Vice didn’t miss a beat, responding with his usual comedic flair. “Huwag mong gawing isyu ang pagiging talkative ko, baka ikaw pa ang mawalan ng trabaho!” (Don’t make an issue out of me being talkative, you might be the one to lose your job!), he shot back, sending Anne into a fit of laughter.

A Flashback to the Golden Days of ‘Showtime’

For long-time fans of It’s Showtime, Anne and Vice’s reunion was a moment of nostalgia.

This unique dynamic is what makes their reunion so compelling. Anne and Vice’s on-screen chemistry feels real because it is. Fans know that they share a close friendship outside the cameras as well. Their mutual respect for each other is evident not only in the jokes they make but also in the way they support each other’s personal and professional endeavors.

In one memorable moment during the episode, Vice teased Anne about her transition from showbiz queen to devoted mother. “Puno ka na ng mama vibes, Anne! Saan na yung beshie kong walang pake?” (You’re all about mom vibes now, Anne! Where’s my beshie who didn’t care about anything?), Vice teased, referring to Anne’s busy life as a mother to her daughter, Dahlia, and her growing family with husband Erwan Heussaff. Anne, unfazed, responded with a laugh, saying, “Nagbago na ako, Vice, pero alam mo naman, beshie pa rin kita!” (I’ve changed, Vice, but you know I’m still your beshie). This playful exchange once again highlighted the deep bond between them.

The Role of Humor in Their Relationship

It’s the kind of humor that comes from years of friendship, and it’s clear that no amount of time away from the show could diminish their bond.

In an earlier segment, Vice shared how much he missed Anne’s energy on set. “Matagal na kitang hindi nakasama, ha. I miss the way you lighten up the show,” he confessed, acknowledging that Anne’s presence brought something special to It’s Showtime. Anne, always humble, laughed it off and playfully joked about Vice’s tendency to dominate the conversation.

Their comedy isn’t just about making people laugh; it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels like part of the joke. It’s a magic that can only be found in the kind of partnership that Anne and Vice have built over the years.

While the bardagulan between Anne and Vice is a big part of their appeal, their reunion also demonstrated the depth of their friendship. Their teasing and playful arguments are all in good fun, but there is an underlying layer of respect and admiration that has been cultivated over their years together.

In a more heartfelt moment during the episode, Anne expressed how grateful she was for the support she received from Vice throughout the years, especially during the more challenging times of her career. “I’ve always appreciated how you’ve been there for me, Vice,” Anne said with a smile. “From the start, you made me feel welcome and loved. And now that I’m back, it feels like nothing has changed.”
