Keke Fires Up Podcast With A Sweet Kiss
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. Toward the end of her appearance, Keke mentioned Sean Evans’ 2023 interview about her.
“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!
What Has Keke Been Up To Lately

Sis is fresh off the release of her album, ‘Just Keke,’ and is still receiving reviews for her performance alongside Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson in Prime Video’s ‘The Pickup.’ Additionally, her next film, ‘Good for Fortune,’ will premiere next month in theaters.
While speaking to Sean, the singer-actress-host revealed that her album cover represents how she’s felt growing up in the entertainment industry. She said the public has always seen her as a product, and admitted to doing the same. Her album cover, which shows her packaged inside a plastic box, is a “metaphor for that.”
“…but also at the end of the day, having this conversation with my audience through the visuals like, ‘I’m just a girl at the end of the day. I’m just a mom. I’m just Keke.”
