Chad Kinis emerged as the champion of “LOL: Last One Laughing Philippines,” where he confessed that winning in a reality show has always been his dream.
Chad bested fellow comedians Jerald Napoles, Pepe Herrera, Victor Anastacio, Empoy Marquez, Tuesday Vargas, Rufa Mae Quinto, Jayson Gainza, Kim Molina, and Negi to win the one million peso cash prize on its final episode aired Thursday, July 18.
The six-episode series brings together 10 comedians to stay together at the “Bahay Ni Lola” where they’re faced with various challenges to test their various antics. But the catch is that no one is allowed to laugh, smile, or smirk for at least six hours.
The final stage of the competition was down to Chad and Napoles bringing their comedic chops to the test, where they had to make their fellow contestants laugh.
Chad was named the winner when he drew chuckles from Quinto and Marquez.
“May isa akong pangarap na gusto kong matupad (I have one dream that I wish to come true) which is to win a reality show. ‘Last One Laughing’ made me win,” he said. “I’ve never been a winner in my entire life and now I’m the winner of ‘Last One Laughing Philippines.’ I can’t believe it.”
Chad is best known for appearing in season two of “It’s Showtime’s” “Miss Q&A” segment in 2019, where he finished as second runner-up. He’s also part of the group Beks Batallion with Lassy Marquez and MC Muah Calaquian.
Hosted by Vice Ganda, the show is a local adaptation of the Japanese reality show “Documental” which brings together comedians in one house.
