Fun-filled shows set to premiere on TV5
Viewers of TV5 are certainly agog over fun-filled shows slated to premiere one after the other, courtesy of blocktimers of the network, among them Brightlight Productions.
One of them is “Sunday Kada,” an upcoming comedy show directed by Edgar Mortiz, set to be launched on Sunday, October 18 from 3-4pm. Promising a full-laughter Sunday viewing, the show features Jayson Gainza, Ritz Azul, Wacky Kiray, Miles Ocampo, Daniel Matsunaga, Jerome Ponce, Josh Colet, Sunshine Garcia, Jhen Maloles, and Badji Mortiz. The show will air every Sunday.
The show marks the return of Ritz Azul to TV5 where she started. Asked how she felt about going back to TV5, Ritz said “masaya ako na nakabaik where I started because when I became a Kapamilya, I did not naman burn my bridge sa TV5. Dun ako lumaki sa ABS-CBN where I made many shows. So it’s like nag-college ako, then umuwi ako.
“Masaya ako na may mga ganitong show pa rin tayo sa gitna ng pandemya, na may oportunidad pa rin na magtrabaho…at natutuwa ako sa tiwala na binibigay nila sa amin.” She said she has no special segment in the show. “Everyone is given a share of the spotlight, pantay-pantay kami.”
Like Ritz, Wacky Kiray is excited and happy over the chance to have work amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. “Masuerte pa rin kami, lalo na sa akin kasi wala na mga comedy bars kaya ang oportunidad na ito malaking bagay. At masaya ang show na ito. Binabasa pa lang namin ang script, sobra-sobra na tawanan namin. We exert team effort para mapaganda ang show.”
Among the rest, Wacky felt doubly lucky because he is also in “Lunch Out Loud,” which premieres on October 19, from 12nn-2pm on TV5 and airs from Monday to Saturday.
“LOL,” a noontime variety show has in its cast Billy Crawford, Alex Gonzaga, K Brosas, Bayani Agbayani, KC Montero and Macoy Dubs. A
Billy said the show offers a lot of fun and surprises via its games and contests which gives viewers at home the chance of winning.
He added that he feels so blessed to be working at this time and that he’s very thankful to TV5 for tapping him to be part of “LOL” which he describes as a “high energy show, whose every segment is super masaya.”
With this daily show, will Billy be affected in his duties as a family man? He and Çoleen Garcia are now parents. Billy said it will just be a matter of time management, especially when his wife decide to get back to work in the near future..
But at the moment, this isn’t a bother yet for Billy, knowing that Çoleen is so serious in her mother role. “Saludo ako kay Çoleen, she breastfeed our baby and is really serious in her motherly obligations. “But when she decides to go back to work, I won’t get on the her way,” Billy stressed.
KC Montero is also very excited about being in “Lunch Out Loud,” and not only because it affords him the time to be working with his friend Billy. Having been a host of beauty pageants and other big events for 20 years, he said this is a different experience, this noontime show. “It gives me a different feel, this is very exciting, a lot of fun.”
