"Si Ate Kris kasi, we talk," admitted E-Live's Toni Gonzaga, but adds, "Even before she made this decision, kinausap na niya ako, si Mariel [Rodriguez] at si Bianca [Gonzalez]. Tatlo naman kami."

Isa si Toni Gonzaga sa mga napapabalitang papalit kay Kris Aquino bilang host ng The Buzz at SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon ng ABS-CBN.

Desisyon ni Kris na tumigil muna sa paghu-host ng mga talk shows habang pangulo ng Pilipinas ang kanyang kapatid na si Sen. Noynoy Aquino. Gaganapin ang presidential oath-taking sa June 30, at si Kris ay huling magbo-broadcast sa SNN on June 25, at sa The Buzz naman sa June 27.

Kahapon, May 29, nakapanayam ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Toni sa Stars For A Cause, isang fund-raising variety show ng Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) sa entertainment plaza ng SM North EDSA, Quezon City.

AWARDS FOR HOSTING. Sinabi ni Toni na malaki ang pasasalamat niya sa nasabing grupo ng mga showbiz editors and columnists dahil sa mga awards na iginawad sa kanya noong 2006, bilang Best Female TV Host for ASAP '06, at noong 2009 bilang Best Female Showbiz-Oriented Show Host for Entertainment Live.

"Kaya ako nandito ay dahil nagpapasalamat ako sa PMPC dahil last year ay ni-recognize nila ang kakayahan at abilidad ko," masayang bungad ni Toni.

Ang pagkilalang ito ang isa sa mga rasong ibinibigay kung bakit puwedeng si Toni ang pumalit kay Kris pag binakante na ng huli ang upuan sa The Buzz at SNN.

Pero ang sabi ni Toni, "Hindi ko pa iniisip ang mga gano'ng bagay. Kasi, right now, I'm very thankful dahil pinagkakatiwalaan ako ng management sa mga shows na meron ako ngayon, kaya I'm just really thankful sa lahat ng blessings. Hindi ko iniisip masyado yung gano'n para hindi ako ma-pressure."

Ayon kay Toni, hindi lang naman siya ang blessed sa ABS-CBN, kundi marami pang kapwa niya Kapamilya.

Nasabi tuloy ng kanyang Entertainment Live co-host na si Mariel Rodriguez na kung merong isang humble na tao sa industriya, ito ay si Toni, na hindi ipinagmamayabang ang kanyang mga endorsements, investments, atbp.

"Si Mariel talaga," tumawa lang si Toni sa papuri ni Mariel. "Kasi, dito sa showbiz... it pays to be humble...

"Siyempre, masarap yung feeling na nakakatulong ka sa family mo... Maraming bagay na pangarap mo ay nakukuha mo. It inspires you to do better and to keep on learning and exploring to try new things."

TALKS WITH KRIS. Siya na nga ba ang papalit kay Kris sa mga shows na iiwanan nito?

"Ayoko pa sanang magsalita," sabi ni Toni. "May meeting... may meeting kami. Ang hirap kasi, si Ate Kris kasi, we talk. Nag-uusap kami ni Ate Kris. Even before she made this decision, kinausap na niya ako, si Mariel at si Bianca [Gonzalez]. Tatlo naman kami.

"Tinext ako ni Ate Kris. She told me something like personal, so I don't wanna really share it right now. Basta, one thing I'll say, that I will never get tired of saying this, I will always admire her for what she did to her family. Na kaya niyang i-give up ang isang bagay na mahal na mahal niya at gustong-gusto niyang gawin. Alang-alang sa pamilya niya.

"So, yun na lang muna siguro. I will have a meeting this week. And we'll see it from there."

bkit si toni? though she's very good in hosting coz she's smart and intelligent she's not certified intrigera.tama c chinita,walang kaabang abang sa kanya,playing safe sa pagsagot ng mga showbiz issues, kaya magiging boring lang ang POV.aminin natin ung pagiging taclesa ni kris ang nagbibigay kulay sa the buzz,e ano pa iniexpect natin kay toni kundi yung mga praises at pasweet nya sa mga iniinterview nya.kaya dry panoorin ang Elive at mas inaabangan ng marami ang startalk kc mas may angas mang intriga ang mga hosts doon.in short, hindi bagay sa personality ni toni ang the buzz, tama na c kc doon na isa pang pasweet.. ung walang takot magbigay ng POV ang ipalit kay kris,, mas maintriga mas kaabang abang.

Hay naku kunyari lang yan pagpapalutang ng pangalan ng Dos pero ang totoo alagan na naman ni Boy ang ipapalit. Super swapang sa projects si Boy. Gusto nya lahat nalang ng show sa alaga nya mapunta. Kunyari pa nalulungkot sa pag-alis ni Kris pero wag ka nakaabang na si Aiai at si Mariel na pumalit kay Kris.

You can have many hyped-up hosts to replace kris aquino who appear interesting, as u say, or who will bring attention to the show. But how proven amp; effective are they in the long run? Maybe exciting at first, but that can fade away very easily. Once the hype is gone, what are you left with? In the end, it's all about having the most skilled interviewer who can bring out the best in their guests. I think Toni is great with that.

If she's not for the Buzz, then give Toni her own show.

I agree. Tony in The Buzz, together with Boy and KC. Karylle on E-live, I think she'll do good in hosting and she's smart too. Pwedeng-pwede sya isabay kela Mariel and Bianca, not to mention she's also tall like the other 2 hosts so I think she'll be a good replacement for Tony.

I think toni gonzaga is the best replacement for Kris Aquino. She is very professional and smart too.

Ito ang maganda sa ABS-CBN: May sucession ng mga stars. Tama si Sir Gabby, stars come and go but the institution stays.

I don't think Vina Morales is a good host. She has a very irritating voice. And wala naman ibuga sa hosting.

Magandang suggestion si Vina Morales.

Pero why not gawing:

SNN: Luis Manzano and Phoemela Barranda.
E-Live: Iya Villania, Bianca Gonzales, Nikki Gil, Billy Crawford
The Buzz: Boy Abunda, Toni Gonzaga, KC Concepcion

Tapos sana yung Kanto Boys na talaga sa Wowowee!

Well, not a bad thought at all. Toni, Mariel and Bianca are the right people. Every host or hostess job description begins with the DRESS. To be an EFFECTIVE host/hostess you must begin with your dress. These 3 ladies can really draw attentions from televiewers. Thumbs up!!!

I am an avid fan of Toni since then.

Most of all because she is a decent girl compared to many female stars of today.

She is a very smart and regal dresser especially in gown.

Toni is very natural in hosting and hope she keeps it that way unlike KC pilit na pilit talaga.

I've just read that Tony is also a good hot dancer.

My only apprehension is that there might be comparison again with Kris and I don' t know why some people just like intriga.

Even if you, I'm referring to a few posters here, can hide behind your usernames, what you post still reflect who you are. Those who post personal attacks are narrow-minded and unable to think of any interesting thing to say.
