Wilfredo "Willie" Buendia Revillame (Tagalog: [wɪlˌpɾɛː.do bwɛnˌdiː.ɐ ɾɛˌbiːl.jɐˈmɛ]; born January 27, 1961), is a Filipino television host, actor, comedian, drummer, singer, and businessman. He has hosted numerous variety shows, such as Lunch Date, 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila and MTB. During his stint at ABS-CBN, Revillame hosted the variety show Wowowee (2005–2010), which gained immense popularity in the country while receiving controversy for a deadly stampede and a game show scandal. When he ended his contract with ABS-CBN during a legal dispute in 2010, Revillame continued to host similarly formatted programs on other networks, such as Willing Willie or Wil Time Bigtime (2010–2013), Wowowillie (2013), Wowowin (2015–2023), and Wil To Win (2024–present). In 2022, Revillame assisted politician and businessman Manny Villar in establishing the television network ALLTV, to which he signed on as its first media personality.
Revillame is widely recognized for his charitable acts, often giving away his trademark jackets, stacks of cash, and other prizes to audience members, participants, and individuals in need through his television programs and outdoor events. Revillame unsuccessfully ran for senator as an independent in the 2025 election.
