Complex famous web show, Hot Ones is coming to Malaysia

 iflix, Southeast Asia’s leading entertainment service, is thrilled to confirm that Malaysia’s Reformasi icon, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim, will be the featured  guest on the country’s premiere of Hot Ones, the one-on-one interview show with a twist, on 9 May, 2019.

The format made famous by First We Feast sees both host and guest eat increasingly spicier chicken wings throughout the interview. The catch? In iflix’s version, guests will feast on a uniquely Malaysian specialty – satay – where each inferno-inducing bite is followed by a no-holds-barred question solicited directly from Malaysians on social media, to deliver the most raw, honest and hilarious reactions.

Following in the footsteps of more than 100 international A-list celebrities and athletes including Gordon Ramsay, Kevin Hart, Natalie Portman and Shaquille O’Neal, the prolific political figure widely tipped to be the future Prime Minister, will bravely take on the hot questions, and even hotter satay.

Malaysian-German film actress, singer, and environmental activist, Maya Karin, will host the highly-anticipated interview. Maya Karin is one of the country’s most established entertainers whose movies and shows, including No Problem, Sejoli, and Caraoke Drift, are all available on iflix.

“We have an unprecedented opportunity to create content on topics that interest and resonates deeply with Malaysia’s youth culture. We know this, because we’re putting the power in their hands to candidly confront topics with a Malaysian political heavyweight and an enigma of a character like DS Anwar Ibrahim.”

Mark Francis, iflix Global Director of Original Programming
