Bitoy, Ogie reunite in Killer Karaoke

MANILA, Philippines - Michael V. and Ogie Alcasid reunite on TV5’s Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman, the local version of the hit US show Killer Karaoke, airing its pilot episode tonight at 8:30.

“I was surprised!” said Michael V., the show’s host, when Ogie came out on stage and announced that he would be Bitoy’s guest co-host. “It’s going to be lots of fun. I’m very happy that Ogie is my first guest Karaoker.” It’s definitely going to be a laugh trip overload with the comic duo, who saw each other for the first time since Ogie made his big move to TV5.

Ogie was also surprised when he took on the  sing-and-play challenge. “I thought I can make it, but when the challenge started, I could no longer sing!” he said in between laughs, as he was tasked to sing Pusong Bato, while serving as yaya/waiter to Michael V. and fighting electric shocks in between.

Aside from electric shocks, there’s a whole lot of other distractions contestants have to overcome when they join Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman. As seen in the US version, there were challenges such as singing while getting your body hair waxed, stepping on spiders and maggots, or standing in front of giant fans blowing fresh air, oatmeal and paprika. The final showdown puts the top three contenders onto a speeding turntable; the last player standing wins the jackpot. Challenges get crazier and crazier each week, but there’s only one rule: “Whatever happens, do not stop singing!”
