Michael V. did not expect a temporary hosting stint on Family Feud to remind him how much he missed being a game show host.
Taking over the program while Dingdong Dantes tapes The Master Cutter, the Kapuso Comedy Icon said stepping back onto the stage brought back the excitement of meeting new people and seeing their personalities unfold through the game.
“Naku, napakasaya, miss na miss ko na ‘yung pagho-host. Matagal ko nang iniisip-isip ‘to eh, na-miss ko nga ba o hindi? Pero nung sumalang na ako dito sa Family Feud, oo nga na-miss ko nga! At gusto ko ‘yung interaction, gusto ko ‘yung meeting new people at saka ‘yung mga sagot na binibigay nila para malaman mo ‘yung personality nila (Oh, it’s so much fun — I’ve really missed hosting. I had been wondering for a long time whether I actually missed it or not. But once I stepped onto the Family Feud stage, I realized — yes, I really did miss it! I love the interaction, meeting new people, and seeing the answers they give, which lets you get a glimpse of their personalities),” he said.
Michael V. also put his own stamp on the show’s face-off rounds by coming up with playful alternatives to the usual “hands on the table” instruction.
“Nilaro lang natin ng konti... Paborito ko ‘yung sa dancers. Kayang-kaya nilang mag-bend at mag-contort ng katawan nila, kaya pinahawak ko sila sa sahig (We just played around with it a bit... I really liked the one with the dancers. They are incredibly flexible and can contort their bodies, so I had them place their hands on the floor),” he shared.
The hosting stint adds another role to Michael V.’s packed television schedule, alongside Pepito Manaloto and Bubble Gang.
Family Feud airs weekdays at 5:35 p.m. on GMA Network.
