Eric Nicolas on new beginnings

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of hosting an event with my comedian, Eric Nicolas. In between our spiels and comedic ad-libs, he excitedly told me about his newest project with Melai Cantiveros - the fresh, high-energy show "Lucky ng Kita," now streaming live on YouTube via ABS-CBN Entertainment and airing on the Kapamilya Channel from Mondays to Thursdays at the 6 p.m. slot of the show.

Knowing both Melai and Eric personally, I immediately felt this show was the perfect platform for two hosts who thrive on spontaneity, authenticity, and unfiltered connection with the audience.

As a performer myself, I understand how crucial chemistry is in a live setup, and Melai and Eric have chemistry in spades. Melai brings her signature charm - the kind that disarms you and makes you feel like you're chatting with a close friend. Eric, on the other hand, carries a humor sharpened by years of comedy but softened by a genuinely kind heart.
