It's Showtime page, nakisabay sa "overtime" joke ng fans; ABS-CBN page, nakisaya rin

• It's Showtime amused fans after temporarily changing its social media profile image to a fan-made logo that renamed the program "It's Overtime"
• The page embraced the joke about the show's tendency to run beyond its scheduled airtime and thanked the fan who created the graphic
• ABS-CBN’s page joined the fun by commenting on the post and later sharing a screenshot of the altered logo on its own social media page
• The playful exchange highlighted how both the show and the network continue to lean into audience jokes about It's Showtime's frequent overtime broadcasts

It's Showtime sent social media into a frenzy after jokingly rebranding its official social media page to highlight its notorious tendency to extend past its scheduled broadcasting slot.

The official page of the popular variety program surprised followers by replacing its traditional logo with a fan-made graphic that hilariously alters the show's name. In the temporary graphic, the iconic wordmark reads "It's Overtime" instead of its actual title. Page administrators lightheartedly acknowledged the joke by pointing out how the online community has long teased the show for running overtime. In their caption, they noted how crazy the fans are for making it and thanked the creator of the image.

"Amats nyo kami ha, salamat sa gumawa nito," It's Showtime stated in the post.

The official ABS-CBN Facebook page then interacted directly with the temporary display photo to push the gag even further.

Recognizing the running joke regarding the show's frequent overtime broadcasts, the verified page of ABS-CBN asked whether the supposed name change had already been notarized.

"Napa-notaryo na ba yan?" ABS-CBN commented.

The humorous interaction did not stop there, as the page shared a screenshot of the joke on its own timeline. In the caption, ABS-CBN quipped, "May susunod na kay Sharmaine and friends."

It is worth noting that It's Showtime has frequently trended online due to extended segments, long host spiels, and spontaneous banter led by comedian Vice Ganda. Instead of trying to curb the reputation, the said pages continue to embrace the running joke alongside the loyal audience.

Vice Ganda is a famous comedian, actor, endorser, and host in the Philippines. He is best known for hosting “It’s Showtime” and for his commercially successful movies in the MMFF. The superstar is currently in a relationship with Ion Perez. He and Ion got their Certificate of Commitment in a special ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada on Oct. 19, 2021.
