Raised with his sister, Chelsea, Rogers grew up influenced by his father’s love for Jimmy Buffett and his mother’s admiration for Barbra Streisand, shaping his eclectic comedic persona.

At Islip High School, he was a standout student, scoring a perfect 100 on his New York State Regents English exam and 5s on both AP Language and Composition and AP English Literature exams. He was also a prom king and ran a 4:36-mile on the cross-country team at age 15.

Rogers earned a BFA in Dramatic Writing from New York University, where he joined the sketch comedy group Hammerkatz and began studying at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) in 2009. His ethnicity is Caucasian, and his religion is unknown.

Career

Matt Rogers kicked off his career in 2006 with a role in the TV series Mashable, but his comedic foundation was built at UCB, where he performed with teams like CHOIR and CHARACTERS WELCOME. He was named a Comedy Central Comic to Watch in 2016 and a Just For Laughs New Face in 2017.

As artistic director of the musical sketch group Pop Roulette, he led their show Pop Roulette’s Amazing Earth at UCB Chelsea. His early work appeared on platforms like Above Average, Reductress, CollegeHumor, Funny Or Die, and MTV.

Since 2016, Rogers has co-hosted Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang, a podcast praised by Time as one of the “50 Best Podcasts to Listen to Right Now,” featuring guests like Lady Gaga, Will Ferrell, and Mariah Carey. The podcast’s signature “I Don’t Think So, Honey!” segment became a live show staple.

In 2020, he hosted Gayme Show on Quibi with Dave Mizzoni, a comedy quiz show about queer culture, and Haute Dog on HBO Max, a dog-grooming competition. Both showcased his hosting charisma, though Gayme Show ended after Quibi’s closure.

As an actor, Rogers played Darcy Leeds in I Love That for You (2022) on Showtime, appeared in Fire Island (2022), a gay retelling of Pride and Prejudice, and had guest roles in Shrill (2019–2021), Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens (2020–2023), and Search Party (2021).

He voiced Twink in Netflix’s Q-Force (2021) and recurring characters in Our Cartoon President (2018–2020). His 2022 Showtime special Have You Heard of Christmas?—a musical comedy quest to become the “Pop Prince of Christmas”—was developed into a 2023 Capitol Records album, featuring collaborations with Yang, Josh Sharp, and Aaron Jackson.

In 2025, Rogers guest-hosted Today With Jenna & Friends, earning fan calls to replace Hoda Kotb permanently. He continues to perform at UCB and is developing new projects, including writing for The Other Two and No Good Deed.
