The Top 10 Moments from Patti LuPone's "Hot Ones"

Her appearance on the show should be studied by scientists.

Tuesday saw one of the most historic and consequential moments in our nation’s history as two titans faced off in a historic battle. I’m of course talking about Patti LuPone and Aubrey Plaza, who were featured on a special edition of Hot Ones dubbed Hot Ones Versus.

I had the pleasure of dining with Patti on the eve of the episode’s drop at a fabulous dinner hosted by Thom Browne. According to GQ:

“This room was convivial and lively. Broadway legend Patti LuPone had [Cole] Escola, Christine Baranski, King Princess, and Evan Ross Katz roaring with laughter.”

But not even Patti herself teasing the episode to me could have prepared me for what unfolded. Below, I’m counting down the 10 most seismic moments from the episode.
