ASIDE FROM 'WOW MALI' on TV 5 that returned on air last Sunday night, Joey de Leon has another new show, "Joey's Quirky World", to start on March 1, also a Sunday, 11:30 AM before "SOP" on GMA-7. This will also be shown on Saturdays, before "Eat Bulaga". The show was formally introduced to the press last Monday and Joey was absent in "Eat Bulaga" then to attend the presscon
His assistants in the show are Ryan Yllana, who plays two roles as Vicky Bola and as Madam Bondat, a fortuneteller who foresees people's quirkiness in her crystal ball; and Cookie, Belly and Boobay, a triple-headed gypsy assigned to research on quirky places, signage, activities and habits exclusive to Pinoys. They also hosted the hit "Takeshi's Castle" whose last season with GMA-7 just ended. Just like "Takeshi", "Quirky World" is also produced by the Japanese but aired on the Korean Arirang channel.
We tell Joey that local viewers might not be able to understand the meaning of the word "quirky". "E, walang magagawa," he says. "Yun talaga ang original title ng show and we just added my name to give it a more local flavor.. Hopefully, makatulong ito to educate viewers para tingnan nila sa dictionary what quirky means."
The show takes viewers all over the world as it shows video clips of weird, grotesque and bizarre incidents and trivia. "Per taping, I tape three episodes kaya hindi naman ito masyadong time-consuming. Maraming kakaibang incidents ang pinapakita rito, tulad noong restaurant sa Japan na unggoy ang waiters at yung restaurant sa Thailand na hinahagis-hagis ang mga plato ng ulam hanggang sa makarating sa kakaing customer."
Joey started on TV in "Okay Lang" in 1971 and since then, he has had more than 60 shows in all channels. "Ako lang ang naging co-host ng lahat ng big stars natin, from Vilma and Nora to Sharon and Maricel, sa musical variety shows nila. I'm confident na if viewers like 'Takeshi', they'd enjoy 'Joey's Quirky World' even more as it has more entertaining and informative sequences."
What can Joey say about Willie Revillame's remark made while being interviewed on his hospital bed? Willie said that he's watching "Eat Bulaga" at "mas maganda pa rin ang show natin (Wowowee)." At first, Joey doesn't want to answer this. "Let's just talk about 'Joey's Quirky World'," he says.
But when he was pressed for a comment, he adds: "When you write about this, please make it clear that hindi ako ang nagpasimula, huh. Tinanong nyo lang ako kaya sumagot ako. Sa totoo lang, napanood din namin yung sinabi niya sa 'Eat Bulaga' kasi may monitor kami sa studio para alam namin ang ginagawa ng kalaban. Malou (Choa-Fagar, their executive producer) said, 'Huwag na lang nating pansinin.' E, talagang hindi na namin papansinin kasi ganun naman siya talaga. Basta ang nasabi ko na lang, 'May sakit na nga, walanghiya pa rin.' Akala ko, nagkabati na kami, e. Sabi pa niya, gumawa raw kami ng movie. E, siguro, kailangan din ng show niya na mapag-usapan uli. Hindi na siguro talaga mawawala sa kumpetisyon ang ganyan. Siguro, ganun lang talaga siyang tao."
Expect the word war between Joey and Willie to be activated once again.
