"Ako ang may gustong lumabas. Sa akin kasi, sabi ko, sanay na ako sapangmatagalan na show. Kaya sabi ko,kailangan may bago kung babalik ako," explains Joey de Leon about the newlyadded segment of Wow Mali!, which requires him to goout and interview people.
For those who missed the original and long-running gag show Wow Mali!, watch for itscomeback this Sunday, February 22, on TV5.
On its comeback after two years of being off the air, masterprankster Joey de Leon will be introducing a new segment aside from classic jokes andbloopers. "Nadagdagan siya ng portions,kasi dati puro good time lang. Ngayon, may parlor games," narrated the veterancomedian.
Aside from conducting parlor games, host Wow Mali!will travel around Metro Manila to conduct the hilarious segment called "‘WowMare, Wow Pare, Ang Sarap Magdebate."
Joey explained, "Bukod sa mga dati,mayroon kaming ilalagay na parang parlor games. Dati hindi ako lumalabas, e. Ngayon, lumalabas ako, pumupunta ako sa mga beauty parlor, nagko-contestako sa mga bading. 'Yon, riot 'yon! Ano talaga, Q&A at saka mga idea nila samga bagay-bagay, pinagdedebate ko.
"Malawak ang ginawa ko pero comical tulad ng ‘Paano kung papalitanang pangalan ng Pilipinas? Kungpapalitan mo ang design ng bandila ng Pilipinas, ano ang design? Kung mare-reincarnate ka ulit, kaninongkatawang artista ang gusto mong pasukan?' Mayroon mga questions nakakatuwa."
With this new segment, it's not surprising that the funnymanactually participated in conceptualizing this new addition to Wow Mali!
"Ako lahat, lagi kasali ako [sa conceptualization]," saidJoey. "Hindi ko sinusukat, pero lagiakong kasali. Noong araw, hindi akosumasali diyan, ini-introduce ko lang yung good time sa labas, mga footages salabas. Kunwari, nag-[shoot] sila salabas, ini-intro ko lang. Ngayon, mayportion ako talaga na ako 'yong lumalabas. May participation ako ngayon."
Aside from these parlor games, Wow Mali!will still feature its traditional candid camera set-up not only in Manila but also in other provinces such as Laoag, Vigan, Baguio, Pampanga, Bicol, and Quezon Province.
The show also features classic celebrity pranks,with Midnight DJ star Oyoboy Sotto as the first celebrityvictim.
