Donald Duck Appears on ‘Hot Ones’

In celebration of 90 years of Donald Duck, one of the internet’s hottest celebrity interview shows, “Hot Ones,” has released a custom episode with special guest, Donald Duck. Put up to the challenge by Daisy Duck and with support from Mickey Mouse, in this episode, Donald is set to prove he can take on the heat of a special, curated set of Disney hot sauces over cauliflower wings as host Sean Evans dives into a series of questions for the famous duck with a heart of gold. This episode highlights Donald’s history while also showing why he’s famously known to be temperamental.  

“Mickey Mouse and his friends, including Donald Duck, have always been a part of popular culture, so it only made sense that Donald and Mickey appear on one of the most recognized internet shows with celebrity guests,” says Tim Pennoyer, director of brand marketing, The Walt Disney Company.  

Animation for Donald Duck on this custom episode of “Hot Ones” was done by the Walt Disney Animation Studios team, led by legendary animator, Eric Goldberg, best known for animating Genie in Disney’s “Aladdin” (1992) and directing Disney’s “Pocahontas” (1995). Tony Anselmo voiced Donald Duck and Bret Iwan voiced Mickey Mouse for this special appearance on “Hot Ones.”
