I think you should keep it.

Hey, what's going on?

Everybody.

For first we feast on Shaun Evans and you're watching hot ones.

It's the show with hot questions, even hotter wings.

And today I'm joined by the patron saint of hot ones, Alexa Chung.

Camera one Camera two.

You know where is one of the fashion world's power players from her books, TV shows and self named clothing line.

But how does she handle are scorching hot chicken wings?

We'll find out today.

Alexa.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me before we start.

If you allow me to gush for a second, sure.

Without Alexa Chung, there would be no hop.

What?

Yes, so our creator, producer Chris Schoenberger, over there.

I know it's a big day for him.

He's wearing his nice shirt.

Oh, that's great.

I'm wearing my casual smoke dress from the 18 hundreds.

He was a big fan of your off beat pop world interviews, and even the name Hot Ones is kind of inspired big ones.

And then you've been a white whale of ours since we started.

The show took us two years to get you in the seat at the risk of just emptying a full clip into my foot before the interview even starts.

Have you ever heard of this thing?

I have fire Bianca.

Who's my publicist?

If that sounds, Wanke apologized.

Something's just gonna have them on Dhe, she said.

There was this thing going on and it was really cool and funny on loosely based on this situation that used to do on television in Britain.

Justus, we did with your countrymen Russell Brand and Ricky Gervase.

We're doing vegan nuggets today.

Alexis.

You ready?

Get going.

I am this.

Do this going away.

Have you got your little napkin that?

I suppose we can't do that cause of Mike's.

I'll put it here.

Fine, Joe.

Fine.

So I want to start by taking it back to channel for naturally with Pop World.

Because that show, much like this show, seemed to be designed toe knock them out of their celebrity media training.

Yes, you know, when that's the conceit, it can either go really good.

You can either catch that track or it can go flying off the rails.

Yeah, we played a game called scraping the barrel with Amy Winehouse or I.

P, who is obviously a legendary icon.

And I absolutely loved her at the time.

And lovers still, but I suppose way were probably complicity in part for downfall, which was to mock someone that's like, on their ass, essentially.

So I really regret playing, scraping that we were like, What will she do to do this?

We'll get to scrape a barrel.

She literally had a pint of whiskey behind the thing, but anyway, she was great.

Sorry.

I should say she really funny.

I remember this really witty, like, just on it.

A good one would be was his Navy things and I would do in thing meatloaf.

He was great.

I asked him for some money and he gave me someone that I actually kept.

It was like a New York rich.

Could you lend me a tenor?

And he's like, Yeah, And then throughout the interview, wise ass for another tenner.

And he just kept giving me money.

And then you forgot to get it back.

And I was like, like, flush at the pub later, Like me, Love gave me some cash.

Um, most days.

How far did he believes Begin.

I've seen someone crying.

Kara.

Kara, she cry?

Uh, yeah, she had a hard time, but she made it through.

Okay, so you lived a pretty transatlantic lifestyle since you moved to New York in 2009.

And the Alexa Chung Effect seems to be equally strong in London in New York, but not exactly the same.

So is someone who has a foot in both worlds, but I want to do is settled some age old debates saw give you a category and you can tell me which city reigns supreme.

Does that sound?

Yeah.

Perfect public transportation.

E both bad on the New York subway is great.

But then you wait on the platform 12 minutes and they don't really tell you on one's coming along in England.

Least you know where you stand.

It's like, one minute away, two seconds away.

Going to places that have funny names such as Cock Foster's.

Where is the better style?

Ow!

England.

Sorry.

I think there's a room for a reverence on dhe quirkiness in Britain, or it's expected and celebrated when people are eccentric.

This is going back from, like, you know, fucking King George or something people like it when you're a bit weird, whereas in America there's safety in uniformity.

It's still interesting over here, but it may be a bit slicker, whereas you get fewer looks for dressing like a freak when you're walking around in London.

Food America hands down or New York specifically in England, it's like Shepherd's pie.

And, like, really old timey things, they're all the same foods.

It's just potato based beige stuff on a plate.

Where are the prep locations?

Better London for now.

Allison, have you been to English?

Brett?

Yes, I have English press.

So much false period American press.

But what's up with the dining built in price?

You know, like when I'm at the front, they charge me Maur.

Tonto, Eat.

It is a privilege, my friend.

What?

You want to stand outside?

Walking along with it, going down your chin and you want to sit at the table?

You're gonna pay some more money for that.

But if I go to Brett downstairs and I want to eat in, they don't bake in a cost.

But maybe they're putting the cost somewhere else.

Maybe they're charging you for some extra mayonnaise or something.

So this next one is the secret art bark.

It's out of Portland.

You can tell because they're all works.

Kind of better.

Like they've had a bit more We'd like.

They're like, you know, be cool.

He should have his nose like is in the bottle.

Yeah, at school.

It's crystal Louisiana.

All uptight.

We're on time.

Me.

Okay, fun.

So you talked about already?

You jumped the pond in 2009?

Tau host MTV s.

It's on with Alexa Chung.

Yes.

See, now I could see it coming when they said they were gonna call it that I was like, Don't call it that because there's an obvious pun that's gonna happen when this is inevitably canceled, which is subsequently Waas.

I got fired, and then it was it was off with Alexis.

I was like by friends and everyone I love family, et cetera.

I'm going to America to make it.

And then I got here.

I had no friends.

I literally not one friend.

They rebuilt this Brooklyn apartment to represent mine, which didn't say on.

They wanted me to talk about what I was doing every day.

But I know what I'm doing every day is receiving the script.

It MBM learning it in bed, getting up at six, coming back here and having a nervy B on.

The other thing was, I refused to buy a television, which was a big bone of contention.

So I never really knew who was all like there was There would be interviewing, like, 16 and pregnant people.

Or, like Bradley Cooper before Bradley people was Bradley Cooper.

You know who is this guy?

And they were like, he's on a thing called the hangover, and I'd like to sound terrible.

Okay, Bradley, you know, So there was a lot of that.

Unsurprisingly, they decided tow, curtail the action.

Scotch bonnet.

Have you ever shit yourself?

Just saying here so far, it goes right through me.

The other thing was on my MTV show.

We used to be Barone is a recurring guest because he wasn't like a big deal.

You know, you had heavy hitters left and right.

Yeah, entire bags.

Kim Kardashian.

Yeah, I guess they weren't really like, Well, Bieber was on the verge of, you know, tilting into being wasted.

We used to call him hug Boy, because whenever it's the same you used to give me a side heart.

Come with us, kid.

That's crazy.

And then years later is interviewing him on the Golden Globes.

Red carpet was doing.

That thing went terribly on dhe.

He was being too cool for me.

Excuse me, homeboy.

You're being a little too cool for May.

We used to be, but easy.

And, you know I'm sorry.

Yeah, that was funny.

I don't want to tell this.

Is this edited or is it just wrong?

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is gonna cut into a nice little out.

22 minute up.

B.

Can I tell the Golden Globes story to just really clear up once and for all?

I think you should So hosted the Golden Globes.

Red carpet was after my MTV show was no more.

And I was just, like, literally this.

At my age, it was like we've got a job for you.

They want you to host the Golden Globes.

Red carpet on a live red carpet.

Situation is kind of anyone's worst nightmare.

They'll be like, Okay.

Got Angeline Jolie.

Angelina Jolie.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry, Angelina.

And you just feel like a piece of shit.

They don't want to talk to you.

You're like you're literally like I'm a piece of shit.

It's awful.

And then, you know, in life TV, you often have to fill to make up the minutes.

I hear them panicking about what they're gonna do and they decide.

All right, Carson.

Throw it to Alexa.

Alexa, we're gonna run down with some idiot boards, which is like the board with words written on the light.

Speak about the pink dress and you're like a pink dress.

So I'm live.

I'm talking.

I see this flash card.

It says speak about Olivia Wilde's dress.

I'm like Olivia Wilde, another person that really beautiful tonight.

There she wasin a gorgeous gown.

Huge skirt.

So large, in fact, you could probably smuggle three humans in under that thing I said, humans, they heard Cubans cut my feet.

They're like, overto over to Carson.

I was like, Wait, what?

They're like mission d miking me.

No one really said by It was like a super weird.

They let me do the salute goodbye to the floating camera and then everyone sort of like just like I was like, Wait, what if I said it also had arrived there in like a chauffeur driven car.

And on the way back, my friend Tennessee pick me up in a Volvo like a tree.

She was like Boop boop!

Get in.

I was like, I don't know what's happened.

It's really weird, like what you're wearing, like a wave looking Chanel gown like, but I'm real with and in the paper the next day they were like, Who was that girl hosting that thing?

Firstly, it was really weird.

Two, she said.

You could smuggle Cubans into the, but he didn't say and basically got, like, blacklisted from any live hosting gig.

You may join souls.

Yes, we did.

How much does it retail for?

It retails for $12 at Heat.

N'est.

I thank you for the thank you for the tie in.

I appreciate it.

I've subsequently made a career out of doing very subtle branding opportunities.

All right, So, Alexis, we have recurring segment on her show called Explain That Grammar.

Do a deep dive on our guest Instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context.

So what I'll do is I'll bust out the laptop, I'll show you the picture, and then you just tell me the bigger story.
