On January 28, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed actors and podcast co-hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers would be releasing their forthcoming book, The Rules of Culture, Volume 1 through Andy's eponymous imprint at the Crown Publishing Group (which is part of Penguin Random House), Andy Cohen Books.
The book is described as "a manifesto on culture and a Guinness World Records Book for queer people and straight girls who 'get it.'"
The book will include one hundred "insightful, hilarious and utterly immutable rules that govern culture in its current, fragmented state."
The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host expressed his excitement for the deal in a statement obtained by the outlet.
"Bowen and Matt have fresh perspectives on every corner of the culture; their energy and humor will create a magnificent book," the dad of two stated.
Matt responded to the exciting news on his Instagram feed. After sharing a screenshot of the headline on Instagram, he wrote, "Cut to us on our typewriters!!!!"
