In a hilarious bid to win over the “Magpasikat” judges, comedy superstar Vice Ganda showered them with praises, even at the expense of her co-hosts including Anne Curtis.

Introducing Alice Dixson as one of the judges in the October 22 episode of “It’s Showtime,” Vice Ganda called her “my favorite Dyesebel,” in reference to the Mars Ravelo mermaid she portrayed in 1990.

Reminded that Curtis too played Dyesebel in a 2014 teleserye, Vice Ganda joked that her friend’s version was “ugly” compared to Dixson’s portrayal, eliciting laughter in the studio.

“Kaya ka nadikya!” Vice Ganda told a laughing Curtis, referring to the jellyfish sting incident that happened while the actress was filming the series.
