July 8, 2014

ARELLANO host of The Million Second Quiz, MAGALONA host of Killer Karaoke and DOMINGO host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

The Kapinoy Network IBC-13 has now joined the fray. The network has acquired what it called "the three kings" of primetime game shows. Starting this Saturday nights, the new season of The Million Second Quiz, hosted by Drew Arellano, will at 6 to 6:45 p.m., followed at 7:30 to 8:15 p.m. by the new game show Killer Karaoke, hosted by Elmo Magalona. The two shows will air on Saturday nights. Then on Sunday, the hour-long new season of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? will be hosted by Robi Domingo. It will be telecast weekly.

Of the three, Elmo's hosting sting on Killer Karaoke mark his homecoming of sorts to IBC-13, where he bannered the top-rating gag show Happy TODAS. That's why he also became the top choice of the network executives to host one of its three gme shows to be launched this month.

Arellano, on the other hand, who is hosting the throwback show Retro TV and now is IBC's game show, which can give the game shows in rival networks tough competition. Domingo will doing the project of IBC 13 to have hosting the primetime quiz show as well.

As a parting shot, Laurenti Dyogi, Head of IBC Entertainment TV, had this to say during the press con: "And so, korek kayo d' yan, game na kami, many want to be millionaires in the battle of the game shows." It's the season of game shows on Philippine TV. That should give the Filipino audience a reasn to be "superstar."

IBC-13's competition offers prizes as high as P2 million (P1 million in the case) when the network is hoping that Kapinoy viewers will be attracted by the interesting formats of its game shows. Besides, most of the time, they going to head to head with the other networks.
