Following the shutdown of ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya’, Paolo Contis allegedly ran to the dressing room and cried.
PAOLO CONTIS – The TV host and actor was deeply affected by the end of their noontime show Tahanang Pinakamasaya.”
Reports surfaced that he ran to the dressing room and cried after learning about the show’s conclusion. Showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin revealed this on her program. “Totoong-totoo po na tumakbo agad si Paolo Contis sa dressing room at doon humagulhol. Ayaw po niyang magpakita sa harap ng mga camera sa kaniyang pagluha, sa kaniyang pag-iyak, paghagulhol,” she said.
“Siguro naiisip din niya: ‘Naku, lalo akong maba-bash nito dahil dati-rati ang lakas-lakas kong magsalita ng masasakit. Ang lakas kong mangantiyaw. Baka ngayon ‘pag nakita ako lalo akong i-bash.’ ‘Yon siguro ang nasa isip niya, ‘no?” she added.
Paolo’s emotional reaction might stem from concerns about potential backlash due to his past controversial remarks. Despite criticisms, Cristy sympathizes with Paolo, acknowledging the pressure he faced as a prominent host. “Sa dinami-dami nilang mga nagho-host ng ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya,’ siya ‘yong talagang laging iniuumang sa laban. Siya ‘yong para bang 1 milyon ang talent fee araw-araw,” she said.
The speculation about the show’s end began circulating earlier, with noticeable changes in the hosts’ demeanor during the final episodes. Currently, Paolo is not yet ready to discuss the end of their show.
Meanwhile, “Tahanang Pinakamasaya!” was a variety show aired on weekdays and Saturdays, rebranded from “Eat Bulaga!” due to a trademark dispute. The dispute stemmed from an internal conflict within TAPE Inc.’s management, resulting in the resignation of hosts and production members from “Eat Bulaga!”
The show resumed with new hosts and segments after the dispute was resolved. However, due to low ratings, it ended on March 2, 2024, and began airing replays of past episodes. The hosts included Paolo Contis, Isko Moreno, Buboy Villar, Betong Sumaya, Cassy Legaspi, Mavy Legaspi, and others, featuring various segments like “Kaya Mo Yan!”, “G sa Gedli”, and “Duet For Love”.
