Happy Time was a Philippine noontime variety show broadcast by Net 25. The program premiered on September 14, 2020, and is presented by comedian Anjo Yllana. [1] The newest noontime variety show on Philippine television before TV5's Lunch Out Loud (and first of Net 25) joins the ranks of established programs such as Eat Bulaga! (of which its male hosts are alumni of), It's Showtime , Wowowee , and Wowowin , incorporating tried-and-tested elements while crafting its own unique identity to allure and assist the viewing public during the COVID-19 pandemic.
