History

Radio Philippines Network (1979–89)

The show's original hosts.

Production Specialists, Inc., a company owned by Romy Jalosjos, came up with an idea of creating a noontime show for Radio Philippines Network.[10] Antonio Tuviera pitched that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, collectively known as TVJ, would be the "perfect" hosts for the show.[11] At a meeting at the InterContinental Manila, Tuviera made an offer to them which was accepted.[11][12] De Leon coined the term "Eat Bulaga" as the title of the show and owns its copyright.[12][13]

Eat Bulaga! premiered on July 30, 1979, with its pilot episode filmed in RPN Live Studio 1 in Broadcast City, Quezon City.[14][15] Chiqui Hollman[11] and Richie D'Horsie also served as the original hosts.[14] The theme song was written by Vincent Dy Buncio and Pancho Oppus, while melody was composed by Vic Sotto and musically arranged by Homer Flores.[16] During the show's first few months, it was in the brink of cancellation due to competition and lacked of advertisers, despite having their advertising rates reduced to 750[11] and the hosts' lack of salary for over a year.[17]

De Leon said that he, Tito Sotto and Vic Sotto didn't sign a contract with the show, when they were offered to become hosts. Vic Sotto said that he accepted the offer and would stop, once he had money to buy a personal vehicle. De Leon also said that the show was supposed to be a short-term employment. After 2 years, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and de Leon decided to stay with the show.[18][19] The show gained top-rating status in 1980 with the segment "Mr. Macho".[11][15] Production Specialists went bankrupt and was dissolved sometime in July 1980, the production of the show later handed over to TAPE, Inc. on July 7, 1981.[17] In 1982, Coney Reyes joined the show as the newest host.[20]

During the People Power Revolution, the show went off the air from February 27, 1986, to March 1, 1986, as the transmitter of RPN had been shut down. In 1987, Aiza Seguerra joined the show after Little Miss Philippines.[11][21] The show left Broadcast City on December 2, 1987, and transferred to Celebrity Sports Plaza on December 3, 1987. The network was also beset by periodical change of management, leading to Tony Tuviera's decision to conduct negotiations with then-fledgling network ABS-CBN to eventually transfer the show.

ABS-CBN (1989–95)

In 1989, Eat... Bulaga! moved to ABS-CBN[20] under a co-production agreement due to problems brought about by the sequestration of RPN.[14] On February 18, 1989, the show premiered on ABS-CBN and was staged at Araneta Coliseum, with a TV special titled Eat... Bulaga!: Moving On.[22] After its transfer to ABS-CBN, the show started airing from ABS-CBN Studio 1 at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center. During the show's special occasions, they were allowed usage of the network's Studio 2 as a venue. The show's tenth anniversary was held on September 23, 1989, at Araneta Coliseum.[23] In 1991, Ruby Rodriguez and Rio Diaz became regular co-hosts. In 1994, ABS-CBN attempted to buy the airing rights of the show from TAPE Inc. Antonio Tuviera and Malou Choa-Fagar rejected the offer, leading to the network giving an ultimatum to the show to leave the network in January 1995.

GMA Network (1995–2024)

In 1994, the show moved out of ABS-CBN Studio 1 and relocated to Celebrity Sports Plaza in preparation for its transfer to GMA Network. A contract signing between TAPE, Inc., and GMA officials was held at the Makati Shangri-La, Manila on January 19, 1995.[14] The show premiered on GMA Network on January 28, 1995, with a TV special titled Eat... Bulaga!: The Moving!.[22][14][24]

Toni Rose Gayda, Allan K., Samantha Lopez, and Francis Magalona became hosts in 1995, and Anjo Yllana in 1998. In 2000, Eat Bulaga! became the first noontime variety program to award millions of prizes through its Laban o Bawi segment, gaining instant popularity among viewers. Wally Bayola joined the show but was initially cast as an off-screen jester host who entertained the studio audience during commercial breaks and announced introductions for the show's segments. [25] In May 2001, Magalona was removed from the show following his arrest for drug possession, and Janno Gibbs served as his replacement while Paolo Ballesteros joined the show as co-host for the U-Bet segment, a university student pageant hosted in remote locations with Derek Ramsay and Phoemela Baranda visiting campuses nationwide. In 2002, Magalona returned to the show after acquittal and rehabilitation, and ratings increased due to the popularity of the SexBomb Dancers and Sige!!! Ano...Kaya Mo?!? Sakmo! segment. In 2003, Jose Manalo became a regular co-host on the show after serving as production assistant and floor director in 1994 and 1999, respectively. The 25th year celebration of the show was aired on November 19, 2004, from Expo Pilipino.[26] It won the Best Entertainment (One-Off/Annual) Special at the Asian Television Award in Singapore on December 1, 2005.[27][28] The presentation, titled Eat Bulaga! Silver Special, was broadcast on November 27 and 29, 2004.[26]

In 2006, the SexBomb Girls left the show due to a dispute with the show's producers and they were replaced by the EB Babes.[29] In March 2007, the SexBomb Girls returned to the show but left for good in 2011, while the EB Babes remained regular performers on the show until 2019.[30][31][32] In September 2007, de Leon started an on-screen feud with Willie Revillame, which led to the Hello Pappy scandal.[33][34]

On March 6, 2009, Vic Sotto announced the death of Francis Magalona, who succumbed to leukemia, during the program. A tribute episode for Magalona was held the following day.[35] Ryan Agoncillo joined the show later in 2009 and the show's 30th anniversary special Tatlong Dekads ng Dabarkads aired.[36][37] In 2014, Lenten drama specials returned[38] and an annual awards ceremony, the Dabarkads Awards, was first held.

In July 2015, the love team AlDub, consisting of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, started along with the segment Kalyeserye. The show tripled its Mega Manila and nationwide television ratings and became a daily trending topic on the social media network Twitter worldwide.[39][40] The show held 10 out of 10 highest-rated episodes in 2015.[41] The show held a benefit concert at the Philippine Arena on October 24, 2015. Dubbed as Tamang Panahon, its hashtag #ALDubEBTamangPanahon reached 41 million tweets,[42] becoming the most used hashtag within 24 hours on Twitter.[43] The segment Kalyeserye concluded on December 17, 2016, with a total of 400 episodes.

On December 8, 2018, the show moved its live studio location to APT Studios in Cainta, Rizal.[44][45] In March 2020, the admission of a live audience in the studio and production were suspended due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[46][47] The show resumed its programming on June 8, 2020.[48] In August 2020, Anjo Yllana was permanently laid off from the show, followed by Ruby Rodriguez in May 2021.[49][50] On October 2, 2021, Maja Salvador joined the show to host the new segment "DC 2021", followed by Miles Ocampo, who was introduced as the newest cast member on March 30, 2022.[51][52] On February 21, 2023, Carren Eistrup joined the show after winning the reality competition segment Bida Next.[53]

Conflict between TVJ and Jalosjos-led TAPE Inc.

The new management of TAPE Inc. has decided to suspend its production on May 31 until June 3, 2023, after the original hosts—Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon—announced that they would part ways with them.[54][55] Fellow hosts of the show — Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo and Allan K. — and production members filed their resignation on the same day.[56] Host Carren Eistrup, also confirmed her resignation on June 8.[57] On June 7, 2023, TVJ announced their partnership with TV5 for a new noontime program, which would premiere on July 1, 2023 as E.A.T.[4][58][59]

The conflict coincided over a number of matters, including the forced retirement of Tony Tuviera as top executive of TAPE, the planned rebranding of Eat Bulaga!, the replacement of longtime mainstay hosts and top-rated segments, and the salary reduction of the entire production team.[60][61] Romeo "Jon-jon" Jalosjos Jr., former representative of the 1st district of Zamboanga del Norte, took over as TAPE's CEO and President following the retirement of Tuviera alongside his sister Soraya Jalosjos, who serves as the Vice President of Administration, while the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is their half-brother, Seth Frederick "Bullet" Jalosjos, who is the current mayor of Dapitan City.[62][63]

From June 5, 2023, to January 5, 2024, TAPE Inc. and GMA Network continued to use Eat Bulaga! as the title of their noontime show alongside new hosts and segments, pending the decision of the IPOPHL regarding a petition from Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon to cancel TAPE Inc.'s Eat Bulaga trademark. Temporarily, the show was hosted by Alexa Miro, Arra San Agustin, Betong Sumaya, Buboy Villar, Cassy Legaspi, Chariz Solomon, Dasuri Choi, Glaiza de Castro, Isko Moreno, Kimpoy Feliciano, Kokoy de Santos, Mavy Legaspi, Michael Sager, Paolo Contis, Winwyn Marquez, and Yasser Marta, with the participation of Music Hero Band and BPop Idols.[64]

In a decision dated December 22, 2023, announced on January 5, 2024, the Marikina City Regional Trial Court Branch 273 ordered both TAPE Inc. and GMA Network to immediately cease the usage of the trademarks such as "EB", "Eat Bulaga," and the Eat Bulaga! theme song, for its current programming, as the petition of De Leon, Tito Sotto, and Vic Sotto regarding its copyright case for the trademark "Eat Bulaga" was granted.[65][66][67]

TV5 (since 2024)

On January 6, 2024, the show returned with its original hosts, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon, this time under TVJ Productions, Inc. and TV5.[68] It succeeded E.A.T. on the same network,[4] with the rest of its final hosts also becoming part of the show, including Atasha Muhlach, who joined in September 2023.[69]

On the same day, it began its Saturday broadcast on CNN Philippines, marking its return to its original network formerly known as Radio Philippines Network.[70]
