The unexpected but highly welcomed addition to the Kapuso (GMA's moniker for its stars and audience) morning lineup was formally announced during the Tuesday broadcast, signaling a fresh new dynamic for the beloved show this week.
The move sees the versatile artist, primarily known for her anchoring role on the rival network's noontime staple, It's Showtime, taking on a temporary, week-long stint with the Unang Hirit crew.
This special guest hosting role is part of the show's popular "host-mate" segment, which regularly features various celebrities, performers, and personalities joining the main UH barkada (group/crew) to provide viewers with engaging and diverse content throughout the week.
The atmosphere on set was notably warm and festive as the veteran hosts extended a hearty welcome to Karylle.
Anchors Arnold Clavio, Suzy Entrata-Abrera, Susan Enriquez, Ivan Mayrina, and Anjo Pertierra were all smiles as they officially inducted the new addition.
In a gesture marking her temporary membership, Karylle was presented with a special jacket embroidered with the iconic "UH" logo, symbolizing her inclusion in the morning family.
Karylle’s presence is expected to bring her signature charm, musical talent, and hosting prowess to the program, which covers a wide range of content from hard news and public service to lifestyle features and entertainment.
Her temporary shift to the early morning slot highlights the increasing fluidity of talent sharing across Philippine television networks, an event often celebrated by the general public who appreciate seeing their favorite stars connect with different audiences.
The "host-mate" concept is a well-established tradition for the morning program, successfully integrating a rotating cast of familiar faces to inject novelty and excitement.
Previous notable personalities who have accepted the challenge and joined the ranks of the UH "host-mates" include the likes of singers Christian Bautista and Anthony Constantino, and actor EA Guzman, among others.
These temporary co-hosting roles serve not just to entertain, but to showcase the guest's versatility in handling the demanding and varied segments of a live morning program.
Karylle’s debut is highly anticipated by both Kapuso and Madlang People (the term used for the It's Showtime audience), as she bridges the gap between the two large fan bases, promising a week of unforgettable morning television.
Her appearance is a testament to her professional versatility and the industry's newfound spirit of unity.
Karylle is a Filipina singer, actress, and television host. She is the daughter of Zsa Zsa Padilla, a renowned singer-actress in the local show business. Karylle first gained recognition in the industry as a theater actress before transitioning into television and film. She became widely known for her roles in hit TV series like Encantadia and Mulawin and has starred in various movies. Beyond acting and music, Karylle has also established herself as a well-loved television host, particularly as one of the main hosts of the long-running noontime show It's Showtime. In her personal life, she is married to Yael Yuzon of the band Sponge Cola. With her elegance, talent, and advocacy work, she remains one of the most respected and admired figures in the industry.
Early this month, Karylle trended online after her reunion with ex-boyfriend Dingdong Dantes during his guesting on "It’s Showtime." In "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," she admitted she wasn’t fully ready but described the moment as “beautiful.” She recalled the difficulty of their public breakup in 2008, likening it to past personal struggles in her childhood. Karylle said being “friends” with Dingdong is unlikely, but they can still support each other’s work in the industry.
Last month, she amused netizens with a video she posted featuring her mom. In the video, Karylle talked about being spotted by some netizens online. However, when Zsa Zsa Padilla heard an unfamiliar term to her, she asked Karylle right away. The singer's answer, however, had netizens laughing hard as Karylle recounted a funny story.
