MC AND LASSY BREAK SILENCE ON IT’S SHOWTIME EXIT—DID VICE GANDA GO TOO FAR? FANS DEMAND THE TRUTH NOW!

MANILA, PhilippinesThe laughter has stopped… and the silence has been broken. Comedy duo MC and Lassy, long-time fan favorites on ABS-CBN’s noontime show It’s Showtime, have finally spoken out about their shocking and sudden departure—leaving fans stunned, confused, and asking one burning question: Was Vice Ganda the reason behind their exit?

In a tell-all online interview that quickly went viral, the beloved tandem opened up about the backstage tension, “creative differences,” and a particular incident that may have triggered the split. Their explosive revelations have ignited a firestorm of reactions from fans and industry insiders alike—some defending the show, others accusing it of becoming “too toxic” behind the scenes.

“HINDI NA KAMI MASAYA…”

MC Muah and Lassy Marquez, known for their outrageous humor and infectious chemistry, did not hold back as they addressed the elephant in the room. In a candid sit-down aired on YouTube, MC revealed:

“Nagdesisyon kaming magpahinga. Hindi dahil galit kami… pero kasi hindi na kami masaya.”

Lassy, visibly emotional, added:

“May mga bagay sa likod ng camera na hindi alam ng mga manonood. We kept quiet for so long. But now, we just want to speak our truth.”

Though neither directly named names, the tension in their words—and the timing of their exit—pointed to one undeniable figure: Vice Ganda.

WAS VICE GANDA INVOLVED?

The comedy duo was careful not to outright blame anyone, but fans quickly read between the lines. When asked if any “big personality” on the show contributed to their decision, MC hesitated before saying:

“Sometimes, people change. Power changes people. And when you no longer feel respected… it’s hard to stay.”

That one line sent social media into meltdown. Many viewers interpreted it as a veiled jab at Vice Ganda, who has long been considered the face—and the strongest voice—of It’s Showtime.

Lassy added fuel to the fire:

“Hindi lang kami ang naka-experience nito. Pero kami na ang nagsalita ngayon.”

“BINA-VOID NA RAW SILA?”

Whispers from production insiders hinted that the duo had been slowly pushed to the side in recent months. Segments they once dominated were either removed or handed over to newer, younger performers. Their screen time dropped. The energy changed.

One crew member, who spoke anonymously, claimed:

“Parang na-freeze out sila. Hindi naman outright na pinapaalis, pero alam mong pinaparamdam.”

Another source claimed a heated backstage argument happened weeks before their final episode, allegedly involving Vice Ganda and a creative head—with MC and Lassy caught in the middle.

The reaction online was immediate and intense. Within hours of their interview airing, #ProtectMCandLassy and #ViceGandaExposed trended nationwide.

“We watched Showtime because of MC and Lassy. It’s not the same without them.”
“If Vice Ganda is really the reason, then someone has to say it out loud.”
“ABS-CBN better fix this before more talents walk away.”

Many longtime fans also lamented what they called “the loss of authenticity” in the show—citing how the original chemistry and good vibes of the cast have faded in favor of tension and power struggles.

VICE GANDA RESPONDS… KIND OF

As the controversy exploded, Vice Ganda posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter):

“Sometimes silence is dignity. And sometimes, leaving is peace.”

The vague statement only fueled more speculation, with fans interpreting it as either a clapback—or a quiet admission.

So far, no official statement has been made by Vice, ABS-CBN, or the It’s Showtime management regarding MC and Lassy’s exit.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MC AND LASSY?

Despite the drama, the duo remains hopeful. They revealed they are now focusing on their live comedy shows, online content, and possibly launching their own digital program where they “can be free to be themselves.”

“We’re not closing doors,” MC clarified.
“We’re just choosing peace. And laughter—real laughter this time,” Lassy added.

The duo also thanked their fans for their unwavering support and encouraged them to keep smiling, no matter what.
