Joe Santagato Hosts New Hot Ones Game Night Spinoff
Joe Santagato of The Basement Yard podcast begins hosting the new Hot Ones: Game Night show with executive producer Greg Dybec.
Santagato Joins First We Feast
First We Feast approached Santagato and his business partner Greg Dybec to create a new series. They accepted the meeting quickly after learning about the project plans. The creators wanted to build the show around Santagato specifically. He will host and executive produce this Hot Ones spin-off format now.
Conversational Game Night Format
The new series features a hot sauce-fueled board game with celebrity guests. Santagato aims for a loose vibe rather than a strict interview style. He believes playing a game helps reveal different sides of celebrities personalities. Guests can watch the show before appearing to understand the format better.
Interview Approach Differences
Santagato admits he lacks experience interviewing people compared to Sean Evans. His team does research but avoids asking identical questions every time. The goal is to make conversations feel like hanging out with friends. This method allows guests to show their true personalities without pressure.
