Overview

Originally produced by Willie Revillame's WBR Entertainment Productions Inc., it served as a blocktimer on GMA Network. Randy Santiago originally served as the show's director.[1] The show's theme song was composed by Lito Camo and arranged by Albert Tamayo.[2] In late 2015, the show became a co-production between GMA Entertainment Group and WBR Entertainment Productions Inc. On February 1, 2016, the show joined the network's Telebabad line up.[3]

In June 2017, co-host Super Tekla was fired from the show.[4] On September 30, 2019, Sugar Mercado and comedian Donita Nose returned to the show.[5] The show's Saturday edition, Wowowin Primetime premiered on February 15, 2020, on the network's Sabado Star Power sa Gabi line up replacing Daddy's Gurl.[6] Gab Valenciano, who was hired in January 2020 served as the director.[7] In March 2020, the admission of a live audience in the studio and production were suspended due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] The show resumed its programming on April 13, 2020.[9]

The show ended on GMA Network on February 11, 2022, as Revillame's contract with the network expired in the same month.[10]

The show resumed through livestreaming on YouTube and Facebook on March 15, 2022.[11] On July 15, 2022, it was announced that the show would return to television, this time on All TV, on September 13, after Revillame signed a contract with AMBS.[12] After its broadcast in All TV received low ratings, online livestreaming was ceased on September 26, 2022, to encourage the viewers to watch it on All TV.[13]

The show aired its final live broadcast on February 10, 2023 and concluded on All TV on April 5, 2023.[14]
