Get Ready for the Las Culturistas Culture Awards: A Celebration of Pop Culture
Mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable night of laughter and celebration! The Las Culturistas Culture Awards, hosted by the dynamic duo Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, are set to make their television debut on Tuesday, August 5, airing on Bravo and streaming the following day on Peacock. This highly anticipated event promises to be a riotous celebration of pop culture’s most iconic and outrageous moments.
A Cultural Phenomenon Takes the Stage
Born from the beloved podcast Las Culturistas, which has garnered a devoted following since its inception in 2016, the awards show has evolved into a full-blown cultural event. Now in its fourth year, the ceremony will be taped live in Los Angeles on July 17, produced by Lionsgate Alternative Television. Fans can expect over 100 gloriously absurd and oddly specific categories, live musical performances, and a star-studded lineup of presenters and guests. While the complete list of categories remains under wraps, the show is sure to deliver the witty chaos that has made the podcast a cult favorite.
Big Names, Big Laughs, Big Culture
In a playful statement, Yang and Rogers humorously addressed the lofty definition of culture, saying, “The word ‘culture’ is defined as ‘the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.’ We are so thrilled to eliminate that whole ‘intellectual’ part entirely with the LCCAs airing on Bravo and Peacock this August.” Their self-aware humor captures the essence of the awards show, which aims to celebrate the delightful absurdities of pop culture.
Imagine an Oscar-winning actress and a Real Housewife coming together to present a very heavy award to none other than Oprah—if they can book her, of course. The playful banter and unexpected pairings are what make this awards show a must-watch event.
From Podcast to Pop Culture Powerhouse
Las Culturistas has redefined how queer voices celebrate pop culture, featuring a plethora of high-profile guests, including Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Ariana Grande. The podcast is known for its rapid-fire segments, unfiltered opinions, and endless quotables, making it a vibrant platform for discussing everything from the Tony Awards to the latest TikTok trends.
NBCUniversal’s EVP of live events and specials, Jen Neal, praised the awards show as “vibrant and whimsical,” highlighting the undeniable chemistry and playful humor of Yang and Rogers. Their love for both the big and small moments in pop culture has shaped this spirited event, redefining what it means to celebrate culture.
What to Expect
As the awards night approaches, anticipation is building among fans eager to see how Yang and Rogers will bring their unique brand of humor and insight to the television screen. The Las Culturistas Culture Awards promise to be a night filled with laughter, unexpected surprises, and a celebration of the quirks that make pop culture so delightful.
