THURSDAY | JULY 4, 2024 ntertainmentEDITOR: NATHALIE M. TOMADA l SUB-EDITOR: JERRY DONATO THE PHILIPPINE STAR C1 PICTURE THIS: A SHOWDOWN OF TOP COMEDIANS PULLING OUT every trick, antic, and punchline to crack each other up. But there’s a catch — no laughter allowed. The contestant who keeps a straight face until the end is declared the winner. This is the heart and source of laughter in Prime Video’s new game show, “LOL: Last One Laughing Philippines,” hosted by Vice Ganda.
For Vice, if there’s one word to describe the show, it’s “extraordinary.” “I always explain that it’s extraordinary. In a comedy contest, you expect the funniest to win, na yun lang ang basis. But here, the winner is the one who doesn’t laugh. Vice is also very proud of the line-up of contestants, saying, “It’s diverse, very exciting that’s why this program makes me proud.”
“Last One Laughing” is actually the Philippine version of a very successful, international franchise. The format became the most-watched title on Prime Video in Italy, France, and Germany. Versions in Mexico, Australia, India, Spain, Canada, The Netherlands, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and Sweden were also a hit.
Laughter, Vice believes, is a big part of our culture. “Although hindi na siya ngayon pero dati ‘di ba yung Philippines, siya yung dineclare na happiest country, happiest people.” “Kasi hindi ko alam kung may mga eskinita naman sa mga bansa nila kaya wala silang mashe-share na comedy about eskinita, the kanal humor. Baka wala silang sing itim ng kanal namin dito sa Pilipinas kaya wala silang mashe-share na kanal humor,” Vice further quipped.
“But that’s just one, a story about a Filipino mom. And here, there are so many real Filipino stories that our comedians will bring out in ‘LOL Philippines,’ so it’s different.
