Michael V., Ogie Alcasid reunite in pilot episode of ‘Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman’

Michael V. and Ogie Alcasid in the pilot episode of 'Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman'.

Michael V. was in for a treat during the recent taping of the pilot episode of his highly anticipated TV5 debut as the host of the new game show, “Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman”, the local version of the hit US show “Killer Karaoke”.

His dear friend and long-time collaborator Ogie Alcasid turned out to be his guest co-host for the pilot, set to air on Saturday, 8:30PM on TV5.

“I was surprised!” said the comedian of their first time to work together since Ogie left their old network, GMA, and became a TV5 talent in August. “It’s going to be lots of fun! I’m very happy that Ogie is my first guest Karaoker,” he added.

Ogie was was equally surprised when he took on the show’s sing-and-play challenge. “I thought I could make it, but when the challenge started, I could no longer sing!” he said in between laughs, as he was tasked to sing “Pusong Bato” while serving as yaya/waiter to Michael V. and fighting electric shocks in between.

Aside from electric shocks, there’s a whole lot of other distractions contestants have to overcome when they join “Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman”.

As seen in the US version, there are challenges such as singing while getting your body hair-waxed, stepping on spiders and maggots, or standing in front of giant fans blowing fresh air, oatmeal, and paprika.

The final showdown puts the top three contenders on to a speeding turntable; the last player standing wins the jackpot. Challenges get crazier and crazier each week, but there’s only one rule: “whatever happens, do not stop singing!”

Directed by Mike Tuviera, the Pinoy version is set to match its success all over the world, especially in the US, UK, Thailand, and Brazil.

Michael V. and Ogie will be joined in the pilot episode by Arci Munoz, Eula Caballero, Jayce Flores, Shalala, and Rufa Mi.

Which celebrity contestant is adventurous enough to conquer the challenges? Who will get to finish their song despite all the crazy distractions? Tune in to TV5 this Saturday and find out on “Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman”.
