Whattamen is a Philippine primetime weekly sitcom that aired on
ABS-CBN which was aired from September 12, 2001 to February 18, 2004.
It was written by renowned writer-director Jose Javier Reyes and
directed by John-D Lazatin, the sitcom starred matinee idols Rico Yan,
Marvin Agustin and Dominic Ochoa, and comedian Ai-Ai delas Alas.Rico,
Marvin and Dominic's on-screen chemistry was first seen in the
network's Saturday youth oriented show Gimik from 1997 to 1999. At
that time, they were not performing yet as a group but they were close
friends off-cam despite their solo careers as young actors. After
"Gimik" was cancelled, the trio would continue appearing in different
ABS-CBN programs, mostly on primetime soap operas. In 2000, Rico,
Marvin and Dominic appeared as guest co-hosts for Megastar Sharon
Cuneta's birthday celebration. Their one-off hosting stint at "Sharon"
was well-received, noting there was chemistry and rapport between the
three.In late 2000, the network launched "Star Magic Presents", a
weekly program that showcased ABS-CBN's homegrown talents in different
entertainment formats. They chose Rico, Marvin and Dominic to headline
the pilot episode of the program, a mini-sitcom entitled "Whattamen".
They were joined by Jannette Mc Bride, Gabe Mercado and JM Rodriguez.
The episode garnered high ratings for "Star Magic". The group did
another episode of "Whattamen" a month after and also received high
ratings again. This led the network to officially launch Rico, Marvin
and Dominic in the noontime show "Magandang Tanghali Bayan" as a trio
in early 2001 following the exit of one of its main host, Willie
Revillame.While doing "MTB", the newly formed Whattamen trio made
waves everywhere. In September 12, 2001, "Whattamen" became a
full-length primetime weekly sitcom, occupying the Wednesday night
time slot. Comedian Ai-Ai delas Alas joined the show as one of the
main cast. Whattamen Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
