In 1985, it was rumored that RPN, then owned by President Ferdinand Marcos' crony Roberto Benedicto, had cancelled the show. Allegedly, some of the show's gags did not sit well with the administration.

Champoy initially appealed to educated Filipinos and later gained popularity with the broader audience. Herrero and Trinidad were often compared to Laurel and Hardy in the Philippines due to their performances on the show.
