This year, Christmas is coming early (and we’re not talking about gay porn star Paddy O’Brian in the “Unholy†music video). A filmed version of Matt Rogers’s Christmas comedy special, Have You Heard of Christmas?, will be released on Showtime on December 2. “Ever since I was a young boy, I have wanted to be seasonally ubiquitous,†Rogers said in a statement. “So I am thrilled to finally be joining the ranks of Christmas legends like Mariah Carey and Santa with this special, Matt Rogers: Have You Heard of Christmas, and I look forward to sharing this vulnerable, intimate and ultimately incredibly stupid night.†Rogers is best known for his podcast, Las Culturistas, and his supporting role in the Showtime comedy I Love That for You (which still needs to be renewed, ahem). Filmed at Joe’s Pub, the special will feature guest appearances from Las Cultch co-host and SNL cast member Bowen Yang as well as Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson, the creators of F***ing Identical Twins, the movie version of which is currently being produced (starring Megan Thee Stallion, iconically). So get ready for flash, candor, and a song from the perspective of Whoville’s favorite skank because Matt Rogers is here and he’s saving Christmas. Publicists: Get to work!
Oh, you love Matt Rogers? Oh, you live in the LA area? Well, the man himself is coming to Vulture Festival on November 12 for a night of holiday revelry—so get your tickets now!
