Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman (transl. no sleeping with the master showman) formerly known as Master Showman Presents, is a Philippine television variety show broadcast by GMA Network. Originally hosted by German Moreno, along with John Nite, Shermaine Santiago, Jackie Lou Blanco and Shirley Fuentes, it premiered on February 8, 1997, on the network's Saturday evening line up. The show concluded on February 13, 2016, with a total of 977 episodes.

Known for its tagline "Walang Tulugan!", it is the longest running late night variety television show in the Philippines.

Overview

The show was originally titled Master Showman Presents. It premiered as a late-night variety talk show similar to GMA Supershow in the late 1970s. Master Showman was German Moreno's trademark moniker during his reign as one of television's top hosts in the early 1980s and 1990s, due to his hosting roles in variety shows such as GMA Supershow and That's Entertainment.

When GMA Network decided to make a title out of his famous moniker, Moreno introduced the catchphrase "Walang Tulugan!" (transl. no sleeping!) during the show. Master Showman originally aired live from the GMA Broadway Centrum in Quezon City, Philippines. When the show moved to GMA Network Center, it ceased its live broadcast and filmed two episodes instead, every other Friday. In 2005, Walang Tulugan was incorporated in the show's title.

On January 8, 2016, Moreno died due to cardiac arrest. A special live tribute episode was filmed at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Shrine, Quezon City on January 9, where Moreno's wake was being held.[2]

Actress Nora Aunor, became a temporary main host of the show. Aunor said that she was "willing" to continue the advocacy of Moreno to help establish the careers of young aspirants that wish to join Philippine entertainment industry.[3] The show aired its final episode on February 13, 2016.
