Las Culturistas Culture Awards

Matt Roush says...

What would be your pick for “Borders Award for Store That Should Come Back?” If you have an opinion on such pressing matters, this might be the awards show for you. Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang and comedian Matt Rogers, co-hosts of the pop-culture “Las Culturistas” podcast, bring their campy version of an anything-goes awards show to TV for the first time. Honorary tributes go to Yang’s SNL colleague Kenan Thompson (the Titan of Culture) and Emmy and Oscar winner Allison Janney (the Lifetime of Culture), who are obviously deserving. But Yang and Rogers deserve kudos of their own for coming up with categories like “Best Title for the Next Bridget Jones,” “Moon Award for Shining Brightly” and “Filet Mignon Award for Best Beef” (with contenders including Miss Piggy defending herself using karate). In this ceremony, maybe it is an honor just to be nominated.
