If you’re insomniac, you should know who Jojo Alejar is. He’s the host of TV5’s Medyo Late Night With Jojo A. Actually, his show airs not late night but very early morning, way past midnight. It’s worth staying medyo late for.
An alum of German “Kuya Germs” Moreno’s GMA youth-oriented show That’s Entertainment (it should be revived, shouldn’t it be?), Jojo is as funny and as witty and, well, as midnight-sexy as the hosts of similar US shows — Jay Leno, David Letterman, et al. There’s no dead air on his show. He’s articulate and in very rare times when he can’t say it, his body language does the trick.
I have guested on Jojo’s show. The episode was taped at its former cramped studio at the mezzanine of the building where Delta Theater used to be. It was a bit musty but Jojo didn’t let the ambience dampen his spirit and enthusiasm. When I watched the episode on TV, it looked as if it was shot at CBS, no kidding!
Catch Jojo at medyo late night and see what I mean.
