The new episode of Keke Palmer on ‘Hot Ones’ dropped on Monday (September 15). For those unfamiliar with the show, celebrities usually stop by to answer burning questions about their lives and careers while trying to make it through rounds of eating wings covered in spicy hot sauce.

“One more thing I’d like to say Sean because I saw an interview where you said like I was your favorite guest, all this really sweet stuff. I know we just had some wings, but I thought that maybe we could just have a quick smooch to see if there’s a spark.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Hot Ones’ host immediately started smiling and laughing as Keke explained. But he wasted no time accepting the offer, saying, “Let’s do it.” Then, they both got up, met in the middle, and kissed on the lips for a brief second before pulling away. After the smooch, Sean joked that their kiss will be part of his flashback memories when he’s dying. He then called her “amazing” and said he loved her before they hugged and she returned the compliment. See the sweet interaction below!
