<p>MAYNILA --  Actor-host Luis Manzano said that it was a dream for him to host a game show that is all original.</p><p>In an interview with MJ Felipe for ABS-CBN News&#x27; On Cue, Manzano opened up about his upcoming show &quot;Rainbow Rumble&quot; after he renewed his contract with ABS-CBN on Tuesday.</p><p>Manzano said the upcoming game show is something special for the family and viewers will definitely learn something.</p><p>&quot;Ang dream ko ever since was something like &#x27;GAME  KNB?&#x27; Na-enjoy ko, I was a fan nung si Kris (Aquino) pa lang ang nagho-host. It was my dad who hosted. And I think it&#x27;s about time na ang Pilipinas ay gumawa ng isang show na  tayo naman ang hinahabol na i-franchise,&quot; Manzano said.</p><p>&quot;So eto iba talaga. Plus the format. It &#x27;s not simple na &#x27;Minute To Win&#x27; or mga singing contest na nakikita natin. Ito &#x27;yung talagang guso ko na format na trivia. Naghahanap talaga tayo nito. At gusto ko rin sabihin na itong &#x27;Rainbow Rumble,&#x27; kasi people might get intimidated na iniisip nila na pang-genius kasi may mga game show tayo dati na dapat talaga genius ka. Eto sa &#x27;Rainbow Rumble&#x27; ang trivia natin, yes may difficult questions tayo, may mga tricky questions tayo at may nakakatawang questions. Kung ano ang mapupunta sa iyo, doon papasok ang game of chance o kaya &#x27;yung swerte mo. So babalikan ko lang parang potluck. Potluck pipili ka sa mga palayok. Swerte ka kung ang mapunta sa iyo is 1 plus 1 equals 2. Pero nandoon naman &#x27;yung mga tanong na medyo kailangan may dunong ka para malaman. So more or less ganoon ang &#x27;Rainbow Rumble&#x27; na swertihan kung ano ang tanong na mapunta sa iyo,&quot; Manzano added.</p><p>According to Manzano, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than two decades, <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">&quot;Rainbow Rumble&quot; will be airing soon.</span></p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/7/2/luis-manzano-renews-contract-with-abs-cbn-to-host-new-game-show-1424" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Luis Manzano renews contract with ABS-CBN, to host new game show</a></div><div><strong>&#x27;It&#x27;s Your Lucky Day&#x27;</strong></div><p>In the interview, Manzano also admitted that he is still hoping that the show &quot;It&#x27;s Your Lucky Day&quot; will return. </p><p>&quot;It&#x27;s Your Lucky Day&quot; temporarily replaced &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime&quot; for 12 days in 2023. </p><p>&quot;We&#x27;re all on the same boat na wishing matuloy, pero may mga bagay na kailangang unahin ng ABS-CBN. Lahat kami para kaming ano &#x27;yung nangyari dati sa &#x27;It&#x27;s Showtime&#x27; na parang break in case of emergency. I would like to think na ganoon pa rin ang &#x27;It&#x27;s Your Lucky Day&#x27; family na kung saka-sakali man ay may slot na para sa amin. Kapag sinabi na &#x27;Oy, It&#x27;s Your Lucky Day&#x27; lahat kami gagawa at gagawa ng paraan para matuloy ang show kasi marami ring napasaya ang show na &#x27;yon,&quot; Manzano said.</p><div><strong>Politics: &#x27;Pwede na&#x27;</strong></div><p>In &quot;On Cue,&quot; Manzano also admitted that he might &quot;consider&quot; joining politics.</p><p>&quot;At this point, ready na rin naman ako sakaling tumakbo but knowing ano &#x27;yung mayroon ako ngayon, my priorities, ano ang kailangang gawin kung sakaling bumukas na &#x27;yung pinto na &#x27;yan mas iko-consider ko nang tumakbo. Kasi dati kaya kong magbigay ng sagot na &#x27;hindi pa.&#x27; ... Ngayon it&#x27;s more of pwedeng tingnan natin. Pwede na,&quot; said Manzano.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/05/20/21/luis-manzano-kung-sakaling-tumakbo-ako-iboboto-niyo-ba-ako" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Luis Manzano: ‘Kung sakaling tumakbo ako, iboboto niyo ba ako?’</a></div><p>Manzano is no stranger to politics. Both his parents have experience in public office. His mother, screen icon Vilma Santos, just served as Lipa representative; while his father, actor-host Edu Manzano, was formerly Makati vice mayor.</p><div><br/></div>
