MC Muah Officially Bids Goodbye to ‘It’s Showtime’ Amid Fallout With Vice Ganda: “I Had to Put Myself First”

In a move that caught both fans and insiders off guard, MC Muah has confirmed his exit from ABS-CBN’s flagship noontime show It’s Showtime, following weeks of silent tension and growing rumors surrounding an alleged rift with Vice Ganda. The usually vibrant and comedic presence of MC Muah has been noticeably absent in recent episodes—now, we know why.

MC Muah took to social media to confirm his departure, and though he didn’t name names, his cryptic and emotional message pointed to unresolved internal issues. He wrote, “Sometimes, you realize your laughter is no longer welcome in the room. When your spirit is being dimmed, you walk away—not with anger, but with love for yourself.”

Sources close to the show claim the tension had been simmering for months, with MC Muah slowly being sidelined and losing space in segments where he once shined. Many fans speculated that creative differences between him and Vice Ganda were behind the shift, and insiders now suggest that multiple off-cam disagreements finally pushed MC Muah to make the difficult decision to leave.

One production team member revealed, “He didn’t feel seen anymore. He’d come to meetings excited, full of ideas—but it felt like he was being shut down. The breaking point was an off-air argument that left things strained beyond repair.”

MC and Vice were known for their sharp comedic timing, but behind the camera, their personalities and creative styles allegedly clashed. While Vice often leads with a polished, star-powered approach, MC Muah is raw, heartfelt, and relies on crowd energy and punchline chaos—two styles that may have collided more than complemented.

Adding to the emotional weight of the exit was the support of Lassy, MC’s comedic partner and close friend. In a subtle but pointed message online, Lassy wrote, “In every journey, respect should walk beside you. I stand with you, partner.”

Fans were quick to rally behind MC, flooding his post with messages of love and encouragement. Many praised him for standing up for himself, while others expressed heartbreak over the thought of not seeing the iconic duo light up noontime TV together anymore.

Vice Ganda has yet to comment publicly on the matter, and It’s Showtime has not released an official statement. This silence, however, has only fueled speculation—and criticism from some netizens who feel MC Muah wasn’t treated fairly.

Despite the emotional toll, MC is determined to move forward. He ended his post with a hopeful note: “This isn’t the end of my story. Just a new chapter where my voice echoes louder and my laughter is truly free.”

In the unpredictable world of entertainment, MC Muah’s departure marks not just the end of a role—but the birth of a stronger, independent voice. Where he heads next, one thing is certain: the fans will follow.
