The Rock asked if they could used grilled salmon strips instead of chicken wings if he were to film the segment.
Sean told Bloomberg, “We’ve been pitching [The Rock] obviously for years and one time I got a note back that was like, ‘would you be willing to do, instead of wings, grilled salmon strips?’ And in my head I was like, that had to come from his mouth … that’s as close as we’ve gotten. And then it fell through.” The Rock didn’t specify why he wanted salmon vs. chicken wings.
Unfortunately, he still hasn’t appeared on the show…but maybe one day!
Sean recently revealed the 1 celebrity Hot Ones interview moment that he regrets.
