In a recent segment of the popular noontime show ‘It’s Showtime’ called ‘Isip Bata’ (Child’s Play), Vice Ganda playfully instructed Darren Espanto to imitate the legendary Gary Valenciano.
Darren, known as the Asia’s Pop Heartthrob, promptly accepted the challenge and flawlessly impersonated the iconic singer. Vice Ganda was so impressed that he enthusiastically exclaimed, “Ang galing nung Darren, i-regular na ‘yan! kailangan ko ng Darren sa ‘Showtime’!”

If this potential collaboration materializes, it would mean that viewers could enjoy Darren’s presence not only on ‘It’s Showtime’ but also on ‘ASAP Natin ‘To,’ making him a consistent presence on their screens.
Vice Ganda also playfully teased Darren Espanto and Kyle Echarri about their close friendship and inseparable bond, to which the two young stars responded that they had no plans of parting ways.
It appears that in addition to his remarkable talents as a performer, Darren Espanto has shown great potential as a host, earning the admiration and endorsement of Vice Ganda himself.
