Ang TV (“The TV” in English) is a "gag-variety" show for kids in the Philippines. The show's format was inspired by its predecessor "Kaluskos Musmos" (a popular Philippine kiddie gag show in the '70s aired over RPN-9) and its foreign counterpart "The Mickey Mouse Club". Prior to 1992, Director Johnny Manahan enlisted a group of multi-talented kids (& pre-teens) to create the first ever gag-variety show for youngsters in the Philippines.

Most of the country's current stars can point their humble beginnings to Ang TV. Popular celebrities like Claudine Barretto, Angelu de Leon, Jolina Magdangal, Rica Peralejo, John Prats, Camille Prats, Paolo Contis, Angelica Panganiban, Patrick Garcia, Mark Vernal, Kevin Vernal, Christopher Roxas, Marc Conwi (Kenneth Guanio), Kaye Abad, Alfred Manal, Roselle Nava, Carlo Aquino - to name a few - all jump-started their careers as mainstays of the variety show.
