The ‘Madlang Pipol’ (the viewers) wondered why Kim Chiu is missing in action on It’s Showtime lately. Usually, she gets to host at least one segment of the noontime show.
Speculations spread that Chiu got removed from the said hosting stint.
Over twitter, netizens ranted when they noticed that Chiu is nowhere to find all throughout the show. They expressed their dismay over the production’s decisions on not allocating much exposure for the Cebuana and former PBB big winner.
A user complained about why it was only Vice Ganda and Vhong Navarro who hosted the segments.

Someone admitted that sometimes Chiu’s jokes are corny, but the noontime show would not be complete without her goofiness.

Another commended how Chiu brings in warmth and positivity to those people who get to catch her on the show.

Someone gave an emphasis that Chiu is a host of the show and not a guest.
She deserves a whole lot more screen time.
STILL no hosting segment????
Why ?????
Nothing against Vhong but we believe that Kim Chiu @prinsesachinita deserves EXPOSURE… hindi siya guest sa @itsShowtimeNa – just reminding u that she is a host. Kung hindi pa sa Shopee today, wala siyang moment sa show
Pls re-assess… pic.twitter.com/OI73I8ixHj— Armee0528 (@armee0528) August 30, 2021
An account has expressed a longing to see Chiu again on screen.

A user revealed that their entire family tuned in to the show and wished Chiu will be one of the regular hosts.
Hinahanap namin si KIM CHIU dito sa bahay nakaabang na kami @itsShowtimeNa sana host na sya ngayon para di namin ma off ang tv.

What could be the score behind Chiu’s sudden non-visibility in the show?
