ABS-CBN’s noontime show “It’s Showtime” is all set for a star-studded show this Saturday (Jan 26) for its opening salvo to introduce its all-new segments with exciting prizes for its loyal ‘madlang people.’

Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta will add glitter and unleash their inner crazy in the comedic skit “Sine Mo ‘To,” while Journey vocalist and Pinoy pride Arnel Pineda will render a world-class performance.

Don’t miss the relaunch of the “Arte Mo” segment and its new P1 million jackpot round with celebrity players from the cast of “Aryana,” “Kahit Puso’y Masugatan,” “Luv U,” “Angelito: Batang Ama,” and celebity mentors Joy Viado, Cacai Bautista, KitKat, and Sexbomb Girls.

The original version, meanwhile, involves celebrity mentors and will continue to showcase the fun and creativity of ordinary Filipino families on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and in weekly finals on Fridays.

Aside from this big change, “It’s Showtime” also opens a grand competition to all impersonators in “Kalokalike,” a search for people who can best imitate their popular showbiz idols based on appearance, behavior, and performance.

‘Madlang people’ also face a new challenge in “Makina Matibay,” which was already introduced this week, where a group of people competes with a machine to determine which of them does better certain mechanical tasks such as scraping coconuts and crushing ice.

Kuya Kim Atienza, meanwhile, will throw a blazing birthday bash on Thursday (Jan 24) as he battles with balladeers Dingdong Avanzado and Raymond Lauchenco in a singing showdown of 80’s hits.

Party with the beefed up “It’s Showtime” with hosts Anne, Vice Ganda, Vhong Navarro, Billy Crawford, Karylle, Kuya Kim Atienza, Teddy Corpuz, Jugs Jugueta, Jhong Hilario, Ryan Bang, Coleen Garcia, at Eric ‘Eruption’ Tai, Saturday noon (Jan 26) on ABS-CBN.

Jhaypee Laganas is 'It's Showtime' First Ever Teen Millionaire

Fifteen-year old high school student Jhaypee Laganas became the first teen to bag the P1 million jackpot prize in ABS-CBN’s noontime show “It’s Showtime.” 

Jhaypee said he did not go to school on Friday (Aug 3) to try his luck in the Kapamilya program’s “Arte Mo” game, which looked for magicians for contestants. 

“This is the answer to my prayers. I would always tell the Lord that I was willing to wait for an opportunity so I can help my family get by,” said Jhaypee, who also teaches kids the Bible using magic. He also said he wants to use his total jackpot prize of P1,010,000 to pay for his sick grandfather’s medical bills and his and his brother’s schooling. 

The “Showtime Goodtime” segment is the jackpot round for the winner of the noontime show’s “Arte Mo” game. The contestant needs to get the “It’s” ball from a raffle barrel in order to advance to the next letter in the word “Showtime.” If the contestant advances to the letter E without getting two “X” balls, he wins the P1 million prize. 

Party with the ‘unkabogable’ barkada of Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, ‘Kuya’ Kim Atienza, Billy Crawford, Karylle, Vice Ganda, Teddy Corpuz, Jugs Jugueta, Jhong Hilario, Ryan Bang, Coleen Garcia, Eric ‘Eruption’ Tai, and Baby Joy in “It’s Showtime” weekdays and Saturdays at 11:30 a.m on ABS-CBN.
