History


''ASAP'' first decade (1995–2003)

When '' Sa Linggo nAPO Sila'' became '' 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila'' to replace '' Eat Bulaga!'' (which left ABS-CBN to transfer to GMA Network after TAPE Inc. denied ABS-CBN's offer to buy the airing rights of the show), a TV show was conceptualized by a group of production people from the displaced ''APO'' show in January 1995 as a "concert party" on Sundays. Martin Nievera accidentally joined the group while on break from taping his eponymous talk show. He gave the show the title acronym ''ASAP'' which stood for ''All-Star Sunday Afternoon Party''. The production group decided to bring him and

) became co-hosts for the show to attract the younger viewers. In 1996, the show's line-up of co-hosts and performers evolved as it included different young stars from ABS-CBN's '' Talent Center'' ('' Ang TV'', '' Gimik'' and ''Star Circle''). The show also celebrated its first anniversary as it finally wrested the top spot away from its closest rival '' GMA Supershow''. The show became victorious in 1997 as they celebrated their 2nd anniversary from the Araneta Coliseum, as their erstwhile institutional rival show '' GMA Supershow'' folded up, replaced by SOP. The show originally had its own theme song, ''Hot na Hot sa ASAP'' in 1995. During the show's second anniversary, another theme song was released entitled ''Better Than Ever''. Initial broadcast commenced on February 5, 1995, at the Delta Theatre in Quezon Avenue. In 1997, they transferred to Studio 3 of the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Quezon City, sharing space with '' 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila''. However, the show hit a snag on May 10, 1998, when one of the main hosts, Martin Nievera resigned from the show because of marital issues with co-host (and now ex-wife)

On March 11 of the same year, the show created new sensations out of "The Hunks", a new group composed of long-time Kapamilya heartthrobs Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo, Jericho Rosales, Carlos Agassi and Bernard Palanca. Their phenomenal success as a group made noise around Philippine entertainment circles as they stormed their way through various appearances within ABS-CBN shows and concerts abroad. ''ASAP'' rival show '' SOP'' even got wind of the group's popularity by creating a spoof group, "Da HungHunks".

The move resulted in the network regaining lost audience share on weekends as both shows rated high against their rival counterparts. In 2004, ''ASAP'' gradually regained leadership with the addition of singing champions from

''ASAP Natin 'To'' (since 2018)

After ''ASAP Live'' in Sydney and the Himig Handog 2018 Grand Finals, it was confirmed through different showbiz websites that the show will undergo a reformat as ''ASAP Natin 'To'' which also coincides with the entry of Velasquez as one of the show's main hosts. Lui Andrada was named as the new business unit head of the show, replacing long-time business unit head Joyce Liquicia. Some of the show's cast were retained contrary to reports that some of them won't be seen on the show. On November 15, 2018, all social media accounts of ''ASAP'' unveiled the teaser and the new logo of the now revitalized show to be renamed ''ASAP Natin 'To''. Only the typeface since 2015 continues to be used, and no segments from the previous era were carried over. The reformatted show premiered on November 18, 2018, a week after the Himig Handog 2018 Grand Finals. On December 2, 2018, a new online show "I Want ASAP" was launched hosted by Robi Domingo, Donny Pangilinan, Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber. The online show airs at 11:30 am PHT, 15 minutes before the airing of ''ASAP Natin 'To'', replacing ASAP Chillout. On December 2, 2018, the show launched their first segment under the new format entitled The Greatest Showdown, featuring various singers. As of now, Martin Nievera and Jolina Magdangal are the only original remaining artists since the show's airing in 1995.


2020-present: 25th anniversary, COVID-19 lockdowns and ABS-CBN 2's indefinite shutdown

On January 5, 2020, ''ASAP Natin' To'' celebrated its 25th anniversary in advance, and also partly reverted to its original format. On February 9, 2020, ''ASAP Natin' To'' launched a new segment titled ASAP Concert Presents, with the Pair of Aces (

and Darren Espanto) performing on the first prod of the segment. On March 10, 2020, ''ASAP Natin 'To'', along with other ABS-CBN shows temporarily stopped the admission of the live studio audience as part of the country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. On March 15, 2020, as Metro Manila entered a lockdown, the show stopped staging live episodes and aired replays for the first 2 weeks, despite having a scheduled live episode that was supposed to be staged on the said date, but was cancelled due to the lockdown. The show later taped new episodes via

's timeslot of 2:30 pm until May 3, 2020, which was its last airing before the shutdown of ABS-CBN's free to air stations. The move was part of ABS-CBN's temporary programming schedule due to the Luzon Lockdown done to stop the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, and in response to rival network GMA extending ''Kapuso Movie Festival'' to a two-movie block, which made the network extend the Sunday edition of ''Kapamilya Blockbusters Family Weekend'' to two movies. On May 5, 2020, the National Telecommunications Commission issued a cease and desist order against ABS-CBN Corporation, forcing all of its free-to-air television and radio stations to temporarily suspend their operations due to the expiration of its legislative franchise, causing ASAP, as well as the rest of ABS-CBN shows to temporarily suspend their airings. On June 14, 2020, the show resumed its in-studio taping/live staging (once a month) of new episodes for broadcast on cable-and-satellite channel Kapamilya Channel, with a virtual audience being admitted in place of an actual studio audience while using artificial crowd noise. Also on the same day, iWant ASAP resumed its telecast via a

Owing to safety precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the show entails a 4-day lock-in taping set-up to produce 3 episodes per taping cycle, with only the episode done during the lock-in period being staged live from the studio itself. In August 2020, ASAP was reduced to a 2-hour airtime again since 2015 after the franchise of ABS-CBN was denied by the Congress. In September 2020, ASAP's main director Johnny Manahan and cast members Piolo Pascual, Billy Crawford, Maja Salvador, Catriona Gray, Maris Racal, Donny Pangilinan and Zephanie left the show. They were signed up by independent television producer Brightlight Productions for new shows that air on TV5 under a blocktime agreement between the network and the aforementioned.

In March 2021, certain performers who were part of Sunday Noontime Live!, such as Donny Pangilinan, Maris Racal and Zephanie returned to ASAP after their stint in the said show. On April 4 and 11, 2021, ''ASAP Natin 'To'' temporarily aired replays of previous episodes as a result of suspending taping/live staging of new episodes after airing two pre-taped episodes due to the reimposed enhanced community quarantine caused by the surge of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the

The show later extended its airtime to 2 hours and 15 minutes. She is expected to return to in-studio performances on December 11, 2022 through a taped episode, 2 years after her last in-studio performance. On November 5, 2022, ASAP returned to the international scene after two years of hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Its first international show since the pandemic was held at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ratings

ASAP was consistently the leading Sunday noontime show on Philippine television from 1995 until it went down to no. 2 in 2002, when '' SOP'' took over. It ranked number one again throughout 2003 and 2004, but went back to number 2 when GMA became the leading network in Mega Manila. ASAP once again became the ratings leader from 2007 until early 2020; and the ratings leadership became more intense in 2009 which caused the reformatting of ''SOP'' in November of that year.
