Edward Norton Appears on Hot Ones as Pete Seeger in Last Ditch Effort to Campaign for Oscar
Taking a page out of Timmy C’s book
Many believe actor Kieran Culkin has Best Supporting Actor locked up, but don’t tell that to Edward Norton.
To close the gap, Norton appeared on Hot Ones (an interview show where guests eat spicy hot wings) fully in character as Pete Seeger.
It’s rumored that Norton saw his co-star, Timothée Chalamet, perform on Saturday Night Live in character as Bob Dylan and called his agent to see what could be done.
The last minute Hot Ones appearance was what could be done.
During the show, Norton (as Seeger), made his final pitch for the Oscar during the “last dab” segment of the show.
After making it through all nine wings, Norton (as Seeger) arrived at the shows famous “last dab,” and exclaimed, “Well, gosh, I’m gonna do the whole bottle,” before dumping an entire bottle of Taint Plaster Ass Blaster Hot Sauce (a sauce he brought himself) onto his chicken wing.
“For Oscar,” he said before eating the wing.
Not 30 seconds later Norton shit himself and ended the interview.
The 97th Academy Awards airs on ABC on Sunday, March 2nd.
