Overview
- The pre-recorded ceremony, taped in Los Angeles on May 30, aired June 17 and named winners including Will Ferrell as Titan of Culture and Lisa Kudrow as Lifetime of Culture.
- Hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers ran more than 100 intentionally oddball categories that mix highbrow and lowbrow references and opened the show with a musical ‘Heated Rivalry’ bit.
- The telecast staged multiple musical and viral-ready moments, including Ben Platt’s rendition of “Smelly Cat” and performances by Rachel Zegler, Megan Stalter, and Mandy Moore.
- Viewers watched the two-hour special live via Bravo or through streaming services that carry the network, such as DirecTV, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV, and the show became available on Peacock on demand the day after the broadcast.
- With Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network listed as an executive producer, the televised return highlights the broader trend of podcasts moving into TV and could widen Las Culturistas’ audience and industry influence.
