It's Showtime host Vice Ganda was called out by netizens after allegedly 'disrespecting' co-host Karylle in their February 2 episode.
During the noontime show's first segment, all hosts were exchanging banters when suddenly Karylle raised co-host Vhong Navarro's concern, recalling a past episode when he was not able to sing the song he rehearsed.
"Vice may request si Vhongskie. Kasi last time nagre-rehearse siya sa umaga tapos binigay mo sa iba 'yung kanta niya," the female host said.
Vice's answer did not sit well with viewers as it was considered out of the line.
"Anong problema natin, Karylle?" the comedian responded.
Karylle then explained, "Natatawa lang kami kasi nga ni-practice daw."
Vice Ganda responded with sarcasm dismissing the female host's effort on joining the conversation.
"Oh, 'e 'di sana kinanta mo. Okay na 'yan Karylle," he added.
Clips of the episode circulated online and received mixed reactions from netizens.

Dito palang, ramdam mo na. I felt bad for Karylle. She deserves better. Kung may ill feeling ka, be professional on screen and talk it out privately di yung on national tv pa talaga na parang bastusan. @vicegandako pic.twitter.com/GmcGSiulSJ

Karylle doesn't deserve this kind of treatment from the show that she treated her second home for almost 13 years. @itsShowtimeNa anyare sainyo? Mas importante pa ba sina Cianne, Ion, Kim, Ogie, MC at Lassy kesa dun sa mas nagtagal sainyo through thick and thin?
