Matt Rogers Hosts Acclaimed Las Culturistas Culture Awards

In 2025, comedian and podcaster Matt Rogers has found tremendous success with his Las Culturistas podcast. Rogers explains that his "function in the world is to make people happier than they were before we interacted," and he has clearly achieved this goal.

The Las Culturistas podcast, co-hosted by Rogers and Bowen Yang, has attracted a star-studded lineup of guests, including Lady Gaga, Cate Blanchett, Chappell Roan, and Sarah Jessica Parker. But the crowning achievement for the duo came in the form of the 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, which were broadcast on Bravo for the first time and are now streaming on Peacock.

The awards show, which Rogers admits started as a "joke on the podcast," was lauded as a comedic triumph by critics and fans. Memorable moments included Jeff Goldblum's chest winning the award for Most Amazing Impact in Film. Despite the pressure of the show's success or failure riding on the two hosts, Rogers says he learned a lot about himself in the process.

As Rogers looks to the future, he emphasizes his unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community, stating, "I want all queer people out there to know that I have their backs and I love them." He encourages the community to not let those who want them to be afraid of being themselves win.
