Page "Kris Aquino" Paragraph 16

Aquino hosted the Philippine franchise of Deal or No Deal, which is part of ABS-CBN's primetime lineup.

It ended its first season on February 23, 2007.

The second season of the said game show started on June 11, 2007.

On May 5, 2008, she appeared on the US version as part of a " Deal or No Deal around the world " event, where host Howie Mandel and an American contestant were taken to an international location, and played the game in that country, with the local models and host assisting Mandel.

She also hosts Boy & Kris, a morning talk show that replaced Homeboy, together with Boy Abunda, and Be Bench /, a model search show together with Piolo Pascual.

Nestor Torre, a known critic of the Philippine Entertainment industry, pointed out that Aquino took a lot of risks when she chose to give up her two former shows.

The critic pointed out that giving up The Buzz and Pilipinas, Game KNB?

deprived her of the major exposure that those two popular shows afforded her.

Torre also noted that it is much more difficult to successfully launch new shows than to resume hosting programs that are already popular.
