Jayson Camangyan Gainza (born April 27, 1980) is a Filipino actor, comedian, impersonator, host, entrepreneur[1] and vlogger. He was the first runner-up (Second Big Placer) in Pinoy Big Brother, as he garnered 312,258 votes, equal to 27.5% of the total votes.[2]

Gainza is best known for his impersonation of talk show host Boy Abunda[3] as "Tito Bhoy Aboonduh", in the Banana Split segment NNNN: Ntertainment News Na Naman and Banana Nite segment Ihaw Na! (respective parodies of former television show SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon and former Bandila talk segment Ikaw Na!).

Following the conclusion of gag show Banana Sundae, he became the lead cast member of its considered successor Sunday 'Kada[4] until it went on hiatus in 2021. Gainza is later reunited with Home Sweetie Home co-stars John Lloyd Cruz and Miles Ocampo in a GMA Network sitcom Happy ToGetHer.[5][6] He continued appearing in more of GMA's programs and eventually signed a contract with its talent management arm Sparkle on November 22, 2022.[7]

Gainza is currently serving as a host of noontime variety show TiktoClock, which he previously guested.[8]
