Keke Palmer turns her sights on Sean Evans after his viral crush confession.
A year after Hot Ones host admitted he had feelings for Palmer, Evans now enters her world as a guest on Keke Palmer podcast on Tuesday, May 26. And judging by the teaser clip, the pair are fully leaning into the chemistry fans have been obsessing over for years.
The campaign begins with Palmer lounging on his podcast couch and saying, “Ugh, I’m thirsty.” But instead of reaching for water, she grabs a bottle of Hot One’s sauce. Right on top, Careless whisper starts playing while another hand reaches for the bottle at the same time and they make contact.
That hand, of course, belongs to Evans.
He then reacts by tucking his non-existent hair behind his ear and sending the flirtatious energy in the room through the roof.
“Ready to spice things up?” read the video’s caption.
Palmer and Evans first crossed paths in 2017 during her original Hot Ones appearance before reuniting again in 2021. But things really took off in 2023 when Evans admitted during an appearance on Chicken shop date that he “had a crush” on Palmer and called her a “very charming” woman.
Palmer later admitted that she loved hearing about it. “Not to say I was surprised or I wasn’t surprised. But when I heard it and people sent it to me, I was like, ‘I know vibes were vibrating,'” she shared People magazine in 2024.
Now, fans finally get a role reversal as Palmer takes over interviewer duties and keeps the long-running flirtation alive.
