Wowowin (wa-WAH-win) is a Philippine afternoon variety show presented by Willie Revillame and broadcast by GMA Network. The program premiered on May 10, 2015 as a Sunday afternoon game-variety show produced by Revillame's WBR Entertainment Productions on the network's Sunday Grande block.[1] The show later became a co-production with GMA Network, currently airing during the network's weeknight GMA Telebabad block. The program is also broadcast internationally in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific via GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Network's international channel.
Overview
The program marks the return of Revillame to Philippine television and his return to his original network, GMA Network, where he hosted Lunch Date with his close friend Randy Santiago in the 1980s. Wowowin is produced by Revillame's WBR Entertainment Productions, Inc. serving as a blocktimer on GMA Network, and friend Randy Santiago served as the program's original director.[2]
After proving to be a strong contender in its weekend timeslot, Wowowin was granted extended airtime and became a co-production in late 2015 between WBR Entertainment and GMA Network. Another milestone was reached in February 2016, with Wowowin being promoted to GMA Network's Weeknights Primetime block with another airtime extension, serving as the lead-in to the network's flagship national evening newscast, 24 Oras.[3] Wowowin began broadcasting from its new home located at Studio 6 at the GMA Network Studios starting April 18, 2016,
The show had a 2-week break from May 2 to May 13 to give way its studio for GMA News' Eleksyon 2016 coverage, as well as vacation for Willie. But before it came back, it has several teasers telling that it will be back with a grand new studio, bigger prizes, and many more. On May 16, 2016, the day it came back, the show introduced a new host, Miss Universe 2013 3rd runner-up, Ariella Arida.
The 3rd season started on September 12, 2016, as the program opened with a grand production number introducing new songs such as "Zumbahan Na" and "Sige Sige Sumayaw" and new segment Gandang Filipina which started on September 13, 2016.
After the said segment ended, Amal Rosaroso, Gandang Filipina's witty, funny and energetic finalist joined the lineup of co-hosts of Wowowin up until July 2017.[4]

Current Segments
Doobi Doobi Dap Dap Dance Challenge (Mondays - Wednesdays - Fridays)
Due to the online popularity of "Doobi Doobi Dap Dap" rap lyrics of Willie Revillame's novelty song "Beep Beep Beep Ang Sabi ng Jeep", the production team of the show decided to launch the "Doobi Doobi Dap Dap Dance Challenge" segment.
On the daily round of the segment, 3 competing groups with 8 members each will dance the novelty song with different steps and choreography. The winning group of the day will receive PHP 20,000 and automatically enters the grand finals but they are required to post their dance video on social media. Number of hits in social media are also included in their scores on the grand finals. Non-winners of the day will receive PHP 10,000 each. The grand winner of the dance challenge will receive PHP 100,000.
Dear Wilfredo (Mondays - Wednesdays - Fridays)
This segment is inspired from Saturday Drama Anthology Tadhana aims to capture the letters of the people about love and heartwrenching stories that will be read, investigated, ridiculed, and shown by the hosts. This segment started to air on July 17, 2017.
Willie of Fortune (Mondays - Wednesdays - Fridays)
Three contestants/groups selected earlier through themed auditions compete in Willie of Fortune. This segment allows the contestants to share their life stories and their talent to the world. Each contestant is given a PHP 10,000 cash prize for showcasing their talent. The in-house keyboardist plays a portion of a song, and the first person to name the song correctly gets one point each. Three points are required to win another PHP 10,000 for a total of PHP 20,000 before entering the jackpot round.
Pera o Kahon (Mondays - Wednesdays - Fridays)
In this game (previously named "Wil to Win" & "Cash Bukas"), the advancing contestant on Willie of Fortune has to find the box with "Mega Jackpot" labelled on it when opened to win the jackpot prizes in Pera o Kahon. There are boxes marked with names of different colors (in filipino names) and the contestant must choose only one. Willie would open all boxes- except for two, and if they would change their mind, they could switch boxes. The contestant would then choose either "Cash" (open the box, get the previous money offer and accept the result, may it be "Bokya". If the Mega Jackpot was inside the box and they chose "Cash", then they would receive the previous money offer and not the Mega Jackpot.), or "Kahon" (the increasing money offer until the box is finally opened, usually accompanied with exciting music.). The Mega Jackpot consists of PHP 1,000,000.00, house and lot from Bria Homes, and a brand new car.
