The TV host-comedian decided to launch his own network following Congress’ denial of ABS-CBN’s application for a franchise renewal last month.
He told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that he is open to inviting stars from GMA 7 as guests since his network is not bound by exclusivities or restrictions. Vice Ganda also intends to use his platform to help standup comedians who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. JB
