Funny yet honest
Vice Ganda, called 'Pambansang Hurado' in 'Showtime,' gained so many fans due to his funny antics as he also gives tough but honest comments to the contestants. And why does Vice Ganda think people like him?
"Yung pagiging totoo ko siguro kaya sila nakaka-relate. Kase matalino naman ang mga audience eh. Alam nila kung pangit o maganda yung performance. Kaya alam nila kung yung judge ay sinu-sugarcoat yung comments eh," Vice Ganda said.
The TV host said that he reads comments on Twitter and Facebook and rarely gets messages which are against him. Vice Ganda admits it's his humor and being relatable to the audiences which make people love him.
"At isa pa siguro kaya sila nananatiling nakatutok sa akin kase nabibigay ko sa kanila yung gusto nilang tawa, yung gusto nilang pakiramdam habang nanunuod sa akin. Kasi alam ko na hirap na hirap ang buhay ng mga Pilipino. Tawa lang talaga ang mabibigay ko. At nung nabigay ko sa kanila iyon, at na-appreciate nila, pinagpatuloy ko iyon," Vice told Yahoo! OMG Philippines.
