From prom king to writer, actor, singer, podcaster, TV host, Matt Rogers has been killing it! Seen alongside Vanessa Bayer, Molly Shannon, and Jenifer Lewis, in I Love That For You, he works that fine line between gay stereotype and modern-day representation. Also, this summer you can see him on Hulu’s gay take on Pride & Prejudice – Fire Island – with Margaret Cho and Bowen Yang. He is a co-host on the hugely popular podcast, Las Culturistas, also with his buddy SNL player Bowen Yang, that has been named as a Top – tee hee I said top – podcast by Esquire, Vulture, Time Out New York, and more.
He previously served as a staff writer on Comedy Central’s The Other Two and the Netflix series Q Force, where he also voiced one of the main characters. With more projects on the way, he is our July GED Coverboy and he’s came to spill the tea.
