Joey De Leon on Willie Revillame, “May sakit na nga, walang hiya pa rin”

Despite of his busy schedule, Joey De Leon spent a little of his time and happily had a chit chat with the press people during the press conference of his new show on  GMA-7, “Joey’s Quirky World” starting on March 1, replacing Takeshi’s Castle every weekend morning (Before Eat Bulaga on Saturdays and before SOP on Sundays.)  The new show is a bit’ similar to some of the Japanese shows except that it will be featuring different countries around the globe and soon, there will be a local version of it as Joey revealed.

During the press conference, one of the reporters asked if Joey De Leon had already watched the latest episode of Wowowee where in his greatest detractor, main host Willie Revillame had a phone patch interview while he was in the hospital.  During the phone patch, Willie mentioned that he is watching GMA-7’s noon time show Eat Bulaga, and commented, “Nanunuod nga ako ng kalabang show,( Eat Bulaga), At in fairness mas maganda pa din ang show natin.”  Reporters asked Joey about his reaction on Willie’s juicy comment.

The TV host/comedian and journalist, Joey De Leon was a bit hesitant to answer the question and instead, tried to ignore the questions thrown upon him and even try not to come up with an answer and just dig in to his new show on GMA-7, “Joey’s Quirky World”.  But since, reporters are all very persistent, one of them insists to have his response to Willie Revillame. Joey De Leon was forced to answer it with, “Okay, sana ‘pag sinulat n’yo ito, hindi ako ang nagpasimula ha? Tinanong n’yo lang ako.” Joey clarifies. “Napanood din namin ito sa Eat Bulaga set. May monitor din kami ng kalabang show. Ganun’ naman talaga e, ‘pag magkatapat na parehong show, nagmo-monitor sa kalaban. Sabi saakin ni Malou Choa-Fagar (Joey’s Manager and Executive producer of Eat Bulaga),huwag na naming pansinin. Kami naman, hindi na lang namin pinapansin, talagang hindi na kami sasagot kasi, ganun naman talaga siya e.” (Referring to Willie Revillame).

Joey De Leon gave his final answer with, “Ang masasabi ko lang, May sakit na nga, walanghiya pa rin.” Before the press conference ended, one of the reporters asked again Joey De Leon if he is still mad at Willie Revillame. Joey De Leon confidently answered it with a NO. “talagang ganun lang siyang tao.”
