Bravo's Culture Awards: Comedians Joke About Being Bought

Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers have returned with the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, airing on Bravo. The comedic duo, who brought their show to broadcast television for the first time last year, aimed for a more confident and enjoyable experience this year. They noted that having survived their initial broadcast, they are better prepared for the show's surprises and musical numbers.

The hosts revealed that nominees are actively campaigning for awards, with Rogers joking that these efforts are successful and that they can be bought, a sentiment Yang agreed with. This year's ceremony, which took place in downtown Los Angeles on May 30, featured a variety of humorous categories, such as "Hilary Duff Award for Millennial Excellence" and "Real Housewife Award for Best Way to Start a Confrontation."

A number of notable personalities from the worlds of SNL and Bravo attended the event, including Will Ferrell, RuPaul, Hannah Einbinder, and Lisa Rinna. Einbinder, nominated for an award, suggested that traditional ceremonies should learn from the Culture Awards by being led by gay people and prioritizing humor.

Joel Kim Booster emphasized the importance of making award shows funny again, noting the rapid-fire joke delivery in the Culture Awards. D'Arcy Carden also commented on the show's fun and less serious approach, contrasting it with traditional award ceremonies. The Las Culturistas Culture Awards airs on Bravo and Peacock.
