The Mind: My Own Personal Idea Factory

About 2 weeks ago, I was a guest on a Filipino radio show here in Toronto. We talked about issues concerning the Filipino Community and discussed light-hearted Pinoy tidbits like the TABO, TSINELAS, and BALUT. 

We also talked about some of the details regarding my upcoming talk show currently being prepared for September. I told the DJ that I wanted the talk show to be a fun place where people, Pinoys and non-Pinoys alike, can come together through good ‘ole fashion humor and clean fun.

I’d like to think of my show as sort of the “Asian version” of the Ellen DeGeneres show, where you can be anyone and still have a great time being a part of the program.

This is a sample poster I made. The talk show will be called “Showtime! with Johnny Bautista”. Yes, I’ll be wearing a suit for the show.

We are still in the early stages of pre-production, but I’m already excited. One of the visions I have the show is for it to be a bridge between the Filipino Community and the rest of the world. We would have Filipino and non-Pinoy guests over, even have a diverse mix of people for our studio audience.

Want to see the show but don’t live in Canada? NO PROBLEM!

One of the things we’re also planning is setting up an official website for the show. We will use the website to interact with people, post photos from the show, feature video clips, and also use it as a way to get show submissions for segments. I want to get as many people as I can to be a part of the show. 

The talk show will not be about me. It will be centred around YOU - the viewer. Without your support, the talk show will not be a reality. It is my job as host to make sure that you have a great time. So let’s all have fun!

I will be posting updates regarding the talk show as soon as I get them. When I know, you’ll know. Hang tight!
