Pokwang joining 'Happy Yipee Yehey?'

MANILA, Philippines - Comedienne Pokwang, who hosted the defunct shows "Wowowee" and "Pilipinas Win na Win," said she misses hosting an afternoon program.

She made the statement during her recent appearance on ABS-CBN's newest noontime show "Happy Yipee Yehey" to promote her movie, "Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak" by Star Cinema and M-Zet Films.

"Na-miss ko ito," she said.

John Estrada, one of the hosts of "Happy Yipee Yehey," asked Pokwang if she would consider being part of their show.

"Kung pagbibigyan ka ba na makasama namin, papayag ka ba?," he said during the show on Monday last week. Pokwang then proceeded to do her usual comic act instead of giving a straightforward response.

"May malaki kaming sorpresang ibibigay sa inyo pagkatapos ng linggong ito," Estrada told the audience.

Mariel Rodriguez, who used to host "Wowowee" and "Pilipinas Win na Win" with Pokwang, earlier said that "Happy Yipee Yehey" will soon have additional co-hosts, Push.com.ph reported.

The wife of action star Robin Padilla refused to name them as ABS-CBN management has yet to make the announcement. (report from abs-cbnNEWS.com)
