In a dramatic turn of events that left the viewers of It’s Showtime in disbelief, Vice Ganda, the beloved host and comedian, lost his cool on stage after a contestant on the show pretended to be his ex during a game segment. The incident occurred during the popular segment “Hugot, Ex-Kabog!” which is known for its humor and engaging format, but this time, things took an unexpected turn, causing Vice to express his frustration openly.
The contestant, whose identity has yet to be fully disclosed, was part of a couple participating in the game, which involved contestants sharing funny and sometimes emotional stories about their past relationships. However, the atmosphere quickly shifted when the contestant falsely claimed to be an ex of Vice Ganda, in a bid to add some drama to their story.
This caught Vice completely off guard, and his reaction was immediate. With his usual sharp wit, he confronted the contestant on stage, visibly irritated and expressing his displeasure. “Why did you lie about this?” Vice asked with evident frustration. “This is not a joke. We’re here to have fun, not to make a mockery of people’s personal lives,” he continued, as the audience watched in stunned silence.
The contestant attempted to explain their actions, saying it was part of the game’s playful atmosphere, but Vice was not having it. “I don’t find it funny. Lying about something so personal just to get attention is not acceptable,” Vice declared, his tone serious and commanding. The tense moment left the other contestants and the studio audience in an uncomfortable silence, with many not knowing what to make of the unexpected confrontation.
Vice Ganda, known for his playful and often mischievous personality on It’s Showtime, is not usually one to lose his temper, especially in front of an audience. However, this incident seemed to touch a nerve, as Vice emphasized that the show was meant to bring joy and entertainment without resorting to disrespectful or inappropriate behavior. “We all want to have fun, but we also need to be respectful of each other. Not everything should be taken as a joke, especially when it involves lying about something as sensitive as personal relationships,” Vice said, standing his ground.
The moment quickly became the talk of social media, with fans of the show expressing their mixed reactions. While many supported Vice’s stance, agreeing that the contestant’s actions were inappropriate, others found the incident amusing, seeing it as just part of the show’s usual antics. Some viewers took to Twitter and Facebook, with comments like, “Vice Ganda’s reaction is priceless! He’s not just a funny host, he’s also someone who knows when to draw the line,” and “I love how Vice keeps it real and doesn’t tolerate nonsense.”
In the aftermath of the incident, the contestant apologized for their actions, admitting that they did not intend to cause any harm but had gotten carried away in the heat of the moment. “I didn’t mean to upset anyone, especially Vice. I thought it would add some humor to the game, but I see now that it was wrong,” the contestant said in an apology, acknowledging Vice Ganda’s feelings and the seriousness of the situation.
For his part, Vice accepted the apology and explained that while he appreciated the contestant’s willingness to make amends, the situation was a reminder of how important it is to be mindful of one’s words and actions. “We’re all here to entertain, but let’s do it with respect for everyone involved,” Vice said, reassuring the audience that there were no hard feelings, but that the lesson had been learned.
The incident has sparked an important conversation among It’s Showtime fans about the boundaries of comedy and entertainment. Many fans have expressed their support for Vice Ganda, saying that he handled the situation with grace and professionalism. “Vice is not just a comedian, he’s a role model. He knows when to be serious, and when to stand up for what’s right,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
