MANILA, Philippines – Perhaps, no other channel knows the popular adage “laughter is the best medicine” better than GMA-7. As proof, more and more TV viewers are religiously getting their required dose of humor from two of the most-watched late-night comedy programs – Bubble Gang with Michael V and Ogie Alcasid, and Cool Center with Anjo Yllana and Eugene Domingo.
There’s no denying that the country’s longest-running and most-awarded gag show is still as popular when it first aired some 13 years ago. Bubble Gang, thanks to its unbeatable hodgepodge of wacky hosts and over-the-top gags and sketches, continues to rate very well as testament to its often-replicated-but-never-duplicated knack for comedy. Very recently, the cast trooped all the way to Dubai to do a two-part special which aired in the past two weeks with remarkably high ratings among Mega-Manila households.
On the other hand, Cool Center, a new, first-of-its-kind comedy radio show on TV, is also making waves since its pilot episode last March. Using the popular “radio talk show” format, Cool Center now has a steady stream of viewers and callers who participate in its wide-ranging segments. If you’re in search of romance, looking for sound advice or is all by your lonesome Saturday nights, the number to dial is 981-1936 to 38.
So keep your hearts and minds healthy by making it a habit to watch Bubble Gang every Friday after Fated to Love You and Cool Center every Saturday after Imbestigador on the countryís leading source of quality entertainment, GMA-7.
