After weeks of speculation and fan theories, Vice Ganda has finally addressed the sudden absence of comedic duo MC and Lassy from It’s Showtime, confirming what many didn’t expect:

“MC at Lassy ang kusang nagpaalam. Hindi sila pinaalis.”

The revelation came during a recent interview, where Vice decided to clear the air once and for all, amid swirling rumors of tension, backstage drama, and alleged falling-outs.

🎤 Why Did MC and Lassy Leave?

According to Vice Ganda, the decision came from MC and Lassy themselves, who expressed a desire to explore new opportunities and focus on their personal careers — including solo shows, regional events, and digital content.

“They were honest with us. They wanted to grow outside of Showtime,” Vice shared.
“We respect that. Masakit, pero suportado namin sila.”

💬 Vice: “Walang tampuhan.”

Vice emphasized that there is no bad blood between them and the comedy duo, saying their bond goes beyond television:

“Mahal ko ‘yang mga ‘yan. At kahit wala sila sa Showtime ngayon, magkakaibigan pa rin kami.”

This statement was a direct response to netizens accusing Vice and Showtime of allegedly pushing MC and Lassy out due to airtime issues or creative clashes.

“It’s not the same without MC & Lassy’s laughter.”

“They brought so much life to the show. But we’re excited to see what they do next.”

“At least malinaw na. Walang issue. Grown-up decision ‘yan.”

Hashtags like #MCandLassy, #ShowtimeFamily, and #ViceGandaStatement quickly trended as fans expressed mixed emotions — sadness over their departure, but respect for their decision to evolve.

🎭 What’s Next for MC & Lassy?

Insiders hint at upcoming projects for the pair, including a rumored stand-up comedy tour and appearances in digital shows and movies. While they may be off the Showtime stage, they’re definitely not disappearing from the spotlight.

As Vice Ganda reminded everyone:

“Hindi lang ito trabaho. Ito ay pamilya. At sa pamilya, may mga umaalis hindi dahil galit — kundi dahil kailangan nilang lumipad.

MC Muah and Lassy, ​​voluntarily leaving It’s Showtime?
MC Muah and Lassy, ​​still silent about Vice Ganda’s controversial vlog.
MC Muah Calaquian and Lassy Marquez remain silent about their departure as co-hosts of the noontime show It’s Showtime.

Because of this, various speculations are spreading.

Someone who knows the story told Cabinet Files that, allegedly, MC and Lassy voluntarily took a break, so they are no longer seen on the Kapamilya noontime show that can be seen on GMA 7, A2Z, ALLTV, and Kapamilya Channel.

There is a strong suspicion that Vice Ganda’s criticism of MC during their outing to get married has something to do with MC and Lassy’s no-show on It’s Showtime. Vice’s vlog, filmed in Coron, Palawan, became controversial because he criticized MC for not being a good person and always arriving late to their gatherings when they were on vacation there.

Like MC and Lassy, ​​Vice has remained silent on this issue.

WILL FRIENDSHIP PREVAIL AMONG VICE, MC, AND LASSY?

Vice has not escaped the hurtful and harsh words from those who sympathize with his friends.

Some sided with Vice’s behavior, but there were also those who said he did the wrong thing because MC was put in an awkward situation.

MC and Lassy were no longer seen on It’s Showtime a few days after Vice’s vlog came out.

There are those who urge MC and Lassy not to return to It’s Showtime, but there are also those who advise them not to let their deep friendship with Vice be damaged and end.

MC and Lassy are indebted to Vice for the films he has done with them.

MC and Lassy became known to the public because of Vice, who also had a lot to do with it, so they became co-hosts of It’s Showtime
