She then turned her attention to hosting and caught the attention of one of the most controversial and talented hosts in the land, Joey de Leon. Text by Loretta G. Ramirez, Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio Alyssa Alano may seem like an airhead when she goes on screen, but now that Ms. Lorna Tolentino is on indefinite leave in Startalk, Alyssa Alano is stepping up and is now being groomed to be one of the female hosts in the show. Learning the basics Alyssa admits that prior to hosting Startalk she has no formal training in hosting. She was contented to answer the phones during the Talakathon segment of the show. But now that an opportunity has presented itself to try another aspect of show business, Allysa is not backing down and wants to learn the basics of hosting. stars“Sinasanay ako ni Tito Butch, Nanay Lolit at si Tito Joey. Kasi 'di ba umalis si Ms. LT, so ako 'yung kadalasang pumapalit sa kanya,” clarifies this sexy comedian. She says that if was kind of difficult for her at first and admits that adlibbing in front of the camera is one of the hardest parts to master in the field of hosting. “Oo, adlib talaga 'yung pinaka mahirap, kasi pag nagho-host siyempre kailangan ng adlib kasi mabo-bore naman 'yung mga tao kung babasahin mo lang 'yung spiel,” admits Alyssa. That is why she loves it when she goes on screen with the master of adlibs, Joey de Leon. The master of adlibs starsJoey de Leon started his showbiz career in 1960 as a radio DJ and has ventured into acting, composing songs and hosting throughout his stay in show business. In the longest running lunch time show in the Philippines, Eat Bulaga, he has proven how smart and quick witted he is when it comes to delivering adlibs in front of the cameras. He can be considered as one of the pillars of the business and has been a vocal advocate of Filipino talent. Thus Alyssa considers herself lucky because Joey de Leon is actually training her to be a host. “Kapag kasama ko si Tito Joey mas napapadali 'yung trabaho ko, kasi lumalakas 'yung loob ko, tinuturuan niya ako kung papaano humarap sa camera na 'yung binabasa mo hindi nahahalata, tapos 'yung mga adlib-adlib tinutulungan nya ako,” shares Alyssa. She further adds that she doesn’t mind being put on the spot by the master, which happens almost every week. “Kaya ginagawa ni Tito Joey ‘yun para magsalita ako, para mailabas ko kung ano 'yung meron ako. Para din matuto ako mag adlib lalo na kapag siya ang kaharap ko kailangan maboka talaga, 'di ba?” explains Alyssa rather knowingly.
