Matt Rogers '12 and Bowen Yang '12 Host Fifth Annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards

On Thursday, June 17th, comedians and co-hosts of the podcast, Las Culturistas, Matt Rogers '12 (BFA, Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing) and Bowen Yang '12 (CAS) televised the fifth annual iteration of their awards show,  The Culture Awards. This event marked the second year in a row that the awards were shown on Bravo.

The Culture Awards are a comedy variety special that celebrates anything and everything in pop culture through humorous bits, musical performances, and special guest appearances. 

In a conversation with the Television academy, Rogers said: "...the thing that motivates us to do that is to pack these opening moments to the gills with pure entertainment. It's a literal song and dance that we're doing after a little volley of jokes — a light tasting menu of topical jokes about the culture in our point of view as queer people, in the way that we specifically engage with this kind of culture, and little jokes about Bravo, little jokes about Peacock, about ourselves. I think we just check all the boxes, and then we go right into a song and dance that ties it all together and is its own comment on the past year."
