Michael Jericho Sager[3] (born February 5, 2003) is a Filipino-Canadian actor, model, dancer, singer and host. He is currently serving as one of the co-hosts in variety shows All-Out Sundays[4] and Tahanang Pinakamasaya.[5]

Life and career

Sager was born in Gasan, Marinduque.[6] He migrated in Canada with his family,[7] where he studied, first worked as an ice cream scooper and sales associate in a store.[8]

His first television appearance was in a Disney Channel movie Descendants, as one of the backup dancers.[9]

As he returned back to the Philippines in 2022, Sager became part of Sparkle GMA Artist Center's youth-oriented group Sparkada, and was introduced in musical-comedy variety show All-Out Sundays.[10] He portrayed the role of Sean in the television series Luv Is: Caught In His Arms.[11]

Sager is paired along with fellow All-Out Sundays mainstay Zephanie, and later became a loveteam.[12] Their first series together is #Frenemies, the first installment of youth-oriented anthology Sparkle U.[13] They later reprised their respective roles in its third installment, #SoundTrip.

Months after the controversial departure of original hosts due to a dispute, Sager joined the TAPE Inc. iteration of Eat Bulaga! as one of the co-hosts in July 2023.[5] The show is later rebranded as Tahanang Pinakamasaya, after TVJ wins copyright infringement case.[14]

He marked his movie debut via Alden Richards and Julia Montes-led Five Breakups and a Romance, as part of the supporting cast.[15]

In 2024, Sager is set to portray a role in Shining Inheritance, the Philippine adaptation of Korean drama Brilliant Legacy.
