Comedy Skits

 * Bongga si Dai

The story is about Inday or Lady Dai (played by Ai-Ai),  who became rich after winning lottery. She has an ambitious and social climber maid named Phoebe (played by Joey) who speaks with British accent. Each episode, Phoebe teaches Lady Dai different lessons on how to become a real socialite.


 * Judge MD

Marian Rivera plays the role of Judge MD, who goes between two parties to resolve bizarre and petty conflicts. Rivera sits on the judge's seat, but unlike the typical courtroom setting, the defendant and plaintiff, portrayed by celebrity guests, face each other in two witness stands. Also part of the skit are Valeen as court clerk and Jose as police officer. As a parody in the common dialogue of judges - "Order in the court", which is used to demand silence in the courtroom, a waiter (played by Jerald), will come out from the backroom to take the judge's food order.


 * Cynthia's School of Overacting

Wally Bayola plays the role of an overly confident and arrogant gay acting coach Cynthia. Cynthia mocks and criticizes his students who are actually seasoned and award-winning actresses. He teaches them his acting technique which can be described as "overacting". Actresses who have guested in this segment include Maricel Soriano, Jaclyn Jose, Cherie Gil and Nora Aunor.


 * Madramarama Presents

The skit follows the pattern of a typical Filipino "telenovela" or serial drama wherein the story is cut into several weekly episodes. Besides having a convoluted dramatic plot and unexpected twists, it is still injected with comedic acts, jokes and punchlines. Each week, the episode will end with a question and the audience will have a stake on what would happen next by voting via the show's social media account. The first feature story is entitled "Ano ang Ano? Kanino?" (What is What? Whose?) which is about the twisted fate of twins, Ella and Lala, played by Ai-Ai and Marian.


 * Kantaserye Presents

Kantaserye is the show's take on a "musical play". The actors, who are also singers, after delivering their lines, will sing songs that are related to the scene. They usually sing popular OPM songs. A voice-over, who is likened with the voice of "Big Brother" serves as the narrator. The first feature story  starring Jose, Wally, Jerald and Julie Anne is entitled "Sari-Sari Luv". Noteworthy actor who have guested in this segment is Christopher De Leon.

Variety Segments

 * Chef Boy Next Door

The show also offers a "cooking segment" featuring the heartthrob and the half of the phenomenal love tandem AlDub, Alden Richards. In this segment, Alden goes under the monicker "Chef Boy-Next-Door" who is assisted by Rico Fabio played by Jerald. The segment starts with a dance number from Chef Boy, after which he will teach and demo simple recipes to the live audience. Once the food is cooked, Rico will pick someone from the audience to taste the food Chef Boy prepared. The lucky audience will also get a chance to spin a wheel that will determine which part of Chef Boy's body she will get to kiss.


 * Kanta Ririt

Aside from comedy skits, the show also features a fun and exciting "game segment" dubbed as "Kanta Ririt". Jose and Marian serve as the game masters. Two teams, composed of celebrity guests, will compete in a charades-like guessing game of song titles. Team members will take turns to sing a set of songs, but they must not sing the lyrics instead replace it with strange and funny sounds like a dog's bark or a cat's meow. The team with the most number of song titles guessed after two minutes wins the game and brings home a trophy.


 * The Fashionistas

Jose, Wally and Jerald, after walking in the catwalk wearing high-fashion and usually eccentric outfits, sing original compositions that talks about specific themes and issues based on human experiences.
