Vic Sotto (April 28, 1954)



Vic Sotto
April 28, 1954

Marvic Castelo Sotto (born April 28, 1954), known as Vic Sotto, is a Filipino actor, television show host, comedian, and film producer who worked for the three major TV stations GMA Network, TV5 and ABS-CBN. He owns a film and TV production outfit named M - Zet Productions. He is one of the pioneer hosts of Eat Bulaga! which is the longest running noon-time variety show in the Philippines. He won three consecutive titles for Philippine Box Office King (2004, 2005, and 2006).

Marvic Castelo Sotto was born on April 28, 1954 to Marcelino Ojeda Sotto, Sr. and Dr. Herminia Castelo. He studied at Colegio de San Juan de Letran. He is the brother of Marcelino "Maru" Sotto, Jr., Vicente "Tito" Sotto, and Valmar "Val" Sotto
He started his career as a folk singer and guitarist. During these years, Sotto was also the lead vocalist of the disco funk band VST & Company. He produced such songs as "Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko", "Rock, Baby, Rock", and "Kung Sakali".

He joined his brothers Tito and Val in the early 1970s gag show OK Lang under IBC 13. This is where he met another comedian, Joey de Leon, who invited the brothers to join him. The trio of Tito, Vic and Joey (TVJ) was thus formed, casting in Iskul Bukol, TVJ (Television's Jesters), Rock and Roll 2000 and hosting Eat Bulaga!
In the last three decades, he has done sitcoms and television shows for 3 networks, ABS-CBN, GMA Network and TV5 (most of which were for GMA).

Sotto has 4 children from previous relationships: Vico Sotto (with actress Coney Reyes), Danica Sotto-Pingris and Oyo Sotto (with actress Dina Bonnevie) and Paulina Sotto (with former commercial model / TV actress Angela Luz).

Sotto confirmed his engagement to Eat Bulaga! co-host Pauleen Luna last September 2015. The couple married last January 30, 2016 at Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City
