Boy & Kris was a Philippine morning talk and lifestyle show of ABS-CBN. The show is hosted by Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino aired on weekday mornings. It was the defunct and replaced by Ruffa & Ai. Topics on the show ranges from personal concerns like relationships, finance and health concerns as well and other related matters. "Boy is the information source and the objective in your face analyst who will approach any topic or issue squarely, whereas Kris is the opinionated other who will give an emotional tug to any issue or concern. Together, they are the yin and yang of morning talk to serve as the devil's advocate to one another and to provide a healthy balance of discussion items," said ABS-CBN Business Unit Head Louie Andrada. Early January, there are rumors that ABS-CBN will move the talk show to a night timeslot. The hosts confirmed this news, as their talk show will be replaced by Ruffa & Ai to be hosted by Ruffa Gutierrez and Ai-ai Delas Alas. Meanwhile, Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino will be moving to Primetime Bida before Bandila for their new entertainment show titled Showbiz News Ngayon, starting this February 16, 2009.
