Charo Santos looks back on hosting GMA's 'Germspesyal' with the late German Moreno
Charo Santos looked back on the time she co-hosted the variety show "Germspesyal" with the late German "Kuya Germs" Moreno on GMA Network.
Charo guested with Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Friday where they shared insights about life, love, and the entertainment industry.
According to the actress, "Germspesyal" was her first show on GMA. "Germspesyal" was formerly titled "Germside" and ran from 1979 to 1984 before it was renamed anew to "GMA Supershow."
"I was the first co-host of the late German Moreno before it became 'GMA Supershow,' it was called 'Germspesyal.' I would come here every Sunday and do the hosting chore with him," she shared.
Charo added that back then, she did not have a talent fee nor a makeup team with her.
"You have to do everything on your own, that's why it also trained me to be self-reliant and to be independent," she said of her experience.
Dingdong and Charo recently visited Bahay ni Kuya as the latest house guests in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."
While inside, they hosted a game show and also gave the "PBB" housemates some words of wisdom.
Dingdong and Charo are set to star in the upcoming movie, "Only We Know," which will premiere on June 11.

AZ Martinez fires back at 'two-faced' accusations from 'PBB' duo challengers
AZ Martinez did not back down during the heated Big Tapatan on Saturday's episode of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Editon." When asked whether she could be considered a good example among the housemates, AZ said yes. "I've been so open in this house to the point na I feel like I even overshare," she said. Ashley Ortega contradicted this. "Paano ka nagpakatotoo sa akin? When you're right in front of me, you're a two-faced person. Are you even happy to see me right now? You're saying, 'I love you all,' do you love me? No, you don't. I know you don't," Ashley said. AZ replied, "Siguro ganon talaga 'yung naramdaman ko sayo kasi hindi ko rin nakita na naging totoo ka." Shuvee then addressed AZ and said, "Feeling ko, AZ, hindi ka nagpapakatotoo." She said that AZ once told her, "Kakampi kita." The two actresses have been friends even before "PBB." "Here comes nominations, you had to nominate me because of the outside world," Shuvee said. "Is betrayal really your thing, AZ?" "No," AZ responded. "You also voted me. You voted for River, but he's still my duo, so basically you also voted for me." Shuvee couldn't help but smile and nod. AZ explained that Kuya's basis for the previous nominations was the housemates' "whole journey." "Hahanapan ko ba ng mali 'yung ibang tao? Wala akong maling nahanap sa kanila," she added. Klarisse De Guzman quipped that naturally, AZ couldn't find anything wrong with Ralph De Leon. AZ returned the question: "Bakit, Ate Klang, may nahanap ka bang mali kay Ralph?", to which Klarisse said no, and jokingly said Ralph is perfect and she had a crush on him. Shuvee then asked AZ if she broke up with her ex-boyfriend Larkin Castor because she fell in love with Ralph De Leon. "No. And na-inlove ba ko kay Ralph?" AZ said. AZ had previously said that after a two-year on-again, off-again relationship, Larkin broke up with her before she entered Bahay ni Kuya because he didn't want her to join "PBB." However, they had still been in contact afterwards, so she wasn't sure where things stood between them. AZ finally let go of Larkin fully during her stay in the "PBB" house through a letter. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network weeknights at 9:35 p.m. and Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
