There’s something exciting about seeing talk shows make a comeback, especially when some of showbiz’s most entertaining personalities come together for one lively conversation. This time, three of the industry’s most fun and outspoken hosts are teaming up to bring a fresh dose of humor, opinions, and, of course, chismis to Sunday nights.
The newest Sunday night ka-chismisan for Kapuso viewers has arrived. Premiering on GTV this September 13, “Kalurks!” is set to become a one-stop destination for everything trending — from the hottest showbiz issues and viral moments to the stories everyone seems to be talking about.
Leading the new talk show is an unexpected but entertaining trio: Ashley Rivera, DJ Jhai Ho, and Baus Rufo. Together, they form the “Kalurker Trio,” each bringing a distinct personality and perspective as they break down the biggest topics and most talked-about stories of the week.
The title “Kalurks!” perfectly captures the spirit of the show. Today’s modern-day marites are almost always online. Some are quick to comment, react, and share, while others prefer to quietly watch from the sidelines—the ultimate lurkers. Combining the Pinoy expression “kaloka” with the word “lurker,” “Kalurks!” promises fun, chaotic, surprising, and sometimes downright nakakalokang conversations. On the show, these new-generation marites are affectionately called “kalurkers.”
With the energetic Kalurker Trio at the center of the conversation, Sunday nights are bound to become more amusing and entertaining, giving viewers plenty to talk about before facing another week.
What makes the trio interesting is how different their backgrounds and personalities are. DJ Jhai Ho, a familiar name in showbiz radio and television, takes on the role of the Showbiz Kalurker. He leads the discussion on the latest celebrity happenings, hot issues, and stories making waves in the entertainment scene.
Baus Rufo serves as the SocMed Kalurker, keeping a close eye on what is taking over social media. From viral posts and internet personalities to the latest online conversations, Baus makes sure the Kalurkers are never out of the loop.
Meanwhile, Ashley Rivera is the No Filter Kalurker, bringing her honest and unfiltered opinions to the table. With experience in both showbiz and social media, Ashley offers her perspective on the issues of the moment, particularly from the point of view of a woman who isn’t afraid to say what she thinks.
Together, the three hosts will keep viewers updated on the stories everyone is talking about, offering commentary that can be candid, biting, playful, or downright hilarious. “Kalurks!” will also welcome showbiz stars and viral personalities, giving them the chance to tell their side of the story and share their insights directly with viewers.
And because no proper Sunday-night chismisan would be complete without a little mystery, Kalurkers can also look forward to juicy blind items covering showbiz, politics, and practically anything under the sun.
So if you love staying in the know—and maybe doing a little harmless marites-ing along the way—“Kalurks!” might just become your new Sunday-night habit.
Catch “Kalurks!” every Sunday from 8:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on GTV. Global Pinoys can also watch the program via GMA Life TV.
Full episodes are exclusively available on GMA Network’s website, while show highlights, the latest showbiz news, and other exclusive content can be found on the official “Kalurks!” social media accounts.
