Joey de Leon is a Filipino actor, born Jose Maria Ramos de Leon on 14th of October 1946 in Manila, he is famous for his wit, green jokes and sarcasm. Joey de Leon is one of the original host of the long-running noontime show EAT BULAGA and member of the famous comedy trio TVJ (Tito, Vic and JOEY). His career could be said to be out of luck and talent, his career started when his friend invited him to watch a DJ audition where he was accidentally been mistaken for an applicant, he tried out and landed himself a job as a DJ.
JOEY DE LEON AS A DJ
He's career as a DJ(Disk Jockey) started in the 1960's for some of the top FM stations mostly owned by the pre-martial law ABS-CBN. Inday Badiday, Ike Lozada, Johny de Leon(not related to him) and Helen Vela were some of his radio colleagues and contemporaries. In a span of five years, he worked in 12 different FM stations while doing other jobs as gag writer and song writer.
AS A HOST
In 1975, Joey became a co-host of GMA Network's early afternoon show DISCORAMA hosted by Bobby Ledesma, which during that time hardly had any viewers and suffered from low ratings. While Bobby was on vacation he asked Joey to take care of the show, during this time Joey asked his former co-stars in the gag show OK Lang, brothers Tito, Vic and Val Sotto to join him at Discorama. Only Tito and Vic accepted his invitation, the newly formed trio started to do comedy newscast segments interspersed with Top 40 hit song-parodies written by Joey. With Tito and Vic, they gave the show a new lease on life and was saved from being axed by the network executives, soon after they were invited to become part of Bobby's noontime show Student Canteen as they release 12 hit albums based on their Discorama Tough Hits segment. In 1979, with Tito and Vic he hosted the noontime show Eat Bulaga, which was pitted against the more established Student Canteen hosted by their former colleague Bobby Ledesma. It didn't took long for Eat Bulaga to topple Student Canteen from the ratings. As a host Joey de Leon had hosted a lot of shows besides Eat Bulaga, including Mel and Joey, Joey's Quirky World, Star Talk, Wow Mali, Nuts Entertainment and many more.
AS A COMEDIAN
His first TV break wa
s in a gag show in IBC's OK Lang, where stared him alongside the Sotto Brothers (Tito, Vic and Val), Ricky Manalo Jr. and the APO Hiking Society. With his wits Joey can make a joke about almost anything, he can give double meanings to a lot of words, he can also make good funny excuses for the things he says that others might find offensive and he can think of funny things about a lot of topics, this natural ability landed him a lot of jobs in gag shows and sitcoms. In the 80's he topbilled the sitcom Joey and son in RPN, where he played the role of Ian Veneracion's father. He was also one of the comedian on TODAS where his co-stars included Jimmy Santos and Val Sotto.
AS A SINGER-SONGWRITER
As a songwriter Joey had penned a lot of hit songs that a lot of Filipinos considers as classics, these songs are "Ipagpatawad Mo"(Forgive Me), "Awitin Mo, Isasayaw Ko"(Sing and I Will Dance), "Boyfrend Kong Baduy"(My Geek Boyfriend) and "Iskul Bukol"(School Lump). As a singer Joey recorded song-parodies and songs that is of a naughty theme, such songs are "Itaktak mo", "Kagat Labi", "Spaghetti Song"(which he recorded with the sexbomb dancers) and "Walang Daya"(No Cheating).
AS A MOVIE ACTOR
As a movie actor Joey together with Tito and Vic had
been casted in a lot of hit comedy movies like "Kabayo Kids", "Super One, Two, Three" and "Iskul Bukol the Reunion". As a solo comedian he also had topbilled in many hit movies most are spoofs of famous foreign movies or takes at American and Filipino Pop cultures, including "Starzan"(spoof of Tarzan), "Barbi", "Elvis and James" and "Long Ranger and Tonton". In 1989 his movie Starzan became a box-office hit, in the same year he did two more sequels of the movie which also became a big hit. Because of the success the three Starzan movies that he made, he was named Box-Office King for that year. He also earned the title Sequel King for most of his movies each spawned sequels.
AS A COLUMNIST
As a columnist Joey used to write for the broad sheet Manila Bulletin in his column "De Leon's Den", but on July 31, 2008 he tendered his irrevocable resignation when a news article was published in the Manila Bulletin's sister tabloid news paper Balita that says that Eat Bulaga's show in LA was a flop. Today Joey de Leon continues to write his column on the Philippine Star another broad sheet here in the Philippines.
AS A PAINTER
Joey de Leon also knows how to paint, last June 30 he mounted a back-to-back exhibit with Igan D'Bayan at The Crucible Gallery entitled "Fish and Chips". In the said exhibit Joey presents clown and fish paintings in acrylic, using casino chips from his personal collection as a metaphor for chance and "accidental beauty".
Indeed Joey de Leon is a person of many talent, I personally admires his wits and abilities. It seems that when God sent a storm of talent to the world, while most was inside their home he's outside with a barrel. He indeed is a jack of all traits, master of all.

In Eat Bulaga every time a host yells "Bossing!!!" the crowd instantly goes wild, for they know bossing is about to enter the stage. Who is bossing you say? If you don't know him, it only means two things, either you don't watch television or you are not a Filipino.
Vic Sotto or "Bossing", was born Marvic Castelo Sotto on the 28th of April 1954, is one of the original host of the longest running noontime t.v. show Eat Bulaga. Aside from being a host and an actor he is also a producer, composer and a singer if there is one talent that he doesn't posses that is dancing.
Bossing who's an alumnus of Colegio de San Juan de Letran (Manila), started his career as a folk singer and a guitarist, on the early 70's he joined the gag show "OK Lang" which aired on IBC TV Network with his brothers Tito and Val Sotto. Also during these years he became the lead vocalist of the disco funk band VST & Company, with his band mates they produced hit songs like "Ipagpatawad Mo", "Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko", “Rock, Baby, Rock" with his lifetime friend Joey de Leon whom he met in the show "OK Lang". Together with Joey and his brother Tito Sotto, they formed the most successful comedy trio here in the Philippines, the TVJ(derived from their initials Tito, Vic and Joey) and was cast in shows like Iskul Bukol, TVJ: Television's Jesters, Rock and Roll 2000 and Eat Bulaga.
About his love li
fe bossing was once married to his ex-wife actress Dina Bonnevie, their offsprings were Oyo Boy Sotto and Danica Sotto who followed their footsteps and became showbiz personalities as well. But aside from his children with Dina, bossing also has two other children: Vico with actress Coney Reyes, and Paulina with actress Angela Luz. Presently bossing is in a relationship with fellow celebrity and co-host Pia Guanio which he met in Eat Bulaga.
Bossing also is an award winning actor, his awards includes: Three-time Box-Office King in Guillermo Mendoza's Entertainment Awards, Best Actor in a Comedy Series - PMPC Star Awards for Television (1986, 1989, 1996, 2001, & 2002) , Best Male Variety Show Host - PMPC Star Awards for Television (1989, 1992, 2000, 2002 & 2008), Lifetime Achievement Award (for TVJ) - PMPC Star Awards for Television 2000, Comedy Box Office King (with Dolphy) - 2009 Guillermo Mendoza's Entertainment Awards
But if you are wondering how did Vic Sotto got to be called "Bossing", this is because of his self-produced sitcom on 1987 "Okay Ka, Fairy Ko(Your O.K., My Fairy)". In this show which became so popular that it had released six spin-off movies, he played as Enteng Kabisote (a mortal who got married to a fairy princess) Prinsipe K (a wish granting fairy prince, K stands for kahilingan or wish) would always call him bossing, afterwards everybody would identify him as "Bossing".
