Wazzup Wazzup
Encyclopedia
Wazzup Wazzup was a comedic-news program which was previously aired on Philippine
television network Studio 23
. The show features Vhong Navarro
, Toni Gonzaga
, and Archie Alemania
as news anchors who introduce segments that are delivered by 'tadjocks' (a pun
on the Tagalog
word "tadyak", which means "kick" or "to kick").
In the show's first season, the news anchors were Vhong Navarro
, Toni Gonzaga
and Drew Arellano
. Conflicts with Arellano's programs on rival GMA Network
forced him to give up the show to focus on other programs he had with GMA.
Although no admission or comment had been released by ABS CBN, Wazzup Wazzup was notably very similar in form and concept with the popular Argentine show CQC
which has been adapted and shown in five other countries.
Wazzup Wazzup aired its last episode on July 2007.
