2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards Hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers to Air on Bravo and Peacock in June
The legendary and uniquely iconic Las Culturistas Culture Awards will make a triumphant return this year, simulcasting on Bravo and Peacock on Wednesday, June 17.
Born from the wildly popular Las Culturistas podcast from Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, who will once again host the festivities, the fifth annual comedy variety special celebrates culture’s most iconic and consequential moments. With more than 100 unique award categories, live musical performances, and unexpected celebrity encounters, this show truly brings the culture’s most crucial moments to life.
“We are beside ourselves with joy, excitement and more that The Culture Awards will be back on Bravo and Peacock in 2026!” said Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. “This is officially a front runner 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.”
Last year’s categories range from legitimate (“Album of the Year,” “Artist of the Millenium,” “Tina Turner Legend Award”) to ridiculous (“Best Gay Guy – Somewhere in Between Fire Island Pines bartender,” “Casamigos Margaritas Award for Things to Enjoy Anytime, Anywhere,” “We Could See Boop! Award for Best Thing to See”) with winners like Allison Janney for Lifetime of Culture and Jeff Goldblum’s chest in Jurassic Park for Most Amazing Impact in Film and the viral performance from Ben Platt covering Addison Rae’s hit “Diet Pepsi.” This year, Dunkin’, Marshalls, and M&M’s will be serving up some of this season’s can’t miss moments.
The show will tape Saturday, May 30 in Los Angeles at The United Theater on Broadway. Promoted by Live Nation, tickets will be available beginning with presales on Friday, April 24, ahead of the general on-sale Monday, April 27 at 10:00am local time.
