A few years ago, Boy was asked on his now-defunct Kapamilya show called “The Bottomline” about the GMA-7 artists that he wanted to interview if he will be given a chance. One of the names that the prominent host mentioned was Jessica Soho, a veteran broadcast-journalist in the Kapuso network. The “King of Talk” also revealed the questions that he might ask a friend if the interview that he wishes will turn into reality.

Last year, Boy appeared on a digital billboard in Times Square. The billboard on the commercial intersection in New York showed him promoting a sustainable and ethical fashion brand. The ad also showcased a “Philippine-made product that brings alive the story of ancient Filipino craftsmanship”. The King of Talk, on the other hand, felt elated seeing the said billboard personally.
