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.[4] Antonio Tuviera pitched that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon would be the "perfect" hosts for the show.[5] At a meeting at the InterContinental Manila, Tuviera made an offer to them which was accepted.[5][6] De Leon then conceived the title of the show.[6][7]

Eat Bulaga! premiered on July 30, 1979, with its pilot episode filmed in RPN Live Studio 1 in Broadcast City.[8][9] Chiqui Hollman[5] and Richie D'Horsie also served as the original hosts.[8] 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.[10] 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[5] and the hosts' lack of salary for over a year.[11]

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.[12][13] The show gained top-rating status in 1980 with the segment "Mr. Macho".[5][9] 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.[11] In 1982, Coney Reyes joined the show as the newest host.[14]

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.[5][15] 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[14] under a co-production agreement due to problems brought about by the sequestration of RPN.[8] 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.[16] 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.[17] 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 (since 1995)

In 1994, the show moved out from ABS-CBN Studio 1, and returned to Celebrity Sports Plaza, as preparation for the show's 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.[8] The show premiered on GMA Network on January 28, 1995, with a TV special titled Eat... Bulaga!: The Moving!.[16][8][18]

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 to give away millions on Philippine television. The show introduced "Laban o Bawi" to its audience and it became an instant hit.[19] In May 2001, Magalona was removed from the show following his arrest due to drug possession. Janno Gibbs served as his replacement. After his acquittal from the drug charges and subsequent rehabilitation, Magalona returned in 2002. In April 2002, the ratings of Eat Bulaga! surged following the popularity of the SexBomb Dancers and the segment Sige, Ano Kaya Mo? Sakmo!. The 25th year celebration of the show was aired on November 19, 2004, from Expo Pilipino.[20] It won the Best Entertainment (One-Off/Annual) Special at the Asian Television Award in Singapore on December 1, 2005.[21][22] The presentation, titled Eat Bulaga! Silver Special, was broadcast on November 27 and 29, 2004.[20]

In 2006, the SexBomb Girls left the show due to a dispute with the show's producers.[23] They were replaced by EB Babes in August.[23] In March 2007, the SexBomb Girls returned to the show and would later leave in 2011.[24][25][26] In September 2007, de Leon started an on-screen feud with Willie Revillame, which led to the Hello Pappy scandal.[27][28]

On March 6, 2009, Francis Magalona died due to leukemia, and a tribute episode was held the following day.[29] Ryan Agoncillo joined the show later in 2009 and the show's 30th anniversary special Tatlong Dekads ng Dabarkads aired.[30][31]

In 2014, Lenten drama specials returned[32] 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 social media network, Twitter worldwide.[33][34] The show held 10 out of 10 highest-rated episodes in 2015.[35] 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,[36] becoming the most used hashtag within 24 hours on Twitter.[37] 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.[38][39] 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.[40][41] The show resumed its programming on June 8, 2020.[42] In 2020, Anjo Yllana and Ruby Rodriguez were let go from the show.[43][44] On October 2, 2021, Maja Salvador joined the show to host the new segment DC 2021.[45] In 2023, Carren Eistrup joined the show after winning reality competition segment Bida Next.[46]

From May 31 until June 4, 2023, the show suspended production after its original hosts — Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon — announced that they would part ways with TAPE Inc.[47][48] 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.[49] Host Carren Eistrup, also confirmed her resignation on June 8.[50]

On June 5, the show resumed original programming, with Paolo Contis, Buboy Villar, Betong Sumaya, Cassy Legaspi, Mavy Legaspi and Alexa Miro joining as the new hosts of the show.[51] In the same month, Kimpoy Feliciano, Dasuri Choi and Isko Moreno also joined the show.[52][53]

On July 29, 2023, Eat Bulaga! launched its new theme song during its 44th anniversary.[54]

Controversies

MTRCB set guidelines to protect Ryzza Mae Dizon

On September 5, 2013, the MTRCB called the noontime show's officials for a mandatory conference over alleged insensitive and unfriendly scenes involving hosts Vic Sotto and Ryzza Mae Dizon.[74]

Wally Bayola's scandal

On September 2, 2013, a video of one of the hosts, Wally Bayola, was shared online where he appeared to be having an affair with an EB Babe dancer. The video led to Wally's immediate suspension from the show for five months, returning to the show on February 8, 2014.[75]

MTRCB's warning over victim-shaming remarks

On July 9, 2016, MTRCB summoned Eat Bulaga! officials after Sen. Tito Sotto's remarks during 'Juan for All, All for Juan', where a contestant shared her past sexual abuse, leading to accusations of promoting rape culture and victim shaming.[76]

Joey de Leon's depression issue

On October 2017, De Leon apologized after describing depression as a made-up illness. He said his family explained the seriousness of his statements on the mental illness that has claimed thousands of lives.[77]

TVJ announces departure from TAPE Inc.

On May 31, 2023, original hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon announced their breakup with TAPE Inc. after they were barred from airing live. This was followed by the resignation of other hosts Maine Mendoza, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Ryan Agoncillo and Allan K along with the production staff, sales, writers and cameramen. [78]

"Fake Bulaga" issue

Eat Bulaga! had been largely associated with over four decades to Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, earning the label "Fake Bulaga" after the show underwent a revamp.[79][80] Critics argue that the show lacks originality and that it replicates its old concept, including the recent portrayed skit characters of their new hosts, Buboy Villar and Betong Sumaya, similar to Kalyeserye, and their rebranding of the Pinoy-Henyo segment to Word of the Rings.[81][82]

Eat Bulaga! - TAPE accused of violating live broadcasting rules

TAPE Inc. allegedly committed a violation after they did not allow the former Eat Bulaga! mainstay hosts to go live on air on May 31, 2023. The alleged violation led to an investigation by the MTRCB to ensure compliance on broadcasting regulations.[83][84]

On June 30, 2023, former Eat Bulaga! hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon filed a copyright infringement and unfair competition case against Television and Production Exponents, Inc. and GMA Network, accusing them of unauthorized airing of the show and misuse of the Eat Bulaga! name.[3][85]

Former Eat Bulaga! segment writer and 'BakClash' grand winner, Jericho Sison Calingal claims that the show copied his original concept, resulting in a copyright registration with the Intellectual Property of the Philippines Office. [86]

TVJ vs. TAPE over original 'Eat Bulaga!' YouTube channel

On September 9, 2023, TAPE Inc. re-accessed the inactive "Eat Bulaga!" YouTube channel, while TVJ's camp plans to file legal action against TAPE for forced acquisition of the original channel, which generates cybercrime.[87]

Spin-offs

Internationally, Eat Bulaga! Indonesia premiered on July 16, 2012, and later The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia at ANTV on November 17, 2014.[88][89] In 2019, Eat Bulaga! Myanmar started development.[90]
