“SNL” was headlined by stars who had been on “ASAP” such as Piolo Pascual, Maja Salvador, Catriona Gray and Donny Pangilinan.
“LOL,” meanwhile, has former “It’s Showtime” host Billy Crawford, Alex Gonzaga, Bayani Agbayani, KC Montero and Isabelle Daza.
ABS-CBN has yet to have its franchise renewed after Congress voted against the franchise in July. The media giant has had to retrench workers, while other talents were allowed to have projects in other networks.
A partnership with Zoe Broadcasting Network this October has brought some of the network’s shows on air again through the rebranded A2Z. These include “It’s Showtime” and “ASAP.” /ra
