Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers tease the 5th Annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards

In a statement in late 2025, when the 5th Annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards was confirmed during BravoCon 2025 weekend, Matt and Bowen shared their excitement in a statement at the time: “We are beside ourselves with joy, excitement, and more that The Culture Awards will be back on Bravo and Peacock in 2026! This is officially a frontrunner in the category of Best Decision Ever Made, though it faces stiff competition from ‘Meryl Streep decides to try acting’ and ‘dumping that loser!!!’ We’ll see you soon! No Addison Rae song is safe.”
