Matapos ang sampung taon bilang regular host ng The Buzz ay tuluyan nang namaalam si Kris Aquino sa show na naging saksi sa pagyabong ng kanyang career gayundin sa mga pangyayari at problema sa kanyang personal na buhay. Kahapon, June 27, ang naging huling araw ni Kris sa Sunday showbiz talk show ng ABS-CBN.
June 13, 1999 nang magsimulang mag-guest co-host si Kris sa The Buzz. Nang sumunod na taon, 2000, opisyal nang naging bahagi ng show si Kris bilang host. Hanggang kahapon nga nang siya'y magpaalam na sa programa nila nina Boy Abunda at KC Concepcion.
Nauna nang sinabi ni Kris na nagdesisyon siyang iwan ang pagho-host sa kanyang dalawang showbiz talk shows—The Buzz at SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon)—upang makaiwas sa mga matitinding intriga at nang hindi makaladkad ang pangalan ng kanyang kuya na si President-elect Noynoy Aquino.
"I just don't want to be a burden," bungad ni Kris. "I didn't want na my stay here could have a negative effect on my brother. And I didn't feel na my personal life or my personal views should have an effect on him. On Wednesday [June 30] is the day na inaasahan nating lahat na may mga pagbabago, may mga magandang mangyayari, the day for the Philippines to hope again."
BIG SACRIFICE. Sa kanyang emosyonal na pamamaalam, inamin ni Kris na malaking sakripisyo para sa kanya na iwanan ang mga shows kung saan siya nakilala at sumikat.
"To my family...thank you, Ate [Ballsy], for acknowledging na it's really a sacrifice. Kasi ten years...ang tagal pala, ang dami palang nangyari talaga. But I was able to let go two things that I felt I was good at, na in-acknowledge din naman sa punto na itong genre na ito was ours. And readily, pinilit ko sa sarili ko na sabihin kong kaya with no assurances about what's next," saad niya.
May pag-aalinalangan din daw si Kris, pero mas pinili nga niyang gawin ito para sa kanyang pamilya kasabay ang pag-asam na sana anuman ang susunod niyang gawin sa career niya ay ma-appreciate pa rin ng mga tao.
"In the same way na sinabi ko sa ate ko, nasa-sad ako kasi natatakot ako, kasi ito talaga yung alam kong gawin," sabi niya. "Ito yung alam ko na magaling ako sa ginagawa kong ito. And paano kung 'yong next project na ibibigay nila sa akin, paano kung hindi na ako kasing galing doon. But, in the same way na siguro nagtiwala ang Pilipinas kay Noy... Kasi nakita nila na he was sincere in his desire to make a better country and not have personal gains from this. Ganoon din siguro ang naging decision ko na binigay mo na ang lahat, e, alangan naman may part pa na, 'Hindi, ibigay ninyo sa akin ito.' So, binigay na lang lahat."
Marami raw siyang natutunan at maraming nagbago sa kanyang buhay sa sampung taon niyang pananatili sa The Buzz.
"You know it's really been a learning experience. Siguro kung nakita n'yo yung VTR na 'yan, from 29 to 39 [Kris's age], di ba? Parang malaki na rin siguro ang nabago sa buhay ko. Malaking nabago sa mga pananaw ko. And malaki ang nabago sa core kasi tumibay."
IN GRATITUDE. Pinasalamatan ni Kris ang taumbayan sa pagbibigay ng tiwala hindi lang sa kanya kundi pati kay President Noynoy at sa buong pamilya nila.
"Gusto ko lang hong pasalamatan kayong lahat kasi alalang-alala ko pa nung nasabi ko kay Noy na, 'What if you lose?' Sabi ko, 'What happens to all of us?' And then sinabi niya, 'Nobody goes to a battle thinking they are going to lose.' And biniyayaan nga siya ng napakalaking tiwala.
"Ako naman po, nabiyayaan n'yo ako... For any television personality, you gave me the greatest gift. You gave me your time, you gave me your trust. You let me be my self and accepted me for me," pahayag ni Kris.
Sumunod niyang pinasalamatan ang kanyang network.
"Sa management ng ABS-CBN, it will be 14 years, thank you for letting me grow. Thank you for believing in me.... I thank you for the opportunity. For letting me become Kris Aquino."

She gave up money and fame for the simplest, most reasonable and very generous act a sister could be to pres. elect Noynoy Aquino? This is what proved to me that she is talkative as the job implies her the best of the best talker she could! but.....the truth is: she is very very modest enough and humble to give up the job she loves most and enjoy doing for the love to his brother!
It couldnt be anything more powerful above this reason Will you ever give up your job you are good at for the sake of your siblings? No way! She sacrifices things in her own way and we should celebrate with her this act of Truthfullness and Loyalty and her innate very loving

Kris Aquino became very successful and earned more money by being a controversial Kris Aquino while she enjoyed her privilege to be just herself. She experienced fully the freedom of expression as a pinay where most of us hypocrites are simply dreaming of. Most of the Celebrities and Politicians in our country are not free of expression because they are all fake and untruthfull to themselves so people wont criticize them! Sharon Cuneta gave us an example of an ideal, happy family in public but was she able to live and express herself honestly?
Was it really herself?
So, i wish i could be just be a K. A. to millions of filipinos and remain a top earner at the same time. I wish people will listen to me, the way she was able to do so. I wish i could make people watch my show with the same Enthusiasm for ten years the way K A. succeeded in doing so! KA left her job while enjoying the peak of its career where we might just be dreaming of reaching a peak of any career of our

career with steady high ratings? How could we be so envious and criticized her constantly where in fact she is just doing her job: To become a successful TV Talkshow Host nationwide, she must be entertaining enough with Sense, Humor and Dynamic! To be effectively entertaining, she must use her sharp-witty, intelligent thoughts by talking. She must be talkative. And gee...try to be talking most of the time and be listened to but at the same time delivering precise informations and knowledge plus eloguence in her speech and what shes talking about. Her strongest ass

I remember how she look down on a starlet, the way she sneer at her sa TV porque walang laban. Pati c AiAi dba she was her close quot;friendshipquot; pero during baby shower of James Jr. di cya na invite.Cyempre poor lang c AiAi e.
Kaya Karma lang nangyari sa kanya. All I can say is buti nga sa kanya. She deserves it. Reward for her evil ugali

Siyempre, expected ni Kris that by revealing na hiwalay sila ni James, pagkakaguluhan na naman siya at pag-uusapan ng buong Pilipinas.
Sabi ni Kris...Hindi na baleng inauguration ni Noy.... hindi na baleng lait-laitin na naman si James - tatay ni Baby James na anak ko...Basta..basta, ako ang pinakasikat at ako ang pag-uusapan.... tsk tsk tsk.
