ABS-CBN’s “It’s
Showtime” is now the most watched noontime show in the country as it
zoomed to the top in May with an average national TV rating of 15.2%,
compared to GMA’s “Eat Bulaga” with only 12.9%, based on the latest data
from Kantar Media.
The performance of
“It’s Showtime” was boosted by its hit segment “Kalokalike,” which held
its semi-finals for two weeks before its much-anticipated grand finals
last Saturday (June 1).
The “Kalokalike” grand finals earned a notably high 26.8% national TV rating, while “Eat Bulaga” only managed 13.2%.
Fresh from its
success, the Twitter-trending segment kicked off its new season called
“Kalokalike Face 2” yesterday as it continues to search for the wackiest
impersonators and look-alikes of local and international celebrities.
Interested madlang
people may nominate or e-mail their own photos or videos, plus the name
of the Kalokalike, name of the celebrity, and contact number to kalokalike.itsshowtime@gmail. com.
