Anne Curtis was not surprised when she and the rest of the “Showtime” team heard that their program will return to its original timeslot - which is 10:30 a.m. - when “Happy, Yipee, Yehey” premieres on Saturday at 12 p.m.
“We knew that from the beginning,” explained Curtis.
The talent-search show was placed in the noontime slot after “Pilipinas Win na Win” went off air on December 31, 2010.
“They asked ‘Showtime’ very quickly at the end of last year to be noontime for 3 hours, so naloka kami," she said. "We took on the challenge given us, but we were told naman back in December that it will only going to be until February, so it’s okay. Fight kami dyan.”
The Filipino-Australian shared that it was challenging for them to keep the show running for 3 hours every episode in a noontime slot.
Rather than being sad, Curtis is relieved that “Showtime” will return to its morning timeslot beginning Saturday.
“Kasi at least you know we’re back on the timeslot of young audience. Kasi if you’ve noticed the audience in ‘Showtime,’ they’re all young, they’re students. Gusto nila nakakanood muna sila ng ‘Showtime’ and then they go to school, kaya minsan naka-uniform sila [kapag pumupunta ng show],” she said.
She also noted that many students had protested after “Showtime” took the noontime slot. On Twitter, they complained that they could not watch the show anymore because they needed to be in school during the new timeslot.
Aside from “Showtime” and her endorsements nowadays, Curtis is busy promoting her new teleserye, titled “Green Rose,” with Jericho Rosales and Jake Cuenca and a movie with Luis Manzano, “Who’s That Girl.”
“I don’t think I could ask for anything more,” said Curtis, referring to her career.
“But if there is something more to happen, then I’d happily take it all in. I’m just taking everything in day by day [and] no expectations. I just want to be happy, [to have a] positive year. I want have a great 2011, and I wish the same for everyone else,” she added.
