Bowen Yang

I think the real game changer was Taylor Swift.

sent in two videos to accept culture awards.

And just hearing her say the words in the video, hi Bowen, hi Matt.

I was like, okay, maybe this is something that people would actually want to play with us on.

And that's proven to be true.

I mean...

the cast that we assembled is kind of like an Avengers of celebrities relevant to really anyone because there's something for everyone in the show.

It's literally what we try to do is just always make it so that you're just surprised that you never saw the next category coming.

And I think that what Bowen and I try to do is just make each other laugh.

And if we're laughing, like one of our categories this year is most triggered, activated, or dysregulated I was this year award.

And it's just like five times that we were in consternation.

This year we have the Mamma Mia 2 award for here we go again.

Just something that's happening again.

You'd be a relevant nominee there.

But then we have like best lunch and best breakfast.

And then best new artist, best album of the year, record of the year.

It's really grown to be what I think we always thought it could be, which is just a full-blown satirization of an award show.

Because I think that Bowen and I share both being really, what's funny, on our podcast we asked, what was the culture that made you say culture was for you?

And we both share the Oscars as one of those things.

It was 1997, 1998, the year that Titanic was huge.
