Gandang Gabi Vice aired its finale episode last Sunday, March 8.
The last episode was filled with gratitude and recalling of the past as Vice Ganda had a face-off with his final guest, Raffy Tulfo whom he had known since he was still starting his career as a comedian.
Vice revealed that Tulfo and his family have supported his career as a comedian even when he was not famous yet.
Vice stated, “Alam niyo po matagal na po kaming magkakilala. Bagito pa lang ako sa comedy bar ay sinusuportahan na ako ni Mr. Raffy Tulfo at ng pamilya niya noon pa. Hindi lang ako, kaming mga magkakaibigan sa comedy bar, kami nila Kiray, sila MC at Lassy, kaya matagal na kaming magkakilala. Naka-experience ako ng kabutihang-loob mo at ng pamilya ninyo. Ngayon po ay gusto kong magpasalamat muli sa inyo.”
During his guesting, the TV and radio host commented on Vice’s rise to stardom from an unknown comedian to becoming the Unkabogable Star.
“Dati kasi, 25,000 ka lang kapag kinukuha kita sa birthday ko, ngayon bilyones na. Dati sa comedy bar, kabayo pa tawag sa’yo nun e. Iba na porma mo ngayon,” the Raffy Tulfo in Action host said.
“Ang dami mo nang alahas ngayon at mamahalin na ang mga gamit mo. Dati, yung parang galing lang sa Quiapo, ngayon may mga tatak na ‘yan. Nakakasilaw nga e,” he added.
The 59-year old broadcast journalist also shared that he is proud of Vice Ganda as the latter kept his feet on the ground even after becoming one of the famous celebrities in the country.
“Ganun ka rin. Ipinagmamalaki rin kita sa mga tao, sinasabi ko ‘itong si Vice Ganda hindi nagbago. Hindi katulad ng iba kapag sumikat at yumaman ay hindi namamansin, pero si Vice ay namamansin pa rin,’” he said.
Aside from backtracking, Tulfo shared his hard life before which made him realize that he should help others.
“Sampu kaming magkakapatid, pang-walo ako, ako ang hindi napapansin at hindi nabibigyan ng biyaya at ako ‘yung tinatapon sa iba’t ibang lugar para pag-aralin ng mga kamag-anak at pagdating sa Pasko ako ‘yung walang laruan, wala akong damit at hand-me-down ang sistema kung ano ang isinuot ng mga kapatid ko ‘yun ang sinusuot ko.
“Because of that naging pasaway ako. Kaya dahil diyan kapos ako noon, diyan ako natuto na ‘yung mga kapos-palad ay tulungan ko because I was like them before,” he answered.
The fun-filled finale night also showcased Tulfo’s skills in dancing and making faces as he succumbed to the viral Tiktok challenges such as the “facezoom” and “Ahi” dance challenge.
In the end, Vice thanked Raffy for visiting his show.
Furthermore, the Unkabogable Star thanked everyone who supported his show for nine years. And despite signing off from Gandang Gabi Vice, the comedian host promised that he will not leave his viewers as he is set to host a new entertainment show called “Everybody, Sing” to be aired on the same day and time as GGV. The aforementioned program will debut on March 15, Sunday after The Voice Teens.
“Maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyo. Ang laking achievement na magkaroon ng programang ganito na ‘Gandang Gabi Vice’ na ako ang host. It was just a dream. Nine years ago I was given a chance to host my own show, ‘Gandang Gabi Vice’ and we were promised to air the show for one season, ilang weeks lang ‘yun. Then nung last day ng first season, nagulat kami na sinabi extended daw ng another season. Hanggang nagulat ako na nine years na ang ‘Gandang Gabi Vice.’ Hindi lahat, humahaba nang ganun, hindi ba?
“Pero huwag po kayo magalala, hindi niyo po ako ma-mi-miss kasi same day, same time, mapapanood niyo pa rin ako. Ibang title lang, ibang trip lang, pero sobrang saya promise, dito sa Everybody Sing!”
