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.[citation needed]

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]

2023 "TVJ"-TAPE Inc. dispute

From May 31 until June 4, 2023, the show suspended live production after its original hosts — Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon - announced that it will part ways with TAPE Inc.[47] The announcement stemmed from the ongoing feud between the trio and TAPE, Inc. chairman Romeo Jalosjos regarding the alleged removal of Tony Tuviera from day-to-day operations of Eat Bulaga!, and Jalosjos' plans for the show. The trio's May 31 announcement was only livestreamed via Eat Bulaga's Facebook page and YouTube channel as the new management of TAPE Inc. did not allow the show to go on-air live and a replay episode was broadcast instead on GMA Network.[48] Other hosts of the show – Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo and Allan K., together with other production members (cameramen, writers, sales) also filed their resignation on the same day.[49]

On June 5, the show was reformatted and resumed live programming, with Paolo Contis, Buboy Villar, Betong Sumaya, Cassy Legaspi, Mavy Legaspi and Alexa Miro joining as the new hosts of the show.[50] In the same month, Kimpoy Feliciano, Dasuri Choi and Isko Moreno also joined the show.[51][52]

Former hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon filed an application for the ownership of the trademark "Eat Bulaga!".[53]

Controversies

CHEATING IN "PINOY HENYO:

Did two contestants cheat in "Pinoy Henyo"? Netizens seemed to think so, but the couple involved denied the allegations.

The incident happened during the show’s Valentine’s Day episode this year. The contestants, a young couple, named Ryan Oraño and Lyka Alburo, were seen giving clues by mouthing the answers.

The video clip of this segment immediately went viral, and netizens did not like that the couple won the game and the prize by using a dishonest tactic.

The couple were interviewed in Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, where they denied that the intended to cheat.

Then in a subsequent episode, host Joey de Leon warned against cheaters. “Akalain niyo, itong 'Pinoy Henyo' ay pasukan ng mandaraya rin. Kaya inuulit natin, kahit anong laro pa yan, pag nandaya kayo, wala na yung fun,” he said.

WALLY BAYOLA’S SUSPENSION:

The world of the Dabarkads was rocked in September 2013 when a salacious video of one of the show’s hosts went viral. In the scandalous video, host Wally Bayola was shown having sex with one EB Babe dancer.

Equally scandalous was the fact that Wally was then married with five children, and that there were no clues that he had a relationship with the dancer, before the video came out.

The video led to Wally’s immediate suspension from the show. But it was not a long suspension; he was suspended for five months, and returned on the show in February 2014.

Wally talked about the video scandal on an exclusive interview with PEP.ph. He said he considered taking his own life after the incident, because it affected his family.

He had a child that was undergoing treatment for cancer, and had no way to get the funds needed for the treatment. Thankfully, his family stood by him and he was able to get his act together and return to Eat Bulaga!.

  • PAOLO BALLESTEROS GETS SUSPENDED FOR FACEBOOK POSTS?:

In March 2016, host Paolo Ballesteros suddenly was absent on the show’s episodes.

Rumors alleged that Paolo was suspended because of his posts on Facebook where he publicly rebuked one of the show’s staff.

On March 10, Paolo and other Eat Bulaga! hosts were scheduled to host a big event in Subic. When they arrived at the venue, they did not find a staff to assist them. This irked Paolo, leading him to fight the staff by posting about it on his Facebook page.

One of his posts said, “Akalin mo yon??? Isang oras at kalahati na kame nakahiga sa room namen? Hanggang ngayon wala pa reng nagsasabe samen kung anong oras at anong mga kaganapan??? Nakapagrant nako nyan dito sa fb ha! Waw. Titigas ng mga mukha nyo ha.”

The next day, Paolo did not appear in Eat Bulaga! Was he suspended? TAPE Inc refused to confirm the matter, and only said it is an issue that they wanted to resolve internally.

WAS JOSE MANALO SUSPENDED FROM EAT BULAGA!?:

It was Jose Manalo’s turn in July 2017, when he also suddenly disappeared from the episodes without any explanation.

The rumors alleged that the comedian was given a one-week suspension because he had an altercation where he allegedly punched his co-host Wally.

Other speculations alleged that the suspension was due to Jose’s tardiness.

TAPE Inc., however, denied the rumors, and said Jose was just taking a vacation in the United States.

JOEY DE LEON AND MENTAL HEALTH:

On October 5, 2017, netizens grilled host Joey de Leon for his statement on mental health.

When a contestant on that day’s episode mentioned that her mother was suffering from depression, Joey alleged that the condition was not real.

“Yung depression, gawa-gawa lang ng mga tao iyan. Gawa nila sa sarili nila,” he said.

This led to this reply from Main Mendoza: “Hindi biro yang depression. Hindi siya joke.

"Hindi, kasi maraming nakakaranas ng ganun lalo na sa mga kabataan. Kaya pag may nakakaranas ng ganun, kailangan natin bigyan ng suporta."

Despite this, Joey doubled down on his statement. “Wala nagpapasosyal lang iyan. Pag mayaman, depression. Pag mahirap, wala, wala nang pag-asa.”

Netizens agreed with Maine and praised her for correcting Joey on air. Many also did not like how insensitive Joey’s statement came across, and they demanded for an apology.

The next day, Joey apologized on the show. He said his wife and kids even criticized him.

“Ako’y humihingi ng paumanhin sa mga napaitan sa mga nabanggit ko, at humihingi ng inyong pang-unawa,” he said.

MTRCB WARNING OVER VICTIM-SHAMING REMARKS:

In July 2016, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) summoned Eat Bulaga!’s officials after one of its hosts made a controversial remark on air.

On the July 9 episode, one winner of the show’s "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment narrated a painful experience where she was raped after getting drunk.

In response, host Tito Sotto remarked, “Kababae mong tao, pa-shot shot ka?”

Then Jose added, “Ano ang suot mo? Naka-shorts ka, ‘no?”

Viewers and netizens did not like the hosts’ responses, tagging them as insensitive and examples of victim-blaming.

The MTRCB then summoned the Eat Bulaga! management for a dialogue, because the responses may have been violated gender sensitivity laws.

In the end, the issue was resolved when Tito attended the dialogue with MTRCB.

In a statement, Tito denied that he was victim-blaming.

"She was not a victim. She was a winner. She never said or admitted that she was abused by anyone. It was simple jealousy of the husband because she always does ‘pa-shot shot.’ Her son said so, too," he said.

MTRCB PROTECTS RYZZA MAE DIZON:

The last entry in this list involves Vic Sotto and then child star Ryzza Mae Dizon.

On the July 29, 2013 episode of Eat Bulaga!, a comedy segment with the two hosts ended with a practical joke where the older host spat the juice that he was drinking on the child’s face. Ryzza Mae was only eight years old at the time.

The MTRCB did not like this incident, and summoned the show’s management over it. The government agency alleged that this scene may have violated Ryzza Mae’s dignity as a child.

Later on, Eat Bulaga!’s management admitted lapses, and promised to collaborate with MRCB and GMA-7 to protect the child star from harm.
