Filipino entertainment icon Vice Ganda has made a thrilling announcement that has set the local showbiz scene abuzz. The beloved comedian and host revealed that his iconic late-night talk show, "Gandang Gabi Vice," commonly referred to as "GGV," is poised to make a grand return to television screens.
Official Announcement at UST Event
Vice Ganda shared the exciting news during his recent visit to Inkblots, a campus journalism fellowship organized by The Varsitarian, the official student publication of the University of Santo Tomas. In his characteristic lively manner, he teased the audience with the words, "Ay abangan niyo, kasi magbabalik na ang 'GGV.'" This statement has since gone viral, igniting anticipation among long-time viewers and new fans alike.
Network Support and Social Media Buzz
Adding fuel to the excitement, ABS-CBN, the network that originally aired the show, has posted a nostalgic throwback clip from "GGV" on its various social media platforms. This move is seen as a subtle confirmation and promotional effort for the show's impending revival. However, despite the growing hype, specific details about the return—such as the exact premiere date, time slot, or format changes—remain under wraps, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further announcements.
Legacy and Previous Revival Attempt
"Gandang Gabi Vice" first graced Philippine television in 2011 and enjoyed a successful nine-year run until it concluded in 2020. The show became a cultural phenomenon, known for its humorous interviews, celebrity guests, and Vice Ganda's signature wit. Interestingly, Vice previously disclosed that he was offered an opportunity to revive the program back in 2023. At that time, he declined due to his packed schedule and existing commitments in the entertainment industry, making this new announcement all the more significant for his career trajectory.
As the news spreads, discussions are rife about how the show will adapt to the current media landscape and what fresh elements it might introduce. For now, the entertainment community and audiences across the Philippines are marking their calendars, ready to welcome back a cherished piece of Filipino television history.
