Here’s what Ogie Diaz shared about the absence of Vice Ganda in It’s Showtime.
What is the reason behind the prolonged absence of Vice Ganda in It’s Showtime? Showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz has this to share.
The business unit head and someone who serves as the lead host of the popular noontime show “It’s Showtime” is Vice Ganda. The well-loved comedian’s role in the noontime show is one of the biggest reasons behind the show’s strong standing through the years and its success.

However, recently, what has been making a buzz online is Vice’s prolonged absence from the noontime show. There were speculations, and some have expressed that this could be her well-deserved break after working hard and almost every day for the show ever since it began.
Some people online have noticed the low energy in the show during her absence, and they are missing Vice’s energy. It’s not surprising people are noticing that because she has a very distinct presence on the show. Often, she’s the one bringing the humor, quick comebacks, and spontaneous moments that keep the show lively.
In a recent video, Ogie Diaz shared that, based on what he has heard, Vice is currently dealing with a swollen foot.
He also mentioned reports that Vice may have accepted an offer related to Drag Race Philippines.
Despite this, Ogie emphasized that he is confident Vice will return. From what he knows about the superstar, there are times when she experiences burnout, and during those moments, she chooses to step back, process her feelings, and take a break before eventually coming back refreshed and re-energized.
There are also speculations about her plans to have a baby. Vice mentioned before that she was advised to take a break for three months to produce healthy sperm, and Diaz expressed that he is supportive of this, as Vice can also take this time to rest, a well-deserved one after working non-stop for many years.
Vice has been the main source of comedy and banter, an energy booster in their segments, and has been relied on heavily when it comes to interacting with other hosts and audience members.
