replaced her. However, after an on-air dispute between Mo Twister and Maui Taylor, Maui Taylor resigned from the show on May 30, 2008. Andi9 once again became her replacement but for only a few months as she would eventually retire from the show once more in November 2008. Mo and Andi9 allegedly had a relationship and Andi's parents was against Mr. Gumatay. Grace Lee was then assigned as their third female co-host. Since June 5, 2006, Good Times with Mo was placed in the morning slot and is one of the Top 5 morning shows in Philippine Radio (both in FM and AM). Since January 22, 2012, Angelika left the show due to conflicts with co-host Grace Lee. In February 2012, Mojo resigned from Good Times due to health reasons though he is still part of the radio. Suzy was introduced to the show. On March 6, 2012, it was announced that Grace Lee had resigned from the show. She was replaced by Mia Bayuga. On November 5, 2012, Makoy Pare ("Showbiz Bro"), a regular caller of the show, was given his own segment and was introduced to the show. In his segment, Makoy Pare ("Showbiz Bro") is called by the hosts to provide "local showbiz news". He is currently the longest running co-host of the show. In 2013, the show was under a five-month suspension and was replaced by ''First Thing in the Morning'', hosted by

The show was temporarily a two-(wo)man army with Mo and Sam for many months (while also having guest co-hosts in Guji Lorenzana & Mara Aquino) before Bustos was officially replaced by Nikko Ramos in late November 2015.

guested on ''Good Times with Mo''. A few weeks later, he officially became a regular guest co-host once every week on the show until March 7, 2017. In March 2018, DJ Sam Oh announced that she will be taking an indefinite leave from the show to do the Camino de Santiago. After she left in April, the show had numerous people sit-ins as they search for a new co-host in the event that Sam Oh does not return. On August 13, 2018, it was announced that KC Montero would be the new co-host. Later towards the end of 2018, Nikko Ramos left the show, unannounced. Since then, Hannah Bacani filled-in for his place until in January 2019, when she is now the permanent co-host of the show replacing Ramos. In October 2019, CJ Rivera and Suzy replaced Bacani when the latter moved to a new show "Wake Up Manila" airing from 5:00~7:00 a.m., while the former's show (Sunny Side Up) merged with Good Times thus reverting the show to a 3-hour program from a two-hour show which was done during Magic 89.9's reorganization of programming earlier that year.
