I can still remember more than ten years ago, me and my mother went inside the studios of GMA Network to be one of the audience of StarTalk. Yes, the longest running showbiz talk show in the country now on its 19th year and counting. With the orignal hosts back them who was Boy Abunda, Rossana Roces and Lolit Solis. It was my first time to see a love show in the flesh as well how controversial and dramatic the industry can be, and it still is.
Now being able to feature kapuso shows and news on my blog, my memory of startalk still lingers whenever I get inside the compound. Time did pass, hosts come and go, segments have evolved and yet the flavor of showbiz, the actors, the explosive news and the rivers of tears shed on the live show became history and became a foundation for StarTalk to be the showbiz authority.
Now on its 19th year, close to two decades like Bubble Gang, StarTalk is now hosted currently by Joey De Leon, Heart Evangelista, Butch Francisco, and Lolit Solis. It has always been a challenge to keep the show interesting with news from stars and how to make them engaging to viewers. Segments like the T! The Tigbak Authority, AlugBati, and blind items made pun of showbiz booboos and making them into comedy gold.
And even with many of the shows today have either reformatted, changed, canceled or transfered, StarTalk remains on its Saturday slot after Eat Bulaga. And now they are looking forward to more years of showbiz.
On this episode, they will feature Iya Villania-Arellano, who recently went back to the Kapuso network to engage in new projects. Check our video interview with her:
Next on the hot seat are host Joey De Leon and Lolit Solis who shares their experiences hosting the logest running showbiz talk show.
And finally, bride-to-be Heart Evangelista shares her thoughts and her excitement for her upcoming wedding and preparation with Senator Chiz Escudero.
Of course, we do wish StarTalk a happy anniversary and more showbiz exclusives in the future!
