Champoy is a Philippine television sketch comedy show broadcast by RPN. Directed by Peque Gallaga and Leo Rialp, it stars Subas Herrero, Tessie Tomas, Noel Trinidad, Mitch Valdes, Cherie Gil, and Gary Lising. It aired from 1980 to 1985.[1]
Some of its well-known segments included "Mr. Boom Boom," "Walang Sisihan," and Tessie Tomas’s parody of PAGASA weatherman Amado Pineda as "Amanda Pineda."
In 1985, it was rumored that RPN, then owned by President Ferdinand Marcos' crony Roberto Benedicto, had cancelled the show. Allegedly, some of the show's gags did not sit well with the administration.
Champoy initially appealed to educated Filipinos and later gained popularity with the broader audience. Herrero and Trinidad were often compared to Laurel and Hardy in the Philippines due to their performances on the show.
