Mariah Carey Wants to Help Us See the Light

Hear ye, hear ye! It’s the day Matt Rogers has been dreaming of ever since he donned his first honey blonde wig. Mariah Carey will appear on Las Culturistas Wednesday, as the official Most Iconic Figure in Pop Culture Today. Rogers and co-host Bowen Yang have been counting down the Iconic 400, basically who Mrs. Astor would have invited to parties if she 1) slayed and 2) was alive. Honorees thus far have included Survivor’s Jeff Probst, Snoopy, and obviously Martha Whovier. But at the tippy top is Mariah, and she’s accepting the honor in person this Wednesday.

Ahead of the pod, Matt Rogers posted Mariah Carey’s “I Don’t Think So, Honey!” and it a doozy. “I can’t with overhead lighting,” she said. “Why do they do it to us? And I shouldn’t even say ‘us,’ because it’s not us, it’s me. I’m the one who gets the most tortured.”Anyone who’s seen Carey’s episode of Cribs would now this beef with overhead lighting is a longstanding issue. She also pointed out the “abusive” overhead lighting in her LA rental during an interview with the Sunday Times, and gave us all a BTS look at her selfie rig on Instagram back in 2020. And let’s not forget her embrace of the fridge selfie —a technique shared by her, Kylie Jenner, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Death to overhead lighting, long live lamps!
