Overview
[edit]Originally produced by Willie Revillame's WBR Entertainment Productions Inc., it served as a blocktimer on GMA Network.

In June 2017, co-host Super Tekla was fired from the show.[4] On September 30, 2019, Sugar Mercado and comedian Donita Nose returned to the show.[5]
The show's Saturday edition, Wowowin Primetime premiered on February 15, 2020, on the network's Sabado Star Power sa Gabi line up replacing Daddy's Gurl.[6] Gab Valenciano, who was hired in January 2020 served as the director.[7] In March 2020, the admission of a live audience in the studio and production were suspended due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] The show resumed its programming on April 13, 2020.[9]
