & interview questions. Hundreds & thousands a day sometimes. To stand out in that crowd is awesome.
From 3:21 to 4:37: Sean gives his philosophy on how to conduct an interview.
Ethan at 4:38: Hmm, interesting. Do you have an interview philosophy?
ahahaha thats hilarious was noticing that too ^^
hahahaha. I noticed that too. I actually thought Ethan was on weed for falling to focus. And then he says he doesn't touch weed. At least he's trying to learn.
Sean’s interview skills are top notch.
Ethan’s, not so much 🤷♂️
Sad how he just waits until they stop talking so he can get on to the next one... doesn't seem he listens to the answers as a whole and just pics up on something to reflect towards the end of their sentence
Ahaha! I came to the comments specifically to see if somebody else picked that up. Amazing
3:35 Sean calling out to 2:10 earlier when he was cut off. Sean was starting to go deeper, but nope already getting forced to the next question. 😁
3:40 Sean’s basically describing Ethan’s interviewing style.
Wow

...Ethan, great moves.
Cs S that's interesting
I love her she’s so sweet.
2:18 Really wish Ethan wouldn't have cut him off. I think he was getting ready to say that he wasn't sure if he could keep up that pace.
I had the same thought. Seems like he was about to say it..
acebasespace This interpretation is unbelievably generous to Ethan. It’s not that deep. Ethan straight up interrupted him because he prioritised his question and what he wanted to know over what Sean was saying in the moment.
Sean is a clever guy that may have stomach problems soon.
@@joannaalvarez9576 Considering most people are not able to do that, I'd say he is pretty clever.
@@joannaalvarez9576 He's definitely clever. His vocabulary is high-level and his musings are on point. He's definitely a smart man.
Joanna Alvarez hi
He may not have much stomach problems. Indians eat spicy food all through their lives and "stomach" trouble isn't one of the problems that's a cause of worry for us.
So I think eating hot sauce for one meal in a week is ok. But yeah, he should take care of himself. He's a great interviewer.
@@joannaalvarez9576 He majored in Journalism.
Sean: "That process has actually gotten more intense, to a point that I don't know if I can.."
Ethan: "Ya, great, hey shut up that thought for a sec though I wanna talk about how I'm trying to be a better interviewer.."

i literally came to the comments looking for this comment
Same reaction and comment about Ethan.
This is so relevant, Jesus
@@kevinjiszler Right? Cut to the video they dropped today where everyone is commenting about how he seems off/different
My expectations of Hot Ones isn't that things ratchet up, but that the quality maintains, and that the editing stays crisp, and that the guests are interesting. I doubt The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson ratcheted up, but it was the consistent quality and delivery of deliverables that put it on top. One of the most important ingredients to the show is Sean. It works because of his attitude, professionalism, preparation, and smooth delivery and deft handling of the guests.
Absolutely agreed. Quality content. We watch because its real. Its real because people actually care about what they put out. And what they put out has been slowly catching fire. And so is Sean's boss status. You're right. People watched Johnny because he just had that skill thing. IMO, Sean's got it. All that having to step everything up noise comes from the "industry". I worry sometimes that Sean and his team put too much pressure on themselves to do more. As a viewer, I'm Chillin. Am I the only one? No expectations. Consistently entertained. If it aint broke, :p ..... you know.
He snorted milk bc Aubrey Plaza did too, he’s committed to making the guests comfortable while deep diving with his questions. All of the respect goes to this dude.
I agree. I don’t want the show to fall into that trap where it thinks it has to be something completely different in five years. As long as it’s hitting all those points we as an audience dig, they will be fine doing the same thing.
The one thing that concerns me is that he'll get too big and only have big stars on. I hope he continues to have Rap stars and other personalities who are not as well-known. People who are really interesting, but that The media engine doesn't push.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing big stars on it, too But it wouldn't be the same show with only big stars.
I was thinking the exact same thing when that came up. I really think this is one of those Hollywood truisms that seeps out and I honestly think they shoot themselves in the foot. There was one of the Spiderman reboots specifically I remember where they just introduced more and more villains at the same time in what ended up being a mess. I think Matrix did the same thing with 2 and 3, trying to upscale the whole thing - especially including Sion as an emotional point clearly introduced a lot of noise.
My dad even made a funny comment about the Pirates of the Caribbean series, saying he only liked the first one "because it was the most realistic"; I laughed at the time, but he's getting at that same tendency. The first pirates movie had some pirates, stole some gold, got cursed. This is a far cry from ships underwater and flipping around a ship to get to the world's end and Gods unfurling a love-story in the middle of some pirate purge while Will is just trying to free his father from Davy Jones' ship and what even was that whole cannibal island scene where Sparrow becomes the god-leader of some remote tribe on an island I don't even remember being important except as an escape from the Kraken curse?
There are complicated movies that are wonderful and it's not impossible to escalate but I kinda wish the industry didn't feel so desperate to do it just for the sake of doing it.
It's funny how Sean talks about how some interviewers are trying to just get their next question out and Ethan is doing just that, really just following his goal of learning as much as possible from Sean but sometimes not really following up on his answers or even letting him finish here and there... It's understandable though)
Tbh, Sean comes across as moving on to the next question at times. Great questions and he’s great at adapting to different guests but literally the one criticism I have of his interviews is that they could stand to be more conversational
ChrisJ Fox it’s just because they gotta get through the wings and each one gets a question or more so he’s gotta keep it moving
Good catch @Jacox, I noticed the same thing.
@@chrisjfox8715 there is editing going on too... they try to keep it interesting.
Yeah thats the most difficult part of interviewing someone. Takes a lot of skill and years of experience to listen and be prepared for the next question at the same time.
It's so weird to see one of the best interviewers being interviewed by one of the worst.
You gotta start somewhere. At least Ethan has never claimed to be the best.
if you're asking one of the best interviewers how to research and interview properly, shut the fuck up and listen. Ethan can't interview because he can't even listen his guests
When he said “fascinating” immediately after Sean’s answer and then launched promptly into his next question I cringed. You could tell dude was nervous... and rightly so, I suppose. Massive pressure to be interviewing The Interviewer. 😅
If Ethan was paying attention he would’ve noticed that the topic Sean wanted to touch back on was contextualizing questions but he wasn’t
When Sean spoke about body language and making good eye contact, I noticed Ethan made a better effort to stop looking at his notes as much.
Honestly thought hot ones was a dumb idea without watching it, I watched one recently. This guy is, I think, the best interviewer out there today, I have watched alot in the last week
Total legend
Same
One thing I’ve noticed about Sean that’s unfortunately kind of rare- if the guest only answers a question halfway or just doesn’t go for it at all, sometimes even a little rudely, he goes with the flow and doesn’t ever lose his cool. Even like news anchors or talk show hosts, sometimes they run out of questions quickly or worry about the guest turning down a question.
Sean Evans is the 🐐
Been saying this for a year or two. The best, truest example of an interviewer or a host. Actually knows his guest and not just handed a few bullet points. Huge things to come for Sean.
Sean cares and he shows it in how thoughtful his questions are
2:19 Sean was about to say something important and Ethan stopped it 🤣
get better
@@uyuyuy99 cringe
@@uyuyuy99 it felt so nice you had to delete it huh?
@@ryukaganzeroful wasn't me who deleted it bud
hes not wrong
2:17 he seemed like he was going to say something deep, I hate how you interrupted him.
Haha was lookin for this..that bummed me out! He really did look like he was about to get into some shit
H3H3 sucks. The dude is like 47 and out of touch
He never circled back on contextualizing his questions! As an interviewer you gotta pick up on that and bring it back around. That's like pro tip number 1.
Can you give an example?
4:40 Ethan just left a lot of change at the table right there
Sean's an awesome guy, fantastic interviewer and interviewee. Glad you had him on
Watched this at 2x speed, super fucking efficient
fucking amazing
This made me realize how slow ethan talks
1.5 hits da sweet spot 😂
For my ear, 2x was great until Hila started talking. Something about her accent didn't work well with speed up timing. Hope its just me.
Wow u are a legend
This interviewer is magical at interrupting. Simply incredible. Sean is explaining how to interview, while being praised, and interrupted. Crazy.
Holy shit. This is way more intricate than I could've ever imagined. Sean and his team deserve every victory for Hot Ones - past, present, and future.
Graham Norton and Sean Evans, best two interviewers in the business, regardless of format or prep, both bring such a unique and comfortable aspect to the table, and its amazing.
Love this guy. Seriously the best interviewer ever.
Truly one of the best interviewers out there without a doubt
*hmm, interesting, hmm, intereting, u-huh-hm, interesting, yea, hm, interesting, yea, interesting, cough, hm, interesting*

*Eli Vigil* EXACTLY
You forgot “Right..”
You forgot really
Interestingly, though I've never before seen this interview with Sean, I would assure him the height of his stature has surely surpassed what he seems to have expected for himself during this time. What he's done is depressingly unobtainable through hard work alone. Sean Evans, what you have done is something that is indeed very special. To be cherished, certainly. Congratulations Sean. You've earned this.
I love Sean Evans but that being said I can’t sit here and watch him get disrespected every 15 seconds into speaking
I see gross jealousy.. Sean is the most respected host.. they are haters for sure.
Sean Evans is probably the best interviewer I’ve ever seen. Rarely does he do an interview where a guest doesn’t comment on the level of research that has been done. He’s one of a kind.

Mhm
Eberhard butters lmao😂
Mmh....that’s cool
Lmao
Hands down the best interviewer of this generation. Intelligent questions and you can tell he’s passionate about it! So much respect!!!!!!!🙌🏾
Watching the podcast on 2x speed - lmao that’s some college kid watching a lecture they missed shit😂😂
So proud of Sean. Built himself UP
"That process has actually gotten more intense, to a point that I don't know if I can.." LET HIM FINISH JESUS
I like Sean trying to subtly tell Ethan to actually pay attention to the interviewee and not just be waiting for the pauses to fill the gaps pointlessly.
4:37 Sean just head an amazing monologue
Ethan: mmh interesting.
Wow, the dedication from him so amazing!
THE 2X JUST MADE MY LIFE
Diego Bosoms Ben Shapiro?
I watch all youtube videos and listen to podcast at 1.5x all the time. Try it.
Start with 1.25x and you will realise the normal speed is so fucking slow.
My media consumption just doubled
This is the mentally ill mindset
How does one do that?
Sean Evans is THE BEST interviewer I’ve ever seen. He always connects to his guests and he always listens to them and bounces off of them instead of interrupting
Sean is such a great person. He’s earned all of his success. It was a great idea in the first place and he just keeps it going.
I would argue to Sean that it doesn't need to continue to ratchet up. The formula that works - works! Seinfeld is still my favorite because over 9 seasons, in essence, it didn't change.
So he uses elbow grease. A weird thing to do when researching a guest but it’s working for him.
I heard it works for all kinds of activities actually.
CezaMVO what is elbow grease? somebody help thx
oscar munguia effort u dumb fuck
Ben Hermon not everybody knows English expressions dude chill out
oscar munguia it means hard work. Rolling up your sleeves and really getting into something with effort. There is no actual grease.
I love Sean lol he’s literally so cool. He can talk to anyone
Sean is an awesome interviewer, backed by top-notch research. I was impressed he read Tyson’s book before the interview too. The guests see the respect he shows them, and it works.
*INTERVIEWING SKILL INCREASED*
What I took away from this video. Play things on 2x speed so you can consume information faster. Brilliant. The second half of this video was played at 2x. lol.
Thank you for this question and answer
YES thank you this is why I knew I loved Sean Evans... he listens to things at 2x and so do I
This interview was so cringy, especially after knowing, watching and listening to how Sean Evans interviews people... it almost seems like they dont really care about what Sean has to say.
Been watching Hot Ones for the past 6 or 7 episodes. Really impressed by the research that goes into it and the little known nuggets Sean unearths in each interview. 💪🏼💯
I was told once by a teacher of mine that a) eye contact is HUGE in conversations, you can’t properly listen to someone if you’re barely looking at them. B) you can always tell the mark of a confident speaker by their hand gestures, and c) the person you’re talking to is always more interested in themselves than they are interested in you. Sean has all of these in spades.
He is the best interviewer out there for real. Nothing better than good old solid research
I relate to the weed thing so much. Every time I try to smoke with people I turn into a paranoid mess. I can maybe sometimes get high if I'm at home alone, but even then there's a chance that I'll start to get uncomfortable.
He makes interviewing into an art
Mr. Evans is so quick and fluid in this episode as an interviewee even while high. Mad respect for him and his team for the pure hard work they do. I can barely put together coherent thoughts when I used to smoke weed. I could not imagine doing this.
it's tough to realize the extent to which somebody will work their butt off, but Sean is someone I have utmost respect for just because of the time commitment and the discipline he has to express on a day-to-day level in order to bring this show out to its audience
amazing show
Sean and Nardwuar are the best interviewers I've seen, They both have thoses questions that have the guest asking how the hell did you know that.
I love this dude #SeanEvans
The research behind Sean’s show is next level
The fact that most of his guests tell him how great his questions and interviews skills are, tells the Sean story!👍
This isn't even an interview its Ethan saying hey give me some tips while constantly interrupting him
2:19 is easily the most offensive interruption I have seen in an interview, like wtf
What I love about Sean is that he plays to the mood of his guests. If they are struggling with the heat he will Match that energy to an extent to stay in the same rapport and feeling of the guest. It’s impeccable body language and intuition along with constant observation
He goes beneath the surface with his interviews, and his kindness shows through in them. Awesome man. I haven't missed one episode of Hot Ones, and glad I haven't because I watch because he's the host, and it's given me insight into some people I wouldn't have probably thought to listen to which is a cool thing.
You should have to pay to watch this, this is some next level advice for interviews
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 agreed!
Nardwaur knows everything
NappyBoyTrillion they should get Nardwuar on the show fr
NARDWUAR ON THE H3 PODCAST
NappyBoyTrillion I have no clue how he fucking does it, he’s like Sean Evans on crack with steroids
they should get nadir on this show... he's even there on the west coast!
He mostly gets in contact with whoever he’s interviewing closest friends and family members
Sean evans, has really good questions a Lot of his guests are suprised that he is Always soo good prepared.
Sean and the guy from BBC 1 radio really are the only interviews I regularly watch
It’s ironic how he says that some interviewers will ask a question and zone out, then just perk up when it’s time to move on to the next question - to which after he gives his answer, they agree and move on to the next question.
Sean Evans interviews Sean Evans on this episode of hot one where we have hot questions and even hotter wing
If we ever have another person in the future who is like Sean Evans in the sense they are a great interviewer then I will consider them blessed
100% Agree on the incredible questions!
who else wants to admit to watching this at 2x?
1.25 is legit for all h3h3 vids
no shame in that. Some people just talk so slow. 2x is a bit too fast for this though, i agree
Drinking game: take a sip when Sean says "like".
Sean... you are a mastermind. Keep doing what you do brother, I'll keep tuning in to your Hot Ones interviews and more, awaiting your guests to say "that's an interesting question!" ... good work.
sean really gets what it means to interview it seems like. i love hearing him talk off the cuff here
I wish I had Sean’s social competence
The way Ethan feels about weed is how I feel about alcohol
It's the way I think about pot. Just a burnout vice.
Sean Evans opened my eyes to people I never thought I’d like or people who I wasn’t a huge fan of and now I at least have a different respect for them as people. Thank you Sean you’re awesome
yo the 2x fir interviews that sean pointed out is so good like thats huge news for podcasts
😂idk why, but I can’t stop watching your eyebrows man.
Hila doesnt provide input unless shes looked at and ethan cuts off too much.
So much respect to this man, he is doing what all journalists should be doing, putting in the time and elbow grease to make the interview as interesting as possible. That's a rare sight these days
Sean’s questions keeps the show moving and interesting., love this show, definitely a favorite!!
Ethan was incredibly rude here. Kept cutting Sean off.
I want Sean to interview himself after this.
Shaun talks about interesting snippets that other interviewers leave on the table and how quick "armchair psychology" doesn't satisfy it... "mm interesting" . no follow-up question, let's talk about weed.. Irony.. :|
Sean
sean is not only extremely hard working but also very good at what he does. he definitely deserves the recognition and fame. i hope hes getting paid too
I was watching the Halle Berry episode. Sean know that on John Wick 3 Halle had Belgian Malinois, not German Shepherds protecting her. He also knew she owned labradoodles. He asked if the training skills on set translated to her own dogs. That's a deep dive and a question that she was eager to answer.
Lol ethan im the exact same way with weed i used to love it but for a few years now it just gives me bad paranoia and its not fun. But i wish i could enjoy it like i see other people do.
skinnybwoy I wish I had a dollar every time someone told me to “try a different strain”
same. people, and even myself seriously thought something was wrong with me because i had horrible times on weed. i couldn't tell if i was talking or thinking, i would space out a lot, and generally i would just feel horrified. My early days with weed were awesome and relaxing as hell, but it quickly became something that would ruin my day. I found out it was because most strains lack a lot of cbd oil, so when i do smoke, I use hemp wraps that are soaked in cbd oil. I always have a good high when i roll with those, but I can never really enjoy bud the same way after the bad times I had with it.
@@2wordname I was actually the exact opposite lol I couldn't handle weed at all when I first started. my eyes would roll in the back of my head and I could barely think without going overboard lol but now it's just normal, I have my specific strains though so that may be why🤷🏽♂️
@@SuperStick24 For some reason a year later I can handle weed a lot better. I think when I had my bad experiences, I just had too much.
"A bald guy" he should give himself some credit. He's the one who told Zuckerberg to rename the facebook to simply facebook. Genius!
fireblade2681 that was Sean Parker...
Sean Parker: not only did he coin facebook he can also eat hot wings. What a guy! I thought was called Justin something but nvm cry me a river.
fireblade2681 This isn’t the same person as the first CEO of Facebook. Sean Parker coined the term Facebook, this is Sean Evans. They are not the same person.
@@adamstrongarm0112 It's a joke because he looks like justin timberlake who played sean parker in the facebook movie.
Noticeable too, is as mentioned by Sean, is the importance of eye contact when speaking to his guests. Along with his research and preparation, he lets the guest open up and be sincere which we all appreciate. Sean is the best in the field of interviewers.
One of,if not the best interviewer ever. Absolute respect to Hot Ones!
