Joey de Leon, one of the hosts of the longest-running noontime show Eat! Bulaga, is proud to be part of another long-running TV program, Startalk.

"Si Lolit [Solis] na lang sa ngayon ang part ng original Startalk. Original hosts niyan yata sila Kris Aquino at Boy Abunda. Tapos, marami na din nag-graduate.

"Ako'y natutuwa na lang na parte ako ng... Parang ang pangit sabihin—isang mahabang programang tungkol sa tsismis," Joey joked when he was interviewed by PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) last October 16 in Studio 6 of GMA Network Center where Startalk broadcasts every Saturday afternoon.

He added, "Lahat naman. Naging bahagi na ng entertainment world ang tsismis. Hindi natin maiiwasan 'yon. Talagang part na 'yon.

"Kaya nga hinamon ko noon ang mga artista na huwag lalabas ng bahay ng isang taon. Tahimik lang sila. Trabaho at bahay lang. Mamamatay yung tsismis industry.

"Hindi naman nila matiis. Sila din naman ang maingay at malikot. Kasalanan din nila."

For Joey, he still gets excited coming to the show every Saturday.

"Kung hindi n'yo lang alam, ang mga artista talaga yung number one tsismoso. Kami, ang unang salita namin sa Bulaga, 'Ano bago? Ano latest?'

"Kaya nga nauso sa amin yung 'Ganito na nga' or 'Heto na nga.' Yun yung first line namin nila Ruby [Rodriguez]. Yun yung famous line namin na starter namin," Joey said about trivia behind the camera.

"Minsan yung tsimis, nasa ilalim ng ilong mo," he continued. "Minsan yung kasama mo na yung natsitsismis.

"Siyempre, artista din ang laman ng Eat! Bulaga. May singer, actress, actors... Lahat ng entertainers, nagiging guests.

"Minsan nakikita mo doon yung mga umiiyak, nalulungkot, may away sa cell phone. E, di alam mo na yung nangyayari. Ganun talaga, yung tsismis, nandoon lang."

BIRTHDAY BOY GETS STUMPED. Before the short chitchat with the showbiz writers, the veteran TV host was put on the spot when he was interviewed by child wonder Jillian Ward, star of the afternoon television drama Trudis Liit.

Jillian shot her first question: "Ilang taon na po kayo?"

"Naku... Sa tingin mo, ilang taon na ako?" Joey laughed.

    joey is very much talented, truly an artist -- kaya nagtatagal ang mga shows, programs niya.

    boy, kris, rosanna then manay lolit were the first hosts of startalk, then na-pirate ng dos, para sa ibang programs.

    pero eto pa rin ang startalk buhay na buhay -- ang mga programs ng naging co-hosts, ayaw man nating sabihin, naghihingalo na.

    but credit must also be given to them dahil sila ang nag-umpisa nito.
