History
When "Sa Linggo nAPO Sila" became "'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila" to replace Eat Bulaga which left ABS-CBN to transfer to GMA Network, ASAP was conceptualized and launched in 1995 as a "concert party" on Sundays. Then, Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez, along with Ariel Rivera and Dayanara Torres were tapped as main hosts for the show. The cast of "Pare Ko" (Claudine Barretto, Victor Neri, Roselle Nava, Gio Alvarez, Jolina Magdangal, Jao Mapa, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Nikka Valencia) and later on jointed by Marvin Agustin, Rico Yan, Diether Ocampo, Carlos Agassi, Baron Geisler, and Mylene Dizon (from the youth-oriented show - GIMIK) and Rica Peralejo. became co-hosts for the show to attract the younger viewers. In 1996, the show celebrated its first anniversary and later top-caliber leading man Piolo Pascual joined the show. Welcomes Carol Banawa, John Lloyd Cruz, Jericho Rosales, and Lea Salonga in 1997 and the ASAP family. When Dayanara Torres left the country, Charlene Gonzales took her place. Channel V’s Joey Mead also joined the show for a while. By 1998, regular guest Zsa Zsa Padilla became a regular host the following year. After Martin Nievera left, Richard Gomez took his place. In March 1999, Onemig Bondoc joined the group. The SOP hosts Vina Morales & Mo Twister also joined the show.
The show originally had their own theme song, Hot na Hot sa ASAP in 1995. In the show's 2nd anniversary, another theme song was released, Better Than Ever. Initial broadcast commenced on February 5, 1995 at the Delta Theatre in Quezon Avenue. In March 1998, they transferred to their own studio at the Studio 10 of the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center in Quezon City.
In 2003, the show was reformatted as ASAP Mania, after which some of its original hosts went to the show SOP Rules. In 2004, ASAP regained leadership with the addition of singing champions Sarah Geronimo, Mark Bautista, Rachelle Ann Go, Frenchie Dy, Sheryn Regis, and Erik Santos along with their runners-up. In 2005 the format changed to ASAP '05 and later Toni Gonzaga joined ASAP. In 2006, the show launched a somewhat complicated logo where the words ASAP were made out of dots connected which had been in use until 2014. In February 2007, Lani Misalucha joined ASAP. Ex-SOP performers Karylle (daughter of Zsa Zsa Padilla) and Billy Crawford, joined ASAP in 2008.[1]
On January 3, 2010, the show was relaunched as ASAP XV to mark its fifteenth anniversary. In the show's special anniversary on February 7, 2010, a new set was introduced. After the year numbers in the show title wasn't adapted in 2010, a new show named ASAP Rocks launched January 2, 2011. On April 3, 2011, a new set was introduced. On January 1, 2012, the show was launched as ASAP 2012.
On January 6, 2013, the show was renamed ASAP 18 to commemorate the show's 18th anniversary. On January 5, 2014, the show was renamed ASAP 19 to commemorate the show's 19th anniversary. On January 4, 2015, the show was renamed ASAP 20 to commemorate the show's 20th anniversary. It launched a new, simple logo that replaced the one being used in 2006.
The show was also known for being the venue show for the premiere of ABS-CBN summer station IDs. Actress Iza Calzado left Party Pilipinas in 2012, and moved to ASAP after ten years at GMA Network (GMA). R&B Royalties Jay-R and Kyla bolted out of Sunday All Stars, and moved to ASAP, after they decided to not renew their contract with GMA, their network for almost eleven years. In addition, ASAP Dance Goddess Sarah Lahbati also performed regularly on her remarkable fierce and sizzling sexy dance moves who is also one of Kapuso turned Kapamilya after 5 years.[2] In 2015, they had a tough ratings battle with GMA's new noontime show Sunday PinaSaya showcasing comedy skits than musical numbers. The show made some additional segments on their show like a short skit and games with Kapamilya stars. Its host Martin Nievera clarified his reaction saying he believes these changes in the format of the show are a way to “satisfy many markets with dignity and class.” However, the management cut its running-length to 2 hours, when its comedy gag show Banana Split Extra Scoop was transferred to Sunday as Banana Sundae on November 15, 2015. In early December 2015, Elmo Magalona, son of Philippine King of Rap Francis Magalona, transferred to ABS-CBN and joined ASAP after 6 years in GMA Network.
As a part of their 20th anniversary, a theme song ASAP Let's Celebrate was sung by the ASAP Stars as well as a new logo (different font and concept just as the font that started in ASAP '06). On January 3, 2016, for the first time in 13 years, the show retained the title ASAP alone. Thereafter, Sarah Geronimo, Piolo Pascual, Luis Manzano and Toni Gonzaga were promoted as main hosts of the show.
On January 10, 2016, just with Sunday Pinasaya on GMA Network, the show was tributed to German Moreno by singing the song called "Send in the Clowns" by Martin Nievera, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and other hosts. The song that sang by the host is reference to German Moreno's portrayal in Payaso in 1986. On late February 2016, former GMA Network singer Jonalyn Viray, transferred to ABS-CBN under the screen name "Jona" and officially joins ASAP.
