Champoy is a 1980s comedy gag television show from the Philippines. The show starred Subas Herrero, Tessie Tomas, and Noel Trinidad, and featured Mitch Valdez, Cherie Gil, and Gary Lising. It aired on RPN-9 from 1980 to 1985. The show aired every Thursdays from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM during its run.[1]

Popular segments of the show were Mr. Boom Boom, Walang Sisihan, and Tessie Tomas spoofing the great PAGASA weatherman Amado Pineda as Amanda Pineda.

In 1985, the show was rumored to have been cancelled by RPN, which was then owned by President Ferdinand Marcos' crony, Roberto S. Benedicto. Some of the show's gags were allegedly not amusing to the administration.

Reception

Champoy appealed to educated Filipinos, and it eventually became popular with the masses.
