Vice Ganda is happy and proud to be part of ABS-CBN’s newest morning show Showtime. The show was launched just last October 24 but it has already earned positive feedback and high ratings. “Yes, eto masaya, Showtime everyday. Salamat at karagdagang blessing na lang ‘yung high ratings kasi the show itself is already a blessing kaya ‘yung ratings extra na lang ‘yun. Kung baga bonus na lang so nakakataba ng puso kasi hindi nasasayang yung mga pagod naming lahat eh. Ang dadaming naghihirapdito from the staff and yung buong unit, mga host, mga performers ,talagang collaborative effort and hindi naman kami nagfa-fail.”

The twist with Showtime is that aside from the contestants, the judges also get evicted every week based on text votes. Vice Ganda is the only judge who can’t be evicted since he is a regular host of the show.

Since Showtime is a morning show, Vice Ganda shares that he has been making a lot of adjustments when it comes to his sleeping habits. “Everyday ang aga kasi kami nagsa-start, eh so kailangan gumising ng maaga hindi pwedeng magpuyat. Pero ang saya ng show kaya kahit maaga hindi ako nangangarag. I’m always looking forward sa pagpunta sa ABS para sa show.” He also enjoys his working relationship with co-hosts Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, and Kuya Kim Atienza. “Ang saya kahit one week pa lang kami pero parang antagal-tagal na ng show. After ng live namin, bonding pa at kami hindi pa kami umuuwi. Si Vhong laging nagtre-treat ng lunch.”

Vice Ganda hopes the show can showcase talents for a very long time. “Feeling ko magtatagal talaga ‘yung show kasi maganda ‘yung feel ng show. I’m looking forward sa mga susunod na performers kasi shino-showcase namin dito ‘yung mga kung ano lang kayang gawin ng mga Pilipino para maka-entertain. Sobrang innovative ng mga sumasali, sobrang creative nilang lahat…  It’s all for the purpose of entertaining the audience.”
