“Yes, we listen. abangan this June!” he wrote.
It’s Showtime, received criticisms from Netizens, who claimed that the show is turning more of a ‘talk show’ than a variety show.
They said that the hosts and staff of the show are becoming lazy as they do not have new segments to boost the viewers.
Currently, It’s Showtime has four segments: Name It To Win It, Tawag ng Tanghalan (TNT), Hide and Sing, and Versus.
Netizens mentioned that the hosts are prolonging the interview with the TNT contestants–it made the show boring.

“Kailangan magtipid pero kaya ring makapag-isip ng exciting new segments na may variety kahit limited budget,” the Netizen wrote.
Kudos din naman talaga sa showtime grabe din ang pagtapat nila sa eat bulaga di ba? Pero naicomment ko na ata ito dati puro TNT na lang ang ganap ng mga ghagha tapos chimisan on the side bwahahahaha. Tapos 80% ng show bunganga ni meme VG ang naririnig ko sharoooot.

It's Talktime na este @itsShowtimeNa pala!
Pero dahil ayaw ko muna ng talk show at utang-uta na ako sa katatalak ng mga tao sa work meetings ngayong umaga — sa @LunchOutLoudPH muna tayo.
I wanna see rin a whole ep para maikumpara natin ng buo ang 2. #ShowtimeArawNatin

sana makabalik na rin si @annecurtissmith tapos miss q&a or kalokalike 🥰 for me, no need naman ireformat eh, masyado malawak ang term. just one segment lang na papatok 💯 no live audience really took it's toll on the hosts kaya humahaba ang chikahan. pero kaya naman ma-control.
