Talent manager and showbiz columnist Lolit Solis couldn’t imagine that television host Willie Revillame’s star would fade away one day.
In her Instagram post, Lolit said she was saddened by the current status of Willie’s career, who recently came from a failed stint on AllTV.
According to her, signs of Willie’s fading popularity were already showing, including the television host’s alleged difficulty in finding another network.
She even stated that no one talked about ‘Kuya Wil’ during the heat of the discussion between noontime shows.
“Para bang gusto mo na lang isipin parang isang panaginip na lang ang mga nagaganap. Hindi mo aakalain na ngayon naghahanap ng isang network si Willie Revillame na kukupkop sa kanya. Samantalang nuon kasikatan niya para siyang hari o king na hinahabol habol. Maiisip mo ba na isang Willie Revillame malalaos at wala ng pumapansin?” said Lolit.
“Hindi man lang siya napag usapan ng magkaruon ng issue ang mga afternoon shows dahil sa tapatan. Wala man lang naghanap sa isang Willie Revillame. Sa isang iglap bilang naging laos si Willie. Kaya nga ang advice namin sana mag retire muna siya at bumalik kung meron ng naghahanap sa kanya. Mukha naman kawawa ang isang Willie Revillame kung nandiyan siya at walang pumapansin di ba?” she added.
She even said that it’s better for Willie to retire completely and just enjoy the wealth he accumulated during the height of his career.
“Hindi na niya talaga panahon,wala na siya sa radar, dapat tahimik na lang siya at bilangin mga datung na naipon niya nuon. Mas maganda pa iyon, kesa parang pulubi na kumakatok sa mga pinto para mabigyan ng oras.” she said.
It can be recalled that Revillame became the closest rival of Eat Bulaga for almost a decade.
