Di nga ba nag-usap sina Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola nang halos isang buwan? Alamin sa 'Don't Lie to Me: Faceoff Edition' ng Showbiz Central.
One of the most popular comedic tandems in the business today had a "perfect score" in John "Sweet" Lapus' famous segment in Showbiz Central: 'Don't Lie to Me: Faceoff Edition'. Were these two able to withstand the lie detector machine's scrutiny as well as they throw their punchlines last November 2? It was just about time that comedians Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola get to answer some issues up front, and they did this with their trademark brand of humor. It made for an interesting time for the Showbiz Central viewers and made Sweet's job busier than usual. Tanong 1: Totoo bang takot kayo sa mga misis ninyo? Jose and Wally: No With this Jose and Wally were both found by the machine to lie, which visibly surprised them both and Wally had to clarify, "Iniiwasan ko na lang siya mag-tanong para hindi nalang ako magsinungaling." Tanong 2: Almost a month kayo nag-away at hindi nag-usap. Totoo nga bang may isa sa inyo na nag so-solo at tumatanggap ng raket na palihim at ang kinagalit at kinasama ng loob nung isa? Jose and Wally: No This time around, the machine results showed that the both of them lied once more. "Wala namang samaan ng loob. Yung sinasabing nagso-solo, parehong bar na iisa ang may ari. Dumarating lang yung time na itong araw na ito maraming tao, so kailangan maghiwalay kaming dalawa. So management ang may gusto, hindi kami. Alam naming pareho yun." Jose divulged. Tanong 3: Na-insecure ka ba Wally kay Jose dahil mas malaki ang talent fee ni Jose kaysa kay Wally? Jose and Wally: No Their answers, being the same up until that point, were, again, found to be lies. But Wally admits that he doesn't know Jose's talent fee. While Jose explains, "Kahit kaming lahat sa Eat Bulaga, hindi namin alam ang talent fee ng bawat isa. Kahit sa show hindi namin alam kung magkano yung binibigay sa amin. Ngayon kung lumaki man yung TF (talent fee) ko sa kanya maliit lang naman ang pinagkaiba." Tanong 4: Sa pagkakaalam ninyo base sa sweetness na naririnig ninyo na madalas na pinaguusapan na si Bossing Vic [Sotto] at syempre ng ating Showbiz Central host na si Pia Guanio, sa inyong palagay ikakasal na ba next year sila Bossing Vic at si Pia? Jose and Wally: No And being consistent up to the last, they were once again found to lie, "Huwag nalang natin ikwento sila Bossing at si Pia, tahimik yang dalawa na yan. Ang nakikita ko napaka sweet ng dalawa na yan. Bagay na bagay. Walang ginagawa yan kundi kumain ng kumain, pero tungkol sa kasal, wala pa naman akong naririnig na pinag uusapan." Sweet just couldn't avoid remarking, "Na-perfect po nila! Na-perfect nila ang "Don't Lie to Me!". Perfect lie ang lumabas! Magkasama, magkahiwalay, nag-solo, napakagagaling [nilang dalawa]." Of course, the duo being as busy as ever as regular hosts of Eat Bulaga, they took this chance to promote their first silver screen debut, Scaregiver. "Unang-unang pelikula po namin ni Wally. Sana po manood po kayo. Yung mga magbibigay ng 13th month sa 25th na po ng November kayo mamigay, ipunin nyo na yung pera ninyo para sa 26th makapanood na po kayo," Jose invited. Wally further continued, "Launching movie namin ito ni Jose, talagang nakikiusap po kami manood po kayo. At nagpapasalamat kami kay Dingdong [Dantes] at Marian [Rivera] ," with this, Sweet had to ask, "Nag-special appearance ba sila sa [movie] na ito?" and Wally, smiling, clarified, "Na hindi nila sinabayan yung show namin. Maraming salamat. Manood po kayo, kasama namin dito si Ms. Iza Calzado , Ehra Madrigal , Paolo Contis , Ryan Yllana at marami pa pong iba." – Text by Erick Mataverde.
