The Sean Evans look-alike contest in Washington Square Park has been postponed

Update, March 20: First We Feast and Hot Ones just announced on Instagram that the Sean Evans look-alike contest is postponed because of “an overwhelming response and amount of men in the new york tri-state area looking exactly like sean evans from hot ones. We are deeply sorry to the bald white male community of nyc.” It sounds like they need proper permitting for what promises to be a heavily-attended event, a la Timothée Chalamet’s look-alike contest.

This Friday, March 21, First We Feast—the online destination that co-produces the famous YouTube series Hot Ones—is hosting a look-alike contest in Washington Square Park at 4pm in search of host Sean Evans' long-lost twin.

The event celebrates ten years of the beloved show, created by Evans, which features celebrities being interviewed while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings.

You may have noticed posters advertising the event—which is expected to include prizes, hot sauce and wings—around NYC or heard about it through First We Feast's social media posts, featuring an appearance by Evans himself. Although no official announcement has been made, we anticipate Evans will be there so this might be your only chance to meet him in person.

The posters displayed around town include a QR to RSVP for the event—so definitely scan it if you're planning on attending. 

Given the success of previous look-alike contests, from Dolly Parton to Timothée Chalamet, we expect New Yorkers to flock to this weekend's shenanigans, which will be guaranteed fun and filled with loads of wings. See you there?
