Wowowillie

***Wowowillie*** (formerly *Willing Willie*) was a Philippine noontime variety show aired by GMA Network. The show premiered on October 23, 2010, replacing Everyday Live! in it's noontime slot, and was broadcast live from the Wowowillie Studio in Quezon City, with its main host and producer, Willie Revillame. The show earned the distinction of being the only noontime program to have a Strong Parental Guidance rating from the MTRCB, which was imposed due to the dancers' provocative outfits.

In September 2013, Revillame confirmed that he will end Wowowillie in October to take a break on showbiz. The show aired its final episode on October 12, 2013. It was replaced by Happy Time on October 14, 2013 but was cancelled on December 29, 2014 and aired it's final episode on January 23, 2015 and was replaced by Wil Time Bigtime.
