Pokwang back to TV hosting in ‘Happy, Yipee, Yehey!’




Comedy actress and TV host Pokwang is set to bring in more laughter as she joins ABS-CBN's noontime show "Happy Yipee Yehey" as its new TV host.

On May 7, Pokwang will return to TV hosting four months after the cancellation of "Pilipinas Win na Win," her last noontime stint. Pokwang joins co-hosts Randy Santiago, John Estrada, Toni Gonzaga, Mariel Rodriguez and Melai Cantiveros in the show.

Pokwang's fans have long been asking the comedienne on her return to hosting. On Monday, May 2, Pokwang tweeted, "Sa Sabado na po May 7 magkitakits tayong muli sa happy yipee yehey!! :) ." Pokwang recently starred in Star Cinema's "Pak Pak My Doktor Kwak," along with Vic Sotto and Bea Alonzo.

In an interview with ABS-CBN's "SNN" on Monday, Pokwang revealed her thoughts in hosting "Happy Yipee Yehey." "Yung passion ko sa pagta-trabaho ay mapapagpatuloy ko. Kailangan yung pagbabalik mo naman ay maayos at prepared ka talaga. Para yung mga taong matagal rin naming nag-hintay ay satisfied sila sa pagbabalik mo," Pokwang said.

As this is a recently launched program, Pokwang still has to familiarize herself with the structure and mechanics of the show. "Pag-aaralan ko pa yung format ng mga shows, yung mga games," Pokwang added. In her former noontime shows, Pokwang is known for her funny antics and outrageous costumes, headdresses and hats.

"Lahat ng koleksyon ko ng bonggang HAT pinahiram ko muna sa Royal wedding!," Pokwang tweeted.

Even though Pokwang is the latest addition to the cast, she has no qualms in joining her new family. "Si Kuya Randy, ilang beses ko naman na nakatrabaho ditto at sa abroad, sa "Alog-alog," sya yung direcktor namin. Si Toni, sa "Crazy for You." Si Mariel, sa Wowowee. Si Melai, sa "Banana Split," Pokwang recalled. This is also the first time that Pokwang will get to work with John Estrada, who has previously hosted noontime shows in ABS-CBN before. "Si John, first time ko sya makakatrabaho. Nakikita ko naman na hindi sya mahirap makatrabaho," Pokwang said.

As TV hosting is no longer new for Pokwang, viewers are excited of what she can bring on the show. "Pag buo na yung pamilya namin, nakikita ko talaga na doble ang saya namin. Tsaka, kung gaano ka kasaya sa ginagawa mo, nagrereflect yun sa mga taong manunood sayo. Mahahawa na rin sila sa pagiging Masaya, kaya, 'Happy Yipee Yehey,'" Pokwang said.
