The Wednesday Star’s Blunt One-Word Review of J.Lo Sparks Laughter, Shock, and Viral Buzz Online

August 28, 2025: During a recent episode of Hot Ones, actor Luis Guzmán made headlines with a dry, one-word description of his former Out of Sight co-star Jennifer Lopez, sparking shock, laughter, and online buzz.

The One-Word Game Goes Awkward

Appearing alongside his Wednesday co-stars—Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, and Georgie Farmer—Guzmán was challenged to describe past collaborators in a single word. When asked about working with Adam Sandler, he responded “amazing”; for Catherine Zeta-Jones, he said “bellísima”.

But when Jennifer Lopez’s name came up, Guzmán hesitated, shrugged, and said simply: “OK.” His flat response caught everyone off guard: Sunday gasped, Ortega laughed and closed her eyes, and Myers stifled her laughter.

A Subtle Shade That Made Waves

The moment quickly went viral, with viewers praising Guzmán’s deadpan delivery:

“The J.Lo jab had me weak. I wasn’t expecting that blunt of an answer but then again it’s Luis.”
— A viewer on social media

The understated jab—a single word—spoke volumes, and sparked widespread commentary and memes.

The History Behind the Delivery

Guzmán and Lopez previously shared the screen in Steven Soderbergh’s 1998 hit Out of Sight, where Guzmán played escaped prisoner “Chino” and Lopez portrayed federal marshal Karen Sisco.

Where They Stand Today

At the time of the interview:

Luis Guzmán, now 68, is starring as Gomez Addams in Wednesday Season 2.

Jennifer Lopez, now 56, is gearing up for the fall release of Kiss of the Spider Woman, a musical thriller.

No representatives from either party had issued a comment on the incident at the time of publication.

Why This Moment Resonated

Unexpected honesty: The contrast between glowing praise for others and a flat “OK” for Lopez generated both humor and speculation.

Media traction: The clip quickly circulated, showing how spontaneous interviews can outshine scripted promotions.

Celebrity context: Lopez’s recent high-profile life changes—such as her divorce and career ups and downs—add layers to the moment, even if Guzmán’s intentions remain unclear
