ABS-CBN’s longest-running noontime show It’s Showtime made another historic milestone, as its debut episode kicked off with a jaw-dropping opening number, which trended worldwide and earned 500,000 peak concurrent views on Saturday.
Comedian Vice Ganda opened the show with a Dune-inspired video, which shifted to featuring him sitting atop the GMA logo on the network’s main building. He also did another “mothering” performance singing “Thunder,” “Champion,” and “Hall of Fame.”
Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Jhong Hilario, Karylle, Kim Chiu, Ogie Alcasid, Amy Perez, Darren Espanto, Jugs Jugueta, Teddy Corpuz, Ryan Bang, Jackie Gonzaga, MC, Lassy, Ion Perez, and Cianne Dominguez also performed heart-pumping performances for the Kapamilya and Kapuso viewers.
Vice expressed his gratitude to the ABS-CBN and GMA bosses for continuously giving It’s Showtime the opportunity to spread happiness and entertainment to more audiences. He also added that this was his best birthday celebration, and the continuous collaboration between the two media giants was for the viewers.
“This is for all the Madlang People whom we will bring joy to starting today. This is for GMA and ABS-CBN, for everyone working on ‘It’s Showtime,’ all our staff who are very talented and hardworking, and to all our hosts, to all our companions, our Kapamilya, our Kapuso,” the TV host and comedian said.
Kapuso stars Gabbi Garcia, Sanya Lopez, Glaiza de Castro, Jillian Ward, Mark Bautista, Christian Bautista, Jake Vargas, Mikee Quintos, Nadine Samonte, and Chanty were present to witness the big day on television and the “Karaokids” segment.
Aside from the explosive opening number, the pilot episode on GMA also featured a special episode of “Expecially For You” wherein Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee became a searcher and was joined by her mother, Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez.
It’s Showtime airs Monday to Saturday, 12:00 noon on GMA, A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, GTV, Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel, and Facebook page, iWantTFC, and TFC IPTV.ABS-CBN’s longest-running noontime show It’s Showtime made another historic milestone, as its debut episode kicked off with a jaw-dropping opening number, which trended worldwide and earned 500,000 peak concurrent views on Saturday.
