Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers praise Lisa Rinna’s show-stopping performance

Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers are celebrating Lisa Rinna’s scene-stealing turn at the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, calling her performance one of the most unforgettable highlights of the night.

The co-hosts of the hit podcast and comedy special spoke in an exclusive interview about Rinna’s return to the show, where she modeled and performed as part of the event’s “Outfit of the Year” segment. 

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took on a series of exaggerated fashion personas inspired by pop culture moments, fully embracing the playful and theatrical tone of the awards show.

Yang and Rogers said they were “obsessed” with her commitment, praising her ability to shift between characters and bring a level of dramatic flair that elevated the entire segment. 

According to People, Rogers described her performance style as unexpectedly precise, while Yang compared her energy to classic stage traditions, highlighting how seamlessly she fit into the show’s comedic universe.

Rinna, known for her bold personality and willingness to lean into viral pop culture moments, has become a recurring favorite at the Culture Awards. 

Moreover, her appearance this year drew enthusiastic reactions from the live audience and quickly became one of the most talked-about segments online.

The Las Culturistas Culture Awards, created by Yang and Rogers, continues to grow as a parody awards show that blends celebrity appearances, music, and comedy, celebrating internet culture and entertainment trends with a deliberately over-the-top style.

Furthermore, the 2026 edition featured several high-profile guests and performances, but Yang and Rogers emphasized that Rinna’s willingness to fully commit made her stand out in a night filled with chaotic, star-studded moments.

“She just gets it,” the hosts said, noting that her performance captured exactly the spirit of the show.
