"Parang anak ko na rin 'yan," says Dolphy about Willie Revillame (inset). As part of his fatherly advice, the patriarch of the Quizon clan told the Wowowee host: "Huwag ka na muna tumakbo, tutal marami ka nang napapaligaya sa show mo, marami ka nang natutulungan.' Bihira mong makamtam ang magic na 'yan. Hanggang nandiyan ang magic, samantalahin mo."

Eric, who also acts in the movie as Dolphy's son, attested to how Dolphy's sense of humor has remained sharp. Eric narrated that in one scene, the King of Comedy cracked jokes that sometimes distracted Gloria Romero (who is cast as Dolphy's long-lost love). "May isang beses, sa take one, nag-ad-lib si Daddy, tumawa si Ms. Gloria. Then take two, ibang punchline naman yung binigay niya, natawa uli si Ms. Gloria. Humirit si Tita Glo, kung puwede ulitin na lang niya ang una niyang punchline para hindi na siya matawa."

As the co-producer of Juan, Eric also expressed his gratitude to ABS-CBN for waiving licensing fees for the trademark of Wowowee.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked the King of Comedy if there was still any role that he would like to do in the future. He revealed, "Meron kaming plano, pari ako. Lumalaban sa prinsipyo. Hindi pa ako gumaganap ng pari kasi very touchy."

WHY WOWOWEE? This movie was partly inspired by the concept of the 2009 Oscar Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire, which showed how a young man changed his life by joining a game show.

PEP asked co-producer Joe Aldeguer why they opted to tap Wowowee and not other game shows.

"You want to make sure that the movie is current. Right now, in the United States, people watch Wowowee. It's on three times a day, every day. In the United States, Wowowee is more popular. It's all about timing," explained Joe.

Incidentally, Joe Aldeguer is also cast in the movie as one of Dolphy's sons. He was born in the Philippines but migrated to the United States when he was three years old. He works as a radio and TV personality in Chicago.

The cast members shot the movie for 13 days in the Philippines and six days in Chicago. Eddie Garcia, Heart Evangelista, Eugene Domingo, Pokwang, Vandolph, Epy Quizon and G Tongi are also part of the movie.

Nobody, Nobody... But Juan! will open in cinemas nationwide starting Christmas Day, December 25.
