‘Hot Ones’ Bought for $82.5M in Major Deal
The popular YouTube interview series "Hot Ones" has been sold for $82.5 million. The show, known for its unique format of interviewing celebrities while they eat increasingly spicy wings, has gained a massive following and become a cultural phenomenon.
Unfortunately, the show has lost much viewership over the past couple of years. Host Sean Evans and First We Feast founder Chris Schonberger, alongside other investors, have purchased the rights to the show from BuzzFeed. The acquisition signals a new era for "Hot Ones," with its creators now holding full control over its direction and future growth.
This move reflects the value of original digital content and its ability to drive significant revenue and brand loyalty. Fans can likely expect new innovations and expansions under the leadership of Evans and Schonberger, as they work to maintain and grow the show's success.
