Edu Manzano Has Totally Replaced Kris Aquino as Game K N B’s Game Master

Honestly, when I first watched Edu Manzano as the new game master for Game Ka Na Ba? I thought he’s so-trying hard to replace Kris Aquino for the Philippine’s First Highest-Rating Game Show. As I remember correctly, he was the dreary host of the Philippine franchised ‘Weakest Link’. He ended up as one of the weakest link as the show didn’t last long.

Later on, he had proven his talent and capability to be the GKNB’s host. From Kris’ tactless remarks, brushing hair gesture and showing off her designer’s gowns/dresses Edu re-create GKNB’s scene. The interview portion for the contestants is now a bit longer and turns it into contestant-getting-to-know-stand-up-show. The supposed to be tension for the show is lessened as the contestants themselves are sportily interacting with Edu and giggles with the show’s funny sound effects. The energetic dancing during the beginning of show changed GKNB’s image to a not-just-a-plain game show.

Game Ka Na Ba was also the bridge for Edu as he popularized the Polish song with the ‘Papaya Dance’. The dance craze has come its way to be the new ‘Macarena’. Even the US Ambassador Kristie Kenney did the ‘Papaya Dance’ when she visited the Umagang Kay Ganda. And just recently US’ morning show hosts, Good Morning America, have just joined the dance craze.
