Vice Ganda, the popular comedian and host, once again demonstrated his quick wit and humor during a recent episode of his noontime show, leading to a viral moment that had viewers and netizens alike laughing out loud.
The amusing incident occurred when a contestant introduced himself as ‘Mark Anthony,’ prompting Vice Ganda to momentarily pause in surprise. This pause was immediately followed by laughter from his co-host, Jhong Hilario.
The timing of the contestant’s introduction was particularly funny given the recent controversy involving actor Mark Anthony Fernandez, who had been in the news due to an alleged scandal.
“Ah, Mark Anthony…,” Vice Ganda said after a brief moment of silence, quickly adding with a laugh, “Gwapings!” The term ‘Gwapings’ refers to the popular 90s boy group that included Mark Anthony Fernandez, Jomari Yllana, and Eric Fructuoso.
Adding another layer to the humor, Vice Ganda teased another contestant by asking, “Oh, napanood mo?” and quickly following up with, “‘Yung Gwapings na movie?” Netizens were quick to catch the double meaning, finding the exchange highly entertaining.
Fans and viewers took to social media to express their amusement.
