Vice Ganda’s playful remark about borrowing buzzers from GMA Network and TAPE, Inc. has captured the online community’s attention.
The comedian made the comment after a technical glitch occurred during the ‘Showing Bulilit’ segment of ‘It’s Showtime’ on Monday.
During the segment, all six teams pressed their buzzers simultaneously, but none of them lit up or made any sound.
The mishap led to laughter among the hosts and the audience, with Vice Ganda humorously suggesting that GMA Network and TAPE, Inc. should donate their buzzers from former noontime show ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya’ and game show ‘Family Feud’ to ‘It’s Showtime.’
The buzzers quickly resumed functioning, indicating a minor technical issue. Vice’s jest sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, with some jokingly asking if ABS-CBN was cutting costs despite the high ratings of ‘It’s Showtime.’
The incident is just another example of Vice Ganda’s playful hosting style, which has endeared him to audiences and helped ‘It’s Showtime’ maintain its status as the top-rated noontime show in the country, both on-air and online.
