Here's what Vice Ganda has to say about foreign artists noticing 'It's Showtime Kalokalike' contestants
It's Showtime has been garnering attention for its "Kalokalike" segment, where contestants impersonate celebrities.
Recently, international artists like Bruno Mars and Snoop Dog have reacted to their lookalike contestants.
During the show's recent mediacon for its 15th anniversary at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Quezon City on Friday, host Vice Ganda talked about how she feels about the reach their show has been gaining.
"Nakakatuwa, kasi ibig sabihin ang lala ng reach. Ang lawak lawak ng inaabot ng mga programang itong umeere sa GMA, GTV, Kapamilya network... 'Yung digital reach ang lawak lawak," she said.
"Ang active ng mga madlang people sa social media, isa 'yang paraan kaya nakarating sa ibang bansa, sa malalayong mga tao 'yung mga ganap dito."
Both Bruno Mars and Snoop Dogg saw and reacted to the clips of contestants who impersonated them on the show.
Bruno reposted an Instagram Reel of his impersonator, while Snoop commented on a video and said, "Wow get it nefew!"
"Nakakaaliw kasi naaaliw rin 'yung mga taong involved. Na-ha-happy sila," Vice said. "Siguro natutuwa rin sila na malaman nilang, 'Ay sikat pala kami sa Pilipinas.'"
"Si Bruno Mars ay laging nandito, pero si Snoop Dogg 'di pa nakakapunta dito," she added.
