The grand finale, aired live to millions of viewers nationwide and abroad, had already been hyped as the biggest night in PGT history. But no one expected what would happen next: comedy star and It’s Showtime mainstay Lassy not only made a surprise entrance, but became one of the evening’s most talked-about personalities.

But it wasn’t just the acts that took center stage. It was also the unscripted, spontaneous, and hilarious energy that It’s Showtime is known for. And at the heart of it all was Lassy — who, despite not being a contestant, managed to trend online faster than any finalist.

Clad in an eye-catching outfit and armed with his signature quick wit, Lassy brought comic relief and heartfelt commentary during the emotional segments. His on-the-spot banter with judges and contestants lightened the tension and won over the crowd.

The Grand Winner: A Star Is Born

After an intense night of performances and a record-breaking number of online votes, the PGT7 Grand Winner was finally announced: “Velocity Crew”, a high-energy urban dance group from Cebu, who stunned the nation with their explosive routines, innovative visuals, and flawless synchronization.

The moment the winner was declared, tears flowed on stage. The group fell to their knees in disbelief as confetti rained down, while the judges gave them a standing ovation.

Lassy, standing off to the side, rushed to embrace them, exclaiming, “This is YOUR moment! You made the whole country proud!” — a spontaneous moment that quickly became the most replayed clip of the night.

Netizens shared clips of Lassy’s hilarious side comments, emotional reactions, and even a surprise moment where he tried (and failed) to do one of Velocity Crew’s signature flips — earning laughter and love from fans.

“He’s not even a contestant but he OWNED the show!” one viewer tweeted.
