Tony Gonzaga on Happy Yippee Yehey

TONI GONZAGA will once again be seen daily on TV as co-host of Randy Santiago, John Estrada, Mariel Rodriguez, Sam Milby, Matteo Guidicelli, John Prats, Bentong, Jobert, Bianca Manalo and Melai Cantiveros in ABS-CBN’s new noontime show “Happy Yippee Yehey” that starts on Saturday. We heard the new season of Pinoy Big Brother will start soon and she’s also hosting it so she might be seen daily morning and night. On Sundays, she’s in ASAP and “The Buzz”. Does she think they can topple “Eat Bulaga”?

“Let’s face it, it’s an institution dahil 35 years na sila kaya walang puedeng lumaban dun,” she says. “Ayaw naming isiping we’ll just compete. What we’re doing is giving the audience an option, an alternative para makapagpasaya rin sa kanila, makatulong mag-inspire at mamigay rin ng pera.”

How does she feel working anew with Mariel with whom she had a rift last year? “Tapos na yun, okay na kami. But I’m sure may mga magsasabing nagpaplastikan lang yang dalawang yan. They’ll pass judgment on us, so hayaan na lang natin sila. The important thing is I’ve moved on at yun ang totoo.”

Will they be close friends like before? “I believe there’s no perfect friendship. Lahat dumaraan sa rough roads ng pagsubok. Nasa amin na yun kung paano kami magsisimula uli para mabuo ulit yun. Malalim naman ang pinagsamahan namin before kasi 8 years kaming friends, so anuman ang nangyari, kalimutan na’t 2011 na.”
