Ariel Rivera disagreed on reporting for alternate days in Lunch Out Loud, while his co-hosts K Brosas and KC Montero consented to the idea.
The hosts were affected by the cost-cutting measures made by Brightlight Productions, the producer of the TV5 noontime show.
Following this, Rivera decided to quit the show. He did not report to Lunch Out Loud on Monday, November 8.
Apart from this, Lunch Out Loud hosts’ talent fees also got reduced.
The cost-cutting measures were [supposedly] made for the sake of extending the show.
Rivera started working for the show since it first aired on Monday, October 19, 2020.
He was also present during the show’s first-anniversary celebration on Tuesday, October 19, 2021.
Lunch Out Loud‘s other hosts include Billy Crawford, Alex Gonzaga, Wacky Kiray, Laboching, and Jeff Tam.
