It's Showtime	comment	It's Showtime is a Philippine noontime musical variety show produced by ABS-CBN. The show is also broadcast worldwide through The Filipino Channel (TFC).The show is currently ABS-CBN's longest-running daily noontime variety show, having surpassed the original run of Magandang Tanghali Bayan (lit. Good Afternoon, Nation) which aired from 1998 to 2005. It's Showtime (originally called as Showtime) was initially aired as a variety talent show before Wowowee as a replacement for the SMS-themed game show Pilipinas, Game Ka Na Ba? with its contestants mostly comprising of dance groups from throughout the country.The show became a noontime show from October 2010 to February 11, 2011 but reverted back on its original timeslot on February 12, 2011 with the premiere of Happy Yipee Yehey!. It went of the air temporarily on January 28, 2012 with an impartial farewell as a preparation preparing for a reformat. The drama series Mundo Man ay Magunaw and Kapamilya Blockbusters temporarily filled Showtime's timeslot from January 30 to February 3, 2012 and a finale episode of Happy Yipee Yehey! on February 4, 2012.On February 6, 2012, the show was retooled (where the name of the show is now called as It's Showtime) with new long-term segments while the original competition format returned once again as one of its special segments, with the retooled show filled the timeslot of Happy Yipee Yehey! as well as becoming a noontime show again after 1 year.As of 2023, the show currently airs on GMA Network's sister network, GTV, A2Z, and Kapamilya Channel. The show previously aired on TV5, but has since moved to GTV as ABS-CBN's blocktime agreement with TV5 expired on June 30, 2023. Following the cancellation of Tahanang Pinakamasayanote The show was previously aired as a continuation of Eat Bulaga! without the iconic Tito, Vic and Joey trio in 2023 until 2024 when they were forced to relenquish their rights to the trademark following a legal dispute. on March 2024 due to dismal ratings, It's Showtime now airs on GMA's flagship station itself, which is notable considering their previous network rivalry.

It's Showtime / int_21c05222	comment	Long-Runners: Has been on ABS-CBN since October 24, 2009, and by the time the show marks its anniversary in October, it would earn the distinction of being one of the longest-running variety shows on Philippine television; most of ABS-CBN's attempts at competing with Eat Bulaga! tend to be rather short-lived. The show dominates the ABS-CBN's noontime slot for most of the 2010s (October 2010â€“February 11, 2011; February 6, 2012â€“December 31, 2019) alongside Wowowee on the first 7 months of the said decade (January 1â€“July 30, 2010), and 2020s decade.

It's also why they were the most logical candidates for a pastiche of "Gangnam Style" by PSY back in the song's height of fame, with plump Jugs playing PSY and scrawny Teddy playing Yoo Jae-suk.

It's Showtime / int_4eaa9b84	comment	Author Tract: Plently of them, really, both from the contestants and the hosts themselves. Jhong, Kim and Ion's performance in Magpasikat 2023 is an appeal to people about technology—particularly excessive smartphone use and social media consumption—serving to isolate people more than connect them if not used responsibly. It also cautions people to choose their words carefully as it can and will hurt those around them. Interestingly enough, their performance also (presumably) served as a counterpoint to the other hosts' use of technology in their numbers.

The lyrics ask the audience to scream and jump, but eventually they've stopped jumping â€” not due to waning enthusiasm, but more because it's hard for a dense crowd of many live viewers to leap in cue every morning, especially regular live viewers.

It's Showtime / int_60e2ec3e	comment	Artificial Intelligence: Used to great effect by Vhong, Jugs and Teddy in their Magpasikat 2023 performance where they paid tribute to veteran comedians of yore by deepfaking the faces of Dolphy, Babalu and Redford White as well as several other deceased comedians over their performances.note It was later explained how the deepfake performance was generated, where they used three separate cameras and high-end gaming computers (supplied by Filipino PC retailer PC Express) each running Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPUs and a fork of the roop deepfake software to alter Vhong, Jugs and Teddy's appearance against datasets culled from said deceased comedians. They did however put up a disclaimer in light of concerns that such emerging technologies could be abused to displace actual artists (case in point the recent Hollywood strikes where members of the Writers and Screen Actors Guild protested against the industry's use of generative AI algorithms) or used for misinformation e.g. fake news. As an added precaution, the show's staff obtained permission from the families of the comedians featured, some of whom were also in the studio audience during the performance.

Over the years, heâ€™s grown into his looks quite well, and a lot of people appreciate how cute he is. Thereâ€™s no changing that voice, however, which could be described â€” with affection â€” as similar in sound to a Muppetâ€™s.

It's Showtime / int_a94eaaa4	type	Odd Friendship
It's Showtime / int_a94eaaa4	comment	Odd Friendship: The program breathes on this trope. As Vice articulated in a 10th anniversary special feature, the Ensemble Cast of hosts consisted of public figures so disparate in personality that he himself didnâ€™t believe it would work. To wit... the early roster of hosts included (and still do) a former politician whoâ€™s there on the show to recite fun facts in a cowboy hat (Kim Atienza); an actress known for being pretty but prone to mangling Tagalog due to the fact that she was raised in Australia, as well as having a discordantly shrill voice (Anne Curtis); a dry-witted, Camp Gay comedian in a local industry filled with many comedians marketed in similar ways, and who would yet to break through show business (Vice Ganda); an erstwhile celebrity dancer who was too short and not conventionally handsome enough to attain much fame as a star, best known at the time for playing the vicious abusive father in Kathryn Bernardoâ€™s star-making series Mara Clara (Jhong Hilario); and a random pair of vocalists from the rock bands Itchyworms and Rocksteddy, Jugs Jugueta and Teddy Corpuz, whose respective bands did have some major hits, yet neither were considered anywhere near attractive or interesting or charming enough to have media presence as individuals. But then their collective rapport turned out to be off the charts, and ABS-CBN finally had something solid to put in its noontime slot against Eat Bulaga!.

It is interesting to note that Vice has previously expressed support for Rodrigo Duterte, who has vocally threatened to have the network shut down but claims to have left ABS's fate to the NTC and Congress and wanted nothing to do with it — Duterte himself was a guest in Gandang Gabi Vice at one point prior to his election; whether the shutdown affected Vice's views on Duterte or not is anyone's guess.note If it's any indication, Vice publicly expressed support for Leni Robredo—whom Duterte wasn't particularly fond of despite her winning the vice presidency—during the 2022 presidential elections.

That, or when one of the hosts or a contestant wants or tries to sing a certain song whose royalties are rather expensive e.g. those from Disney soundtracks or The Beatles to name a few.
