PAOLO Ballesteros is finally back on “Eat Bulaga!”
The TV host and actor who gained international fame due to his makeup skills was seen in the “Juan For All, All For Juan,” segment of the noontime show yesterday, completing the JoWaPao trio of him, Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola together with Maine Mendoza.
During the segment’s opening, Paolo along with the three other hosts lipsynched to Black Eyed Peas’ “Where is the Love?” while riding a truck that made its way through the streets of Pasig City, yesterday’s location for the “Sugod Bahay” segment.
The audience at Broadway Centrum cheered for Paolo, happy to see him back after almost six months of absence. Reports claimed that he was temporarily removed from the noontime show as a disciplinary action after he ranted on Facebook against an EB staff during the Ad Summit event in Subic. The management of “Eat Bulaga” neither confirmed nor denied the reported suspension.
But the other hosts of the noontime show burst into laughter when Joey de Leon joked and teased Paolo by saying, “May event tayo sa Subic.”
During the split screen interaction, Allan K told Paolo how the audience missed him, to which he responded by saying “I miss you, too.”
Fans of the noontime show and AldubNation expressed their joy for Paolo’s return. But most of them took to social media to express their frustration about the noontime show’s new segments, as well as, the absence of a replacement for the very popular “Kalyeserye,” which gave birth to the phenomenal love team AlDub (Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza).
Paolo didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to fans as his character Lola Tidora when Kalyeserye ended in last Saturday’s episode.
