Wacky Kiray was crowned as the first Greatest Entertainer on June 4, 2017, beating Cristine Reyes by a margin of 10.66%.

Format

Eight celebrities, referred to as iCANdidates, showcase their talents every week with different entertainment acts that performers perfected for years. Together with the guest performers, they will learn the skills needed and rehearse the act for a week. After one week of training, they perform their acts in front of a studio audience, with the public and fellow iCANdidates voting on the best performance of the week. At the end of 12 weeks, the celebrity with the most points from the judges earns a trophy, 1 million pesos, and the title of "The Greatest Entertainer".

Selection of Acts

At the start of the show, the guest entertainers perform their act on stage. If the iCANdidate likes what they see and wants to perform the act on the next episode, they must go down the iCAN steps. They may only do so once the sound and lighting cue flashes. The first iCANdidate at the last step locks in the act. Afterwards, the iCANdidate picks his or her partner in the act. If no one locks in the act after the performance, the hosts have the power to choose one iCANdidate who will perform it next week. The chosen contestant still gets to pick his or her partner. The process repeats until all iCANdidates are assigned to an act. The last act is automatically assigned to the remaining iCANdidates who were not able to choose an act.

Scoring system

After all iCANdidates have performed, the iCANdidates rank the acts through their smartphone — 3 points for the first place, 2 for second, and 1 for third; they may not vote for their own act. Once the iCANdidates have finished voting, the audience votes for the act they liked best. The act with the most votes from the audience receives 3 points. The audience vote is only valid if the majority of the audience voted (51%).

The act with the highest combined points from iCANdidates and audience becomes the "Entertainer of the Week" and receives ₱50,000.

Elimination

During a particular week, the two (three in double elimination week) iCANdidates with the lowest cumulative points are declared eCANdidate (short for elimination candidate) and hereby nominated for elimination. After a short message from each eCANdidate, the audience votes for who they want to save. The eCANdidate with the highest percent of votes is saved; the other eCANdidates are eliminated.
