Charismatic actor and beloved television host Luis Lucky Manzano is set to make his vibrant return to the dazzling world of show business. 
Lucky made a surprise appearance at the premiere of Sins of the Father at Gateway 2 in Araneta City on June 13, to support his wife, actress Jessy Mendiola, who is also making a TV comeback. This is also the first time the couple has made a showbiz appearance together in recent months.
Ako ang nagdirek nito. (I directed this one), joked Lucky when asked if he was ready to see his wife on the screen again. Seriously, I have to say sa bawat uwi ni Haw Haw (Jessy), sobrang siyang happy sa lahat ng ginawa nilang eksena. Kinuwento niya yung mga eksena niya with Gerald (Anderson), or RK (Bagatsing). Excited ako for this series. (Seriously, I have to say that every time Haw Haw (Jessy) comes home, she is so happy with all the scenes they did. She talks about her scenes with Gerald (Anderson), or RK (Bagatsing). I am excited for this series.)
Lucky confirmed his return to the entertainment industry, expressing his enthusiasm about re-entering showbiz after a long break. He shared his excitement about new projects and opportunities that await him in this vibrant field.
Naka-tatlong araw na ako ng taping. May endorsement na ako at may mga paparating pa na endorsement. So tuloy-tuloy na ito and I'm very thankful sa tiwala sa akin ng ABS-CBN. May mga brands na naantala because of the campaign period now tuloy-tuloy na. (I've been taping for three days now. I already have an endorsement, and another one is forthcoming. It's an ongoing process, and I'm very thankful for ABS-CBN's trust in me. Some brands were delayed because of the campaign period, but now it's ongoing), said the versatile entertainment personality.
On the possibility of being with wife Jessy and daughter Peanut in one project, Lucky said: Pwede naman. Napag usapan na namin yan pero si Peanut hindi ko pa alam kung pwede na siya isama. Pero may napagusapan na kami kanina na isang project involving ako, Jessy at si mommy. May na-pitch na sa amin na apat o limang projects before the campaign. Two years ago na ito. Pero ako I miss doing sitcom. Kung may sitcom man si mommy, ibang Vilma Santos ang makikita natin. Pero kung kasama si Haw Haw may masaya rin. (It's possible. We've already discussed that, but I don't know if Peanut can be included yet. But we already discussed a project involving me, Jessy, and mommy. We were pitched four or five projects before the campaign. That was two years ago. But I miss doing sitcoms. If mommy has a sitcom, we'll see a different Vilma Santos. But if Haw Haw is with us, there's something fun too.)
Lucky specifically mentioned that he missed doing the sitcom Home Sweetie Home with Toni Gonzaga, Vhong Navarro, and Bayani Agbayani. The undeniable credibility of Lucky as a celebrity endorser is one reason why advertisers and consumers continue to trust him.
In addition to his three new endorsements, he will also be back on television every Saturday and Sunday starting June 29 and June 30, 2025, as his popular game show, Rainbow Rumble, returns to the Kapamilya Channel.

Not only is Rainbow Rumble Lucky's upcoming game show, but the return of his two other programs, Deal or No Deal and Minute To Win It, on television is also certain.
Aside from Lucky's high credibility as a product endorser, his excellence in hosting is recognized, proven by the awards he has received from various award-giving bodies, including Best Game Show Host, Best Male TV Host, Best Male Showbiz Oriented Talk Show Host, Best Talent Search Program Host, and even Best Supporting Actor for In My Life, the movie from 2009 where he starred alongside his mother, the Star for All Seasons, Vilma Santos, and John Lloyd Cruz.
Despite the numerous awards bestowed upon Lucky, his loving and responsible nature as a husband to Jessy and as a father to their daughter Isabella Rose is one of the traits the public praises him for.
For now, Lucky said he allowed his daughter to have an endorsement with his wife. Abangan ninyo ang endorsement na ito. Napakaganda.
If Peanut ever pursued showbiz in the future, Lucky said he wanted her to finish school first.
Katulad ng ginawa sa akin ng family ko, studies first. Ayoko naman na lumaki siya na may question siya na 'Ano kaya ang feeling ng isang artista? Basta kaya niyang sabihin na hindi niya pababayaan ang pag-aaral. And then for example nasabi naman niya na hindi ko gustong mag-artista, at least sinubukan niya. (Like my family did for me, studies first. I don't want her to grow up wondering 'What does it feel like to be an artist?' As long as she can say that she won't neglect her studies. And then for example, she said that she didn't want to be an artist, at least she tried), he said.
Lucky said he noticed that his two-year-old daughter enjoys singing these days.
Hindi ko alam kung namana niya ang boses ko basta tuloy-tuloy siyang kumanta. Kung ano yung napapanood niya ginagaya niya at ginagamit niyang microphone yung makeup brush ni Haw Haw. (I don't know if he inherited my voice as long as he keeps singing. Whatever he watches, he imitates it and uses Haw Haw's makeup brush as a microphone), he said.
