The 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, celebrated the best in pop culture.
It was a jam-packed two-hour telecast of the award ceremony in its second year on Bravo.
Yang and Rogers started off the night with a nod to Heated Rivalry, breaking out into song in their hockey gear. Hunting Wives stars Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman also joined the duo to sing Tatu’s “All the Things She Said,” which was needle dropped in the Canadian series.
In their opening monologue, Yang and Rogers mentioned the Summer House scandal, which rocked the Bravoverse. Later that night, Ciara Miller won the Allison Williams Cool Girl Award and delivered a speech that resonated with fans.
“Thank you so much. If by ‘cool’ you mean, ‘Utterly disappointed by everybody around me,’ yes, I am so f**king cool,” she said. “Obviously, this year has been a little rough, but you know what they say – the best revenge is winning the Allison Williams Cool Girl Award.”
She added, “And booking Love Island USA. And being in Shaboozey’s music video. And also being a registered nurse. And a model. So I’m going to put this in the bathroom of my new house.”
Will Ferrell was honored with the Titan of Culture award and gave audiences advice to “be proud of yourself,” adding, “I think we should all celebrate our pride.”
“I have pride about being an actor and a filmmaker, but I also have pride about being a husband to a wife,” the SNL alum said. “I guess what I’m saying is, I’m proud to be straight. God, it feels good to finally say that.”
Ferrell continued his funny bit, saying, “The second, more important thing after pride is to be happy, be joyful, be gay. Have gay pride! Starting this month, I hereby declare June — Pride Month!”
Lisa Kudrow received the Lifetime of Culture honor, with Ben Platt taking the stage for a rendition of “Smelly Cat,” the song Kudrow’s Phoebe Buffay sang on Friends.
“Thank you so much. Winning this Lifetime Culture award is everything to me,” Kudrow said after receiving her trophy from her The Comeback co-star Malin Akerman. “I know what got me here tonight, it’s a career of meticulous planning to impress Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.”
Kudrow joked that it was Romy & Michele that “was going to be enough” to impress Rogers and Yang “when they were in grade school.”
“When I auditioned for Friends in 1994, I thought, ‘This is the show I should do cause you know who’s going to love it? Four-year-old Matt and not-yet-born Bown!’ Kudrow said, eliciting laughs from the audience. “All culminating in, not a coincidence, the third season of The Comeback. I knew Matt and Bowen would have to give me this award this year. So, thank you, gentleman, for playing right into my hands. And a bigger thanks to me, Lisa, for having my priorities straight.”
