All-Star Sunday Afternoon Party (ASAP; Tagalog: [ˈasap]), currently branded as ASAP Natin 'To (lit. '"This Is Our ASAP"'), is a Philippine television musical variety show produced by ABS-CBN Entertainment.
Originally hosted by Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez, Ariel Rivera and Dayanara Torres, it is currently hosted by Nievera along with Zsa Zsa Padilla, Gary Valenciano, Sarah Geronimo, Erik Santos, Luis Manzano, Kim Chiu, Enchong Dee, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, and Janine Gutierrez.The show premiered on February 5, 1995, replacing its predecessor Sa Linggo nAPO Sila and became the longest running Sunday noontime variety show, after surpassing rival network GMA's GMA Supershow’s record of nearly two decades. In October 2015, ASAP became the first live entertainment program in the Philippines to be broadcast in true high-definition picture, the other being a sports program and It's Showtime.[1]
ASAP premiered on ABS-CBN, where it aired until May 2020, when the broadcast of the network was halted due to its non-renewal of its franchise. New live episodes have since aired in the Kapamilya Channel, a pay network set up by ABS-CBN Corporation with simulcasts on the broadcaster's other cable channel which is Jeepney TV. A2Z and TV5 have also received rights to broadcast ASAP through the partnership of the networks' firms with ABS-CBN. The program is also streamed online via iWantTFC, TFC IPTV and Kapamilya Online Live. It is also aired internationally through The Filipino Channel on cable and satellite.
Notes edit
