“Hot Ones” is getting animated with a special guest: iconic Disney character Donald Duck. As he takes on wings and special Disney-themed sauces, the character also faces questions about his history, “DuckTales, “Darkwing Duck” and more.

“To close things out with your beak on fire and duck-sized brain slow-roasting in hot sauce, I want to hit you with some rapid-fire questions about some of your animated cohorts,” “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans says to Donald Duck right after he scarfs down a cauliflower wing, which was dipped in the ultimate hot sauce of his run, “Straight Out of Hades.”

“Are you and Darkwing Duck related?” Evans said, shooting off his inquiries.

“On ‘DuckTales,’ your Uncle Scrooge gets a lot of the limelight. Do you all resent his wealth and power?” Evans continued. But, overcome by the power of the sauce, the normally loquacious (if hard to understand) Donald finds himself unable to answer.

Donald Duck is officially taking YouTube by storm on this week's upcoming episode of Hot Ones.

In an August 21 X post from the official First We Feast account, Donald Duck himself confirmed that his next talk show appearance would be on the popular internet talk show. Hosted by Sean Evans, Hot Ones premiered on 2015 and quickly garnered a cult following of dedicated fans. The series sees Evans interview a celebrity guest over eight courses of increasingly spicy chicken wings dredged in a curated collection of hot sauces. In the years since its debut, Hot Ones has garnered both critical and audience acclaim, as well as numerous major industry nominations including two Daytime Emmys for both the series itself and its host.

Everyone's favorite "Donald" is back! The iconic character Donald Duck returns in a brand new short film made by Disney Animation Studios. This premiered for streaming this past weekend to celebrate the 90th birthday, rather 90th anniversary, of the character created by the original Walt Disney and his animators (specifically Dick Lundy). The extra grumpy duck made his first cartoon appearance on June 9th, 1934 as a supporting character in the short The Wise Little Hen, and most recently appeared in Once Upon a Studio. The new short film is called D.I.Y. Duck, and it features Donald trying to fix a lightbulb in his home, going back-n-forth to the hardware store as more problems arise during his attempts to get the new bulb to work. Disney has also re-released a few remastered classic Donald Duck short films, including Crazy Over Daisy and Out on a Limb, with all of...

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Look who turned 90 years young! If you are looking for the lowdown on this cantankerous and cranky birthday duck, you’ve come to the right place. Donald Duck burst onto the scene June 9, 1934, and his popularity has continued to climb ever since. Donald has a reputation for being a little “ill tempered” from time to time, but we actually think he’s a little misunderstood, so let’s give our #1 duck a little love, with a look at some of the highlights of his illustrious life and career.

What Kind of Duck is Donald?

Donald may have more of an “everyduck” appearance, but he is actually modeled after a specific breed – the American Pekin. This is where Donald gets his bright white plumage, and golden bill and legs.

Disney animator Dick Lundy is credited with developing Donald as a character, and artists Dick Huemer...

Amy Ryan's memorable role as Holly Flax on The Office ironically has many connections to her appearance as Jan on Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. With the latter show releasing a decade after her final appearance as Holly, there are notable references to her time in the workplace comedy. Both of the characters that Ryan portrayed could not be more different from each other. Holly was introduced as the new human resources representative at the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch, and she eventually developed a relationship with Steve Carell's Michael Scott. Omitb's Jan played a professional bassoonist who starts dating Steve Martin's Charles-Haden Savage and has a surprisingly dark past. Yet both Holly and Jan have interesting connections to each other.

The most obvious connection between The Office and Only Murders is that Amy Ryan's character in the latter series is named Jan, the same name...

Six years ago, Laurie Metcalf shocked Emmy prognosticators by earning three acting nominations in the same year for her lead role on comedy “Getting On” and for her guest turns on sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” and drama “Horace and Pete.” This year, legend Martin Short could be on track to do something incredibly similar, appearing on the Emmy acting ballot three times for three different series: Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” and Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” and “Schmigadoon!” He has the chance to not only pull off this impressive feat, but best it by one, too, with an additional bid as a producer.

By far the likeliest of Short’s possible nominations is for his scene-stealing, hilarious performance on “Only Murders in the Building.” He stars as forgotten theatre producer and true crime podcast aficionado Oliver Putnam, who teams up with his neighbors in New...

Jason Bateman, “The Outsider”

Jason Bateman is a ten-time Emmy nominee. For acting, he has two Comedy Lead Actor bids for “Arrested Development” and three Drama Lead Actor bids for “Ozark.” The latter series also netted him two Drama Series nominations and two Drama Directing nominations. He won Drama Directing last year.

Martin Short turned 70 during the pandemic, and if it hadn’t been for the worldwide lockdown he’d probably still be on the road somewhere, doing his two-man vaudeville show with his old friend Steve Martin. It is, he recalls with a lot of affection and no small amount of wonder, nearly 50 years since he began a career in entertainment, and that journey has brought a lot of admirers, primarily for his work in musical theater and comedy.

On the quiet, however, Short is a damn fine dramatic actor, and his brief but indelible guest role in the hit Apple TV+ series The Morning Show recently brought him his 12th Emmy nomination since 1983. Short plays Dick Lundy, charismatic friend of Steve Carell’s Mitch Kessler, and, like Mitch, alleged to be a serial abuser of women. Dick Lundy sees Mitch as a kindred spirit, but Mitch refuses to see anything of himself in Dick,...

Returning to the Emmys as an acting nominee for the first time in 10 years, Martin Short is back in (pun intended) dramatic fashion despite being known as a comedy legend. Short’s nomination for Drama Guest Actor is his first solo nod since he was up for Drama Supporting Actor for his work in “Damages” in 2010. He appears only twice in his stirring turn as a sexual predator director in “The Morning Show,” the first of which is in the nominated episode “Chaos Is the New Cocaine.”

Recently ousted as the longtime and beloved host of the titular morning talk show, Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) meets with friend Dick Lundy (played by Short) to discuss their shared woes as men taken down by the #MeToo movement. In just this one scene of his nominated episode, Short shows the layers of Lundy’s dark past and inhumanity as he unveils them to a shocked Kessler.

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon had wanted to find a project to do together ever since Witherspoon appeared on Friends playing Aniston’s sister in 2000. They found it with The Morning Show, in which the pair play anchors on a chaotic network morning show rocked by sexual harassment scandals. That is what Aniston, now Emmy-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, told me during today’s final panel for Apple TV+ at our livestreamed Contenders Television: The Nominees virtual event.

And then all hell broke loose, and the series became more timely than they could have imagined.

“It was the summer before we were getting ready to go, and then the #MeToo movement happened and we had to incorporate that into the show of course,” Aniston said during the panel, which also included co-stars Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass and Martin Short and EP and Emmy-nominated director Mimi Leder.

It was this day in 1934 that the duck who would become the world's most famous angry bird was born. Albeit, he was already fully grown, but still: in making his first ever animated appearance, Donald Duck began his ascent to stardom.

Donald, in a somewhat different form created by Dick Lundy, appeared in the Silly Symphony short, “The Wise Little Hen.” Life started off on a rough note for Donald, as he faked his way, as VP of the Idle Hours club, into not getting any corn -- and a kick in the butt from Peter Pig. Insult to injury!

Donald's a family man, with his longtime love Daisy (originally name Donna) and nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. Perhaps his highest honor came when his cartoon, "Der Fuehrer's Face," in which he dreams that he's a Nazi, won the 1942 Academy Award for Animated Short film.
