MC Muah Reportedly Exits ‘It’s Showtime’ Amid Rumored Conflict with Vice Ganda

Manila, Philippines – Rumors are spreading fast on social media after reports surfaced suggesting that comedian and television personality MC Muah has allegedly stepped away from ABS-CBN’s long-running noontime variety show “It’s Showtime” following what fans suspect to be a misunderstanding or rift with co-host Vice Ganda.

While no official statement has been released as of writing, speculation has grown online as netizens notice MC Muah’s absence from recent episodes and his vague social media posts hinting at emotional distress and changes in direction.

Absence Raises Eyebrows

MC Muah, whose real name is Mark Christian Tagle, is known for his comedic timing, vibrant personality, and chemistry with longtime tandem partner Lassy Marquez. Both comedians are beloved fixtures on the show’s “Miss Q&A” segment and other comedic skits.

However, fans were quick to notice that MC had been missing from several live broadcasts in recent weeks. Social media users flooded comment sections with questions like:

“Where’s MC Muah?”
“Did something happen between MC and Vice?”

Adding fuel to the fire were cryptic posts on MC’s social media accounts. One particular message that drew attention read:

“Not everyone who laughs with you wants you to win. But it’s okay — I choose peace.”

Alleged Tension With Vice Ganda?

Some online gossip pages and vloggers began linking MC’s absence to an alleged falling out with Vice Ganda, the show’s lead host. While there is no confirmed report of any specific incident, rumors suggest that creative or personal misunderstandings may have occurred behind the scenes.

Vice Ganda, known for his frank but humorous personality, has not made any public comment regarding the issue. In recent episodes, Vice has continued to host with the usual lineup, but notably without MC and Lassy present together.

MC’s Recent Appearances & Career Moves

Despite his apparent absence from “It’s Showtime,” MC has still been active outside of television. He recently performed in a comedy bar event and posted promotional material for upcoming gigs.

This has led fans to wonder:
Is this a temporary break? Or a more permanent exit from the noontime show?

His tandem partner Lassy Marquez has also been seen performing solo in some appearances, further raising speculation that MC is stepping back — at least for now.

Support From Fans and Celebrities

Following the circulation of rumors, many fans and fellow artists have voiced support for MC on social media. Some of the top comments include:

“Whatever it is, we support you, MC! You deserve peace and happiness.”
“If the rumors are true, we hope everyone can resolve things privately and respectfully.”
“Thank you for all the laughs on Showtime. We’ll be waiting for your comeback, MC.”

No Official Confirmation Yet

As of now, ABS-CBN, It’s Showtime, and MC Muah have not issued any formal statement regarding the situation. Viewers are advised to remain cautious in interpreting rumors and to await verified updates.

Final Thoughts

MC Muah’s comedic energy and genuine personality have made him a staple in Filipino entertainment. Whether this is a temporary break or a permanent shift in career focus, the public remains hopeful for clarity — and ultimately, peace among beloved TV personalities.
