the last episode of Wowowee
Saturday, July 31, 2010 11:21The last episode of Wowowee was shown yesterday, July 30 2010.
The noontime show started normally but at the end, a short tribute to Willie Revillame was shown. A teary-eyed Mariel Rodriguez thanked everyone who made Wowowee possible including her co-hosts, the director, the whole staff and of course Kuya Willie. A short presentation of happy pictures of Willie hosting the show was played on the big screen at the back of the hosts, to the tune of Willie’s own song “Ikaw na nga”.
Wowowee had been running for more than five years since its first airing on February 25, 2005. For the last few months of its airtime, the show had been without a face lacking the main host Willie Revillame. It started when main host Willie left the show after expressing his dismay over a writer from the same channel. Wowowee had since struggled to find a new host to replace Willie, looking for suitable guest hosts. We saw its end coming, probably to detach the noontime slot from the the Wowowee-Willie tandem and the controversy following it.
Wowowee will be replaced by a new variety game show called “Pilipinas, Win na Win.” The new noontime show will be hosted by Kris Aquino and Robin Padilla, with returning co-hosts Mariel Rodriguez, Pokwang and Valerie Concepcion.
