The Penthouse Live! is a Philippine television variety show broadcast by GMA Network. It premiered on August 29, 1982 replacing Penthouse Seven. The show concluded on February 15, 1987. It was replaced by Shades in its timeslot.

Overview

The show initially was deemed by critics as too upper-class for its target audience but later on it was embraced by the masses who followed the on-camera, off-camera love affair of its main hosts Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez. When the show included the comic skit segment Donya Buding, a social commentator portrayed by Nanette Inventor, the show became a phenomenon in itself.
