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. On February 13, 2009, it aired its final episode and it was 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.

After both separated in their shows temporarily when Aquino chose to quit The Buzz, a new show came to begin when Abunda find another opportunity to have Aquino again in morning shows. Also, Abunda wanted to save their friendship with Aquino after her leaving the said show. Meanwhile, ABS-CBN wanted to boost its Big Time Trio with the introduction of the new show.

The concept emerged when a year before the actual premier of the show. Abunda and Aquino both wanted to have a show like this. "We told ourselves, we should be doing a Mel and Jay-type show. It had always been in our minds [since then]." Abunda concluded his show Homeboy which aired for two-and-a-half years to accommodate the new one.

The new show is not quite different with their last show The Buzz where the two were together. While it is their comeback tandem, however, they are not more focused on intrigues and gossips like the latter, instead, laugh and talk providing viewers with substantial and meaningful information so that they will be empowered.
