'It’s Showtime' to replace 'Happy, Yipee, Yehey'
It’s no longer “Showtime” but “It’s Showtime.”
ABS-CBN has announced that the former will transform into a noontime show to be called “It’s Showtime,” which will start airing Monday, Feb. 6, in place of the defunct “Happy Yipee Yehey.”
“Showtime” went off-air last g Monday, January 30, as its timeslot was occupied by Kapamilya Blockbuster and the new teleserye “Mundo Man ay Magunaw.”
“After two years of being a morning kapamilya favorite, "It's Showtime" will be ABS-CBN's newest noontime program effective Monday, February 6, 2012,” Head of Corporate Communication Bong Osorio said in a press statement.
The new show will still be hosted by “Showtime” mainstays Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Billy Crawford, Karylle, ‘Kuya’ Kim Atienza, Teddy Corpuz, Jugs Jugueta and Vice Ganda. They will be joined by former judges Jhong Hilario, Ryan Bang and Coleen Garcia.
“Together, they will be bringing a new and more exciting show filled with surprises and engaging segments that will make viewers experience more fun in “Showtime,” Osorio said.
Osorio also extended his thanks to ‘madlang people’ or the viewers for their continuous support to “Showtime.”
“ABS-CBN thanks the ‘madlang people,’ here in the Philippines and in The Filipino Channel (TFC) markets worldwide, for being with Showtime and its hosts in their journey of bringing joy and hope every morning the past two years. ABS-CBN invites the viewers to continue their unwavering support for ‘Showtime’ as it moves to noontime, from Monday to Saturday starting February 6,” he added.
