Joey: Wally’s return in ‘Eat Bulaga!’ management’s decision

MANILA, Philippines- Joey de Leon says it was the management’s decision to have Wally Bayola back in “Eat Bulaga!”

“Magaling naman siya, e,” Joey said in an interview Monday night, Feb. 24. “Move ng management ‘yon. Kami tumahimik lang.”

Wally made a comeback on the show during Jose Manalo’s birthday, where he apologized to the public and to his co-hosts as well for the mistake he committed.

“Kung anong nakikita ninyo ‘yon na ‘yon, e,” Joey replied when asked how the hosts reacted on Wally’s return. “Mas malala pa nga ang eskandalo ng iba. ‘Yong iba nga nagiging artista pa.”

Before Wally made an appearance again on the show, the hosts of “Eat Bulaga!” already met him. At that time Joey recalled, “binati niya ako, tapos ginawa ko hinawakan ko bird niya tapos sabi ko, ‘kamusta na?’”

“Nagkamali, nag-sorry naman siya, e,” he adds.

Back to sitcoms

Meanwhile, Joey is back to doing sitcoms with his upcoming show in TV5, “One of the Boys.” It is an addition to his existing show “Wow Mali Pa Rin.”

Here he will play the role of Daddy Jerry or DJ, the father of Eula Caballero’s character. He is a car mechanic while his daughter is a tricycle driver.

“Wala naman ginagawa pa, e,” Joey replied when asked how he was convinced to do a sitcom. “Easy-easy lang naman, hindi naman heavy.”

Joey is one of the well-known personalities when it comes to comedy. But no matter how long it may be, his jokes and punch lines never fail to make people laugh.

Everyone can learn how to be a comedian or comedienne, but the comedian-actor-TV host admires a comedian more if they know how to write.

“Ang pinakahinahangaan kong komedyante ‘yong nakakasulat,” he said, even citing Michael V. who gives input for “Bubble Gang” and “Pepito Manaloto.” “Kung makakasulat ka para sa iba pang gustong magpatawa, mas saludo ako do’n.”

That’s why when he was asked what he can advise up and coming comedians he immediately replied, “magsulat sila!”
