HOST Vice Ganda admitted that there was a point when he wanted to leave “It’s Showtime”.
It was after the first year of “It’s Showtime”, around 2010, when it was still a pre-programming show to ABS-CBN’s noontime show, “Pilipinas Win na Win.”
The TV host, comedian and actor said, “After noong first year, nagpaalam na ako. I felt so tired. Yung araw-araw, ‘sample sample,’ araw-araw, kailangan ko mag-isip ng ‘May nag-text!’ Feeling ko, naubos ako.”
He continued, “Tapos hindi ako sanay sa showbiz, nabigla ako sa pagbabago sa buhay ko na hindi ko nasabayan.”
Vice then decided to talk to the management of ABS-CBN. The executives did not accept his resignation, but allowed him to take a break.
He narrated, “Nakipag-usap ako sa management na hindi ko na po bet. Tapos si Ogie Diaz, sabi niya, ‘Sige, pahinga na lang muna tayo,’ kasi nakita niya talaga, pagod na pagod ako.”
When Vice took a break, it was then he realized that he missed “Showtime”, especially his co-host Anne Curtis.
“Namiss ko yung ‘Showtime’, namiss ko si Anne. Si Anne talaga yung nasanay ako na nakikita ko si Anne Curtis, parang ayoko nang hindi ko kasama si Anne Curtis,” he said.
“Tapos kinausap ako ng management, ganito, inayos nila ang lahat, tapos dinagdagan nila ang sweldo, aarte ka pa ba!” he added. (Pep.ph)
