Wil Time Bigtime (formerly known as Willing Willie) was a Philippine primetime variety game show broadcast by TV5. The show premiered on October 23, 2010, with its main host Willie Revillame. The show celebrated its first anniversary at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Philippine TV on October 22, 2011.
The show ended its run on January 5, 2013, and a new show, Wowowillie, was launched as its replacement on January 26, 2013.
First broadcast under the name Willing Willie, the show was formed as a result of the cancellation of Wowowee and the transfer of Willie Revillame to TV5. Several personalities from Wowowee appearing on Willing Willie include DJ Coki Meneses (disc jockey), Owen Ercia (floor director), Anna Feliciano (choreographer), April "Congratulations" Gustillo, Lovely Abella and some former ASF dancers who comprise the in-house WW.Girls.
The show premiered on October 23, 2010 with Willie Revillame as host and Mo Twister as co-host. It was earlier reported that Revillame was courting Sandra Seiffert and Venus Raj as co-hosts, but both declined the offer.Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad accepted the job, eventually appearing on the November 8, 2010 episode.
Two WW.Girl members, Aprilyn "Congratulations" Gustillo and Monique "Pak" Natada, were suspended for five days from the show on November 2010 because of a fight over lipstick. On January 12, 2011, the WW.Girls group was given a three-day suspension for fighting over each other in Twitter.
On November 24, 2010, ABS-CBN filed a copyright infringement suit against Willie Revillame, Wil Productions, Inc. and TV5 for allegedly copying Wowowee in Willing Willie. However, hearings on the case, which was filed at the Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 66 under presiding judge Joselito C. Villarosa, was suspended after the Court of Appeals granted the request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) by TV5.
