Originally produced by Willie Revillame's WBR Entertainment Productions Inc., it served as a blocktimer on GMA Network.

The show's Saturday edition, Wowowin Primetime premiered on February 15, 2020, on the network's Sabado Star Power sa Gabi line up replacing Daddy's Gurl.[7] Gab Valenciano, who was hired in January 2020 served as the director.[8] In March 2020, the admission of a live audience in the studio and production were suspended due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] The show resumed its programming on April 13, 2020.[10]
