Matt Rogers of Las Culturistas

About this episode

This week, Tommy is joined by comedian, actor, and cultural commentator Matt Rogers, who has built an unmistakable brand with Bowen Yang through their hit podcast Las Culturistas and their ever-growing list of creative ventures. Matt opens up about the evolution of the show—from its earliest segments to the fan-favorite Las Culturistas Awards—and reveals how the duo is leveling up the ceremony for the coming year, including surprise guests and new categories in the works. He also talks about his many “side quests,” his love of pop-culture, and even shares the never-before-mentioned future of “I Don’t Think So, Honey.”

Plus, Matt reflects on career shifts and the very real experience of unexpectedly soft-launching and then publicly navigating his relationship for the first time. He discusses going Instagram-official, how he and his boyfriend met, and how strange it was seeing his Instagram post go viral.

Matt also discusses his upcoming Christmas tour, hot takes (like the claim that Jaws was the first girlboss), and a few revelations he’s truly “never said before.”
