Vice Ganda quipped that Eat Bulaga gives bigger cash prizes than It’s Showtime on Tuesday, January 19, during the Showtime Sexy Babe segment.
The conversation started after the segment’s contestant Mary Rose Palma narrated how she was always joining beauty pageants.
Vice then recalled his own experiences in joining pageants.
He said, “Noong bata naman ako, ayaw ako pasalihin ng contest.
“Feeling ko kasi, iyong tatay ko, lider-lideran doon sa lugar namin. Feeling ko natatakot siyang mapahiya.
“E, ako naman, okay lang naman ako. Lagi nga akong natatalo dati. I had my fair share of losses.”
Ogie Alcasid then joined the conversation and reminded Vice that he won several times in different singing contests on TV such as in ABS-CBN’s The Singing Bee and in GMA-7’s Eat Bulaga!
Vice then revealed that Eat Bulaga! gave bigger cash prizes than It’s Showtime.
He said, “O, di ba? Magkano rin iyon, five thousand sa Eat Bulaga!
“Mas mataas talaga magbigay ng premyo ang Eat Bulaga! kaysa Showtime, e!
“Mas malaki talaga pera doon, e!
“Charot lang! Ang pangit kong host.
“Saan ka nakakita, host ka ng Showtime pero fan ka ng Dabarkads!”
In 2017, Vice admitted that he had joined several singing contests of Eat Bulaga! in the past including Birit Queen, O Diva, Search for the Singing Soldier, and Doble Kara.
Aside from this, he said that he also gets to watch Eat Bulaga! from time to time.
