History

RPN (1979–1989)

Production Specialists, Inc., a company owned by Romeo Jalosjos Sr., came up with an idea of creating a noontime show for Radio Philippines Network.[7] Antonio Tuviera pitched that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, collectively known as TVJ, would be the "perfect" hosts for the show.[8] At a meeting at the InterContinental Manila, Tuviera made an offer to them which was accepted.[8] [9] De Leon coined the term "Eat Bulaga" as the title of the show and owns its copyright.[9] [10]

Eat Bulaga! premiered on July 30, 1979, with its pilot episode filmed at the RPN Live Studio 1 in Broadcast City, Quezon City.[11] [12] Chiqui Hollmann[8] and Richie D'Horsie also served as the original hosts.[11] The theme song was composed by Vic Sotto with Vincent Dy Buncio and Pancho Oppus and musically arranged by Homer Flores.[13] During the show's first few months, it was in the brink of cancellation due to stiff competition and lack of advertisers, despite having their advertising rates reduced to [8] and the hosts' lack of salary for over a year.

De Leon said that he and the Sotto brothers did not 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 two years, the trio decided to stay with the show.[14] [15] The show gained top-rating status in 1980 with the segment "Mr. Macho".[8] [12] Production Specialists Inc. went bankrupt and dissolved sometime in July 1980 and the production of the show were handed over to Television and Production Exponents (TAPE), Inc. on July 7, 1981.[16] In 1982, Coney Reyes joined the show as the newest host.[17]

In the immediate aftermath of the People Power Revolution, the show went off the air from February 27 to March 1, 1986, due to the transmitter of RPN being disabled by reformist soldiers. In 1987, Aiza Seguerra joined the show after Little Miss Philippines.[8] [18] Eat Bulaga! left the Broadcast City complex on December 2, 1987, and transferred to Celebrity Sports Plaza in Quezon City the next day owing to RPN being beset by periodical change of management. The compounded situation led to Tony Tuviera's decision to start negotiations with then-fledgling ABS-CBN to eventually transfer the show.

ABS-CBN (1989–1995)

Eat... Bulaga! moved to ABS-CBN[17] under a co-production agreement due to problems brought about by the sequestration of RPN.[11] On February 18, 1989, the show premiered on its new home with a TV special titled Eat... Bulaga!: Moving On, staged at the Araneta Coliseum.[19] Upon its transfer to ABS-CBN, the show utilized Studio 1 at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center as its main venue while Studio 2 served as an additional facility during special occasions.

The show's tenth anniversary was held on September 23, 1989, at the Araneta Coliseum.[20] In 1991, Ruby Rodriguez and Rio Diaz became regular co-hosts replaced Reyes.

In 1994, ABS-CBN attempted to purchase the broadcast rights to the show from TAPE Inc., but Antonio Tuviera and Malou Choa-Fagar rejected the offer, leading the network to give Eat... Bulaga! an ultimatum to leave by January 1995.[21] ABS-CBN retook the timeslot with their own program 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila on February 4, 1995.

GMA Network (1995–2024)

Eat Bulaga! began its transition from ABS-CBN Studio 1 to the Celebrity Sports Plaza on October 1, 1994, as part of its preparation for the switch to a new network. The official move was finalized on January 19, 1995, during a contract signing between TAPE Inc. and GMA Network executives at the Makati Shangri-La, Manila.

Sakmo! segment. Jose Manalo became a regular co-host on October 19, 2003, after serving as a production assistant in 1994 and as a floor director in 1999.

In this role, Mendoza portrayed a comedic character interacting with the show's hosts and participants, which included solving fictional problems or misunderstandings in a humorous way. Her character quickly gained popularity due to her engaging Dubsmash videos and natural comedic timing.

The AlDub love team officially began on July 16, 2015, during a split-screen interaction in the Juan for All, All for Juan segment, which led to the creation of the popular Kalyeserye series. This event achieved 41 million tweets, becoming the most used hashtag within 24 hours on Twitter.[38] [39] The show's ratings surged, reaching a peak of 39.1% in Mega Manila and 33.6% nationwide from August to September 2015.

Following this transition, Soraya Jalosjos was appointed Vice President of Administration, and Bullet Jalosjos became the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO).[55] [56] Under Jalosjos' leadership, the company sought to rebrand Eat Bulaga!, resulting in the replacement of longtime mainstay hosts and top-rated segments, and salary reduction of the entire production team.[57] [58]

TAPE Inc. suspended production of Eat Bulaga! from May 31 to June 3, 2023, following the announcement of original hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon that they were severing ties with the company under Jalosjos.[59] [60] Fellow hosts of the show—Paolo Ballesteros, Carren Eistrup, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo and Allan K.—and production members also filed their resignation in the days after their announcement.[61] [62]

The Jalosjos management of TAPE Inc. continued to use Eat Bulaga! as the title of their noontime show on GMA Network from June 5, 2023, to January 5, 2024 with new hosts and segments, pending the decision of the IPOPHL regarding the petition from the Sotto brothers, and De Leon to cancel TAPE's "Eat Bulaga" trademark. During this period, 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 the Music Hero Band and the BPop Idols.[63]

Eat Bulaga! trademark battle: TVJ emerges victorious

The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) had cancelled TAPE Inc.'s registration of the “Eat Bulaga” and “EB” trademarks No. 4-2011-005951 and No. 4-2011-005950, respectively. IPOPHL confirms that the petitions for cancellation were granted on December 4, 2023, and credited TVJ as the rightful owner of Eat Bulaga!. Meanwhile, the decisions were received by the parties on December 5, 2023.[73] [74]

On January 5, 2024, the Marikina Regional Trial Court found Television and Production Exponents, (TAPE) Inc. liable for unfair competition and copyright infringement and issued an order “permanently enjoining” it and GMA Network from using the trademarks “Eat Bulaga” and “EB” as well as its logos and jingle, in their shows. The court also barred them from airing any recorded “Eat Bulaga” show prior to May 31, 2023, and directed the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines to cancel TAPE's registration of “Eat Bulaga”, “EB”, and their logos. Moreover, it ordered TAPE to pay hosts TVJ and their co-defendant Jeny Ferre in temperate damages, as well as in exemplary damages and in attorney's fees.[75] [76] [77]

Following the court's decision, TAPE Inc. immediately halted the production of Eat Bulaga!, and relaunched it as Tahanang Pinakamasaya on January 6, 2024.[78] Due to poor viewership and increasing debt, Tahanang Pinakamasaya was cancelled on March 2, 2024, ending TAPE's 29-year run of noontime programs on GMA Network.[79] [80]

TV5 and RPTV (since 2024)

Concurrently, E.A.T. was rebranded as Eat Bulaga![81] and began to simulcast its Saturday episodes on CNN Philippines as part of an agreement with Nine Media Corporation, marking a partial return of the program to its original home, RPN.[82] Following the shutdown of CNN Philippines on January 31, 2024,[83] the broadcast of the show was carried over to the replacement channel RPTV and was extended to weekdays starting on February 1, 2024.[84]
