Vice Ganda recalls joining Eat Bulaga contest in the past

Vice Ganda reminisced about joining an amateur contest in Eat Bulaga while he was still starting out in showbiz.

During the July 12 episode of It's Showtime, the ABS-CBN host asked a Tawag ng Tanghalan contestant:

"Kilala mo ba si Ingrid Montecarlo?"

Vice Ganda then revealed:

"Si Ingrid Montecarlo ang Regine Velasquez ng Sta. Cruz, Maynila.

"Ako yun."

Vice Ganda informed his co-host Anne Curtis:

"Yun ang pangalan ko nang manalo ako sa Eat Bulaga dati, sa O Diva."

Anne asked him why he chose the name Ingrid and the comedian explained, "Kasi may clan-clan kaming mga bakla. Montecarlo clan ako dati.

"Sumali ako sa Eat Bulaga dati, O Diva yung contest. Kantahan, singing contest."
