Vice Ganda on international artists noticing 'Kalokalike' contestants: 'Nakakatuwa'

"It's Showtime" has been making big waves with its segment "Kalokalike," thanks to the contestants who nail their impressions of international artists.

During the show's mediacon for its 15th anniversary at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Quezon City on Friday, host Vice Ganda expressed her amazement at their reach.

"Nakakatuwa, kasi ibig sabihin ang lala ng reach. Ang lawak lawak ng inaabot ng mga programang itong umeere sa GMA, GTV, Kapamilya network... 'Yung digital reach ang lawak lawak," she said.

"Ang active ng mga madlang people sa social media, isa 'yang paraan kaya nakakarating sa ibang bansa, sa malalayong mga tao 'yung mga ganap dito."

No less than Bruno Mars and Snoop Dogg saw and reacted to the contestants who recently impersonated them on the show.

Bruno reposted an Instagram Reel of his impersonator, while Snoop commented on a video and said, "Wow get it nefew!"

"Nakakaaliw kasi naaaliw rin 'yung mga taong involved. Na-ha-happy sila," Vice said. "Siguro natutuwa rin sila na malaman nilang, 'Ay sikat pala kami sa Pilipinas.'"

"Si Bruno Mars ay laging nandidito, pero si Snoop Dogg 'di pa nakakapunta dito," she added.

Vice is also happy to see that many people are watching "It's Showtime."

"Kasi 'yun naman ang hangad nating lahat, na 'yung ginagawa nating programa ay 'di lang tayo-tayo ang nakakakita, tayo-tayo lang ang nag-eenjoy," she said. "Nakakatuwa siya, ibig sabihin nagtatagumpay ang ginagawa natin."

"It's Showtime" will be celebrating its 15th anniversary with their annual "Magpasikat," which will air from October 21 to 26.
