The show has found its new home on free TV.
Starting this Saturday, October 10, TV5 will air the eponymous talk show of actor-entrepreneur Matteo Guidicelli as part of its Weekend Trip block.
Entitled Matteo G. Primetime, the show first graced the screens on both the Bilyonaryo News Channel and the 36-year-old star’s own YouTube channel in April 2026.
In the said program, he sits down with different guests as they converse about personal matters and engage in games that not only bring fun, but also reveal more about them.
The first few installements saw the appearances of Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo, Piolo Pascual, Julia Barretto, Erwan Heussaff, and Nico Bolzico.
Matteo G. Primetime has a strong following on YouTube, with viewership hovering within the range of more than 100,000 views in most episodes.
However, in late May, the show was quietly axed by the Bilyonaryo News Channel. While the reason was not revealed, observers noted the surprise appearance of Guidicelli on the TV5 flagship primetime newscast Frontline Pilipinas as the possible reason.
Around that time, Matteo was the showbiz anchor of BNC’s own primetime news show, Agenda, which airs directly opposite TV5’s news show.
He was there to promote his upcoming multi-part documentary series for Cignal TV’s One News and One PH channels entitled The Patriots, which follows the lives of the men and women in duty for the country.
He also announced his special participation in the Kapatid network’s primetime drama series A Secret In Prague, where he reunited with lead star Enrique Gil after last starring together in Dolce Amore and Bagani.
Neither the channel, Matteo, or his agency Viva Artists Agency have issued any statement on the matter since then.
Matteo G. Primetime will begin airing every Saturday at 9:30 pm, right after Maalaala Mo Kaya, on TV5 this October 10.
