Kumail Nanjiani eats wings with a fork and knife on a very sweaty 'Hot Ones'
Watch Next

Kumail Nanjiani went into his episode of Hot Ones prepared. He knows he sweats when he eats spicy food, for example, so he made sure to warn host Sean Evans before the wing-eating began. He also, apparently, has a bad habit of accidentally touching his eyes after handling hot sauce, so he became the first guest to eat his "wings" -- chicken strips, really -- with a fork and knife.

The fork and knife thing is kind of weird. But even the most insufferable wing purists should push through the discomfort and watch the interview -- it's full of great anecdotes about Nanjiani's early days doing standup in Chicago, his relationship with Pakistani cuisine, and the great Silicon Valley dick joke of yore.

And yes, there is a lot of sweating.
