Las Culturistas Culture Awards Return to Bravo and Peacock Tonight

Hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers retained creative control to translate their queer-rooted podcast into a two-hour satirical awards special.

Overview

  • The fifth annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards will air Wednesday, June 17 at 9 p.m. ET as a two-hour simulcast on Bravo and Peacock with the full special available to stream on Peacock the following day.
  • The ceremony was taped May 30 at The United Theater on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles rather than broadcast live.
  • Yang and Rogers curated hundreds of purposely oddball categories such as “Hilary Duff Award for Millennial Excellence” and “Best Vibe, Hands Down” to lampoon and celebrate pop culture.
  • The taped show features a star-studded roster of presenters and performers, includes musical numbers, and is executive produced in part by Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network.
  • The broadcast marks another step in the podcast’s move from New York comedy scene to mainstream TV and highlights the hosts’ insistence on creative freedom and queer community representation in a larger media landscape.
