Steve Buscemi revealed that he would never appear on a popular YouTube talk show. He added that no amount of money or convincing would get him on the show. He made these remarks on Josh Horowitz’s podcast, which he attended to promote his two upcoming films, Wild Horse Nine and Klara and the Sun.
Why Steve Buscemi will never appear on Hot Ones
During a conversation at Happy Sad Confused podcast, Buscemi said that he’s “confused” as to why are people a fan of spicy foods and why do they like keeping their mouth hot.
“Sam Rockwell told me that he and Parker Posey did Hot Ones — that’s something I would never do. I don’t care how much you paid me, how much they said, ‘But it would really support the film,’ no. It not only makes me confused, it makes me angry,” he continued. He later said that he would never appear on the Hot Ones.
Hot Ones is an American talk show hosted by Sean Evans. He invites celebrities and asks them questions as they take on rounds of increasingly spicy chicken wings. The show premiered in 2015 and is currently in its 31st season.
Buscemi appears in Wild Horse Nine, released on November 6 in theaters. Directed by Martin McDonagh, the spy-thriller movie centers on CIA agents Chris and Lee. They embark on a thrilling mission that puts their trust to the test as they head from Santiago to Easter Island in Chile in 1973. The cast includes John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Buscemi, Mariana di Girolamo, Ailín Salas, Tom Waits, and Parker Posey.
He played Capaldi in Klara and the Sun, which was released in theaters on October 23, 2026. The dystopian sci-fi movie follows a robot designed to help people cope with loneliness. However, the robot ends up aiding a heartbroken human family. Apart from Buscemi, the cast members are Jenna Ortega, Amy Adams, Mia Tharia, Aran Murphy, Natasha Lyonne, Rachel House, and Harry Greenwood.
