Rufa Mae Teases About Joining It’s Showtime as a Regular
RUFA MAE QUINTO – Kapuso comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto joked about becoming a regular host on It’s Showtime.
Laughter and fun filled the noontime show ‘It’s Showtime’ once again this Friday (September 6). The energy levels soared even higher thanks to Kapuso comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto. The comedian joined as a special guest judge for the popular segment “Kalokalike,” starting from Monday (September 2).
Rufa’s lively presence on the show didn’t go unnoticed, prompting the ‘It’s Showtime’ family to tease her. Vice Ganda jokingly remarked that it seemed like Rufa Mae wanted to become a regular on the show.
“Nagme-meeting ‘yung mga staff kahapon. Sabi nila, ‘Paano ba natin pauwiin si Rufa Mae?’ Hindi na daw umuuwi. Kasi ang usapan one day guesting lang ito. Ginawa niyang regular ang sarili niya. Kaya araw-araw pumapasok siya,” Vice quipped. “Kailan ka talaga uuwi? Teh, talagang naging regular [ka] na.”
Rufa Mae playfully responded, “Hindi nga, hanggang Sunday nandito ako, ‘di ba?”
Everyone was entertained by Rufa Mae’s energy. The hosts even joked about giving them a discount on her talent fee.
“Sige, pwede naman basta ano I sign my regular. I sign my regular nga lang,” Rufa Mae laughed.
Vice continued the teasing, “Tapos kahapon natapos ang [It’s] Showtime, nandito pa mga alas tres. [Sabi ng staff], ‘Ms. Rufa Mae, tapos na po ba’t ‘di kayo umuuwi?’ [Sagot ni Rufa], ‘Baka may brainstorm ng mga bagong segment.’”
The audience burst into laughter as Rufa Mae and Vice shared their dressing room moments.
“Actually hinahanap ko ‘yung dressing mo kahapon. Hindi ka nandoon kahapon,” Rufa Mae said.
“Lumipat ako kasi natagpuan niya na ako. Sinasabi niya, ‘My friend Meme, ano bagong segment natin dyan?’ [Sabi ko], ‘Huh? Nag-iisip pa kami’,” Vice bantered.
In the end, they thanked Rufa Mae for being a judge on “Kalokalike.” However, the fun didn’t stop there when Rufa Mae humorously added, “I’m happy happy super kasi sabi ko nga sa’yo ‘di ba, ang gagaling ninyong lahat kaya gusto ko gumising nang nakangiti rin sa mukha kahit sandali. Kaya I regular and approve myself. Hindi na basta regular i-approved ko na.”
