Salo-Salo Together (SST) (lit. ''Partying Together'') is a defunct Philippine noontime variety show aired over GMA Network. ==History== SST's first aired on March 20, 1993 as a replacement for ''Lunch Date'', hosted by Randy Santiago, Dennis Padilla, and Smokey Manaloto with Liezl Martinez, Anjanette Abayari, Joy Ortega and Giselle Sanchez as co-hosts. In less than six months after it aired, SST started to take over its archrival, ABS-CBN's ''Eat Bulaga!'' in the ratings by providing fresh interactive segments like ''"Grabe!"'' (a contest where live studio audience join the hosts of SST in a dare), ''"Knock Knock Hello!"'' (where SST wall clocks were given out to a lucky household member whose home was posted with an SST sticker), ''"Sari-Sari Stories"'' (a weekly comedy skit where SST hosts spoof a certain movie or Pinoy pop culture) and ''"Ano ka Hello?"'' (where SST hosts call out a lucky viewer and ask them questions about what they just saw in a particular episode). Moreover, SST hosts like Dennis, Smokey, Anjanette, Joy and Giselle became contract stars of Viva Films, where they have appeared separately in numerous movies. A free SST Sticker can be given to the audience on every weekdays. Shortly before SST celebrated its first year on television, co-host Joy Ortega left the show because she could not take the intrigues thrown at her. She was subsequently replaced by Ai-Ai de las Alas who immediately blended beautifully with the other co-hosts, despite the fact that during the show's "Sari-Sari Stories" segment she always plays the oppressed character. Main host Randy Santiago also started extra work for the show as the main director, with Cesar Cosme as 2nd unit director. Soon after, SST gave a break to other newcomers in showbiz like Bayani Agbayani (who, like Ai-ai was always oppressed during the "Sari-Sari" segment), and Bernadette Allyson (who was introduced as VJ Berna). It started as a blind item as 1994 was about to end, until showbiz news had leaked out that "SST" was going to go off the air to give way to its rival noontime show "Eat Bulaga!" at the 12 pm slot, after "Bulaga!" had decided to move to GMA Network following their contract renegotiations with its previous home network, ABS-CBN bogged down. During "SST"'s New Year episode on December 31, 1994, the announcement of "Eat Bulaga"'s move to GMA was officially made by main hosts Randy Santiago and Dennis Padilla. The "SST" hosts and talents were sad because they felt the management did not give them a chance to prove that they could carry the noontime show to new heights. But at the same time, they felt happy because the GMA management decided to keep the show after they decided to move "SST" to an earlier time slot, as a pre-programming to ''Eat Bulaga!''. SST made its last noontime episode on January 27, 1995. On January 30, 1995, SST was reformatted as a morning talk show, with its timeslot at 10:30 am before "Eat Bulaga!". Entertainment writer Giovanni Calvo joined the "SST gang" as the segment host for "Katok mga Misis", dishing out the latest rumors in show business. However, "SST" was not able to dislodge ABS-CBN's "Teysi ng Tahanan" from the top spot, and its ratings suffered. On June 30, 1995, "SST" finally bade farewell after GMA executives decided to make the segment "Katok mga Misis" into a full-length program. The late Giovanni Calvo hosted the show along with his co-host Ali Sotto. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salo-Salo Together (SST)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
