Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers kicked off Bravo’s fifth annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards by explaining the event’s mix of television and geopolitical drama. The comedians wore matching hockey jerseys before removing them to reveal tuxedos. Rogers described the awards as a queer celebration honoring actresses, lady musicians, and Will Ferrell, who executive produces their podcast and received the Titan of Culture prize. Yang stated there is no high or low culture at the event, noting that both Amal Clooney and “A Fart After Eating a Cucumber” are nominated. Rogers offered a summary of Summer House drama for non-Bravo viewers and told Bravo watchers, “Our country is at war.” The show included Rules of Culture such as “War is Bravo for men” and “Culture is the sum of the values, customs, and artifacts that we ignore to watch Love Island.” This is the fifth Culture Awards but only the second year it has been televised, with guests including Ferrell, Meg Stalter, Ben Platt, and Mandy Moore.
