Michael Jericho Sager[1] (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 show All-Out Sundays.[2]
Sager was born in Gasan, Marinduque.[3] He migrated in Canada with his family,[4] where he studied, first worked as an ice cream scooper and sales associate in a store.[5]
His first television appearance was in a Disney Channel movie Descendants, as one of the backup dancers.[6] Other than Disney, he was also an extra in films produced by Netflix and Nickelodeon.[7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sager attempted to audition for Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity. As he flew back to the Philippines in 2022, he was supposed to audition for its teens edition, but at the same time, Sparkle GMA Artist Center formed a youth-oriented group of newest artists titled "Sparkada", eventually becoming one of the 17 members handpicked and discovered by star builder Johnny Manahan.[8] Sager is introduced in the musical-comedy variety show All-Out Sundays.
He portrayed the role of Sean in the television series Luv Is: Caught In His Arms.[9]
Sager is paired along with his fellow All-Out Sundays mainstay Zephanie, and later became a loveteam.[10] Their first series together is #Frenemies, the first installment of youth-oriented anthology Sparkle U.[11] 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 longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga! as one of the co-hosts in July 2023. He became part of an all-male group "Chaleco Boys", along with his fellow co-hosts Yasser Marta, Kokoy de Santos and Kimpoy Feliciano.[12] The show was later renamed as Tahanang Pinakamasaya!, after TVJ won the copyright infringement case.[13]
He marked his movie debut via Alden Richards and Julia Montes-led Five Breakups and a Romance, as part of the supporting cast.[14]
In 2024, Sager is set to portray a role in Shining Inheritance, the Philippine adaptation of Korean drama Brilliant Legacy.
