Synopsis

The Jose and Wally Show Starring Vic Sotto is a show-within-a-show. The plot revolves around two has-been comedians/TV hosts Jose de Leoncio (Manalo) and Wally Revilla (Bayola) whose last remaining shows are being axed by their respective home studios for faring poorly in ratings and their skits are only repetitive. Playing savior to both is Direk Vic (Sotto) an excellent TV director, forced to unify rivals Revilla and Leoncio in a show despite their bickering. He ends up producing a show featuring the two "frenemies" (friends and enemies) on a newly opened TV station. In the upper echelon is an executive (Boboy Garrovillo) who oversees everything and has a huge amount of money to spend and gamble. His former beauty queen-wife Maxene (Miriam Quiambao) will meddle in the operations and help her starlet niece, Tennessee or Tenten (Dianne Medina) in advancing the latter's acting career. On and off stage, Jose and Wally will try to upstage each other and prove who is the better comedian-host between them. They shoots a show titled "Tawa O Talo", a parody of their former show, "L.O.L: Laugh Or Lose". Despite rivalries, they remained professional.
