History

S-Files premiered on June 7, 1998 with Paolo Bediones and Lyn Ching as the hosts. Originally intended as a Saturday afternoon talk show, GMA decided at the last minute to put the show on a Sunday afternoon slot. With Paolo and Lyn's refreshing on-screen chemistry, S-Files managed to hold its own and won the award for Best Talk Show at the 1999 PMPC TV Star Awards.
Drama actress Janice de Belen came on board in 2001 as Paolo's new co-host after Lyn Ching got married and concentrated on her job as a news anchor for GMA News and Public Affairs and as a host of Unang Hirit. Actor and celebrity sportsman Richard Gomez was added to the roster of hosts in 2002 when he transferred networks from ABS-CBN to GMA. Later that same year, Richard's best friend, actor/politician Joey Marquez was included in the S-Files roster of hosts after he successfully pinch-hit for Paolo Bediones when Paolo went to the US to interview some Hollywood celebrities to be featured on the show.
In 2004, de Belen left the show to concentrate on her show, Sis. Pia Guanio replaced de Belen. In 2006, John Lapus joined the show.
The show aired its final episode on April 22, 2007. It was replaced by Showbiz Central.
