When the rumors that a well-loved TV show was about to undergo major changes, very few thought ‘Eat Bulaga’ was the subject of such blind items. Afterall, EB has withstood time and is a few years short of celebrating its 50th year. Besides, the camaraderie among the Dabarkads, headed by Tito and Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon (TVJ), was solid.Last week, various social media sites finally revealed that indeed, EB was plagued by rumors of off and on-cam changes.
Cristy Fermin via her YouTube show dated March 2, revealed internal issues in the production, such as a well-loved top executive was about to be removed and the talents were about to face a loyalty challenge.
The following day, March 3, website bilyonaryo.com identified the factions of the said conflict. On one side was Tony Tuviera, and the other side was led by Romeo Jalosjos. Both are the pillars of Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc., which is the production firm of EB. Tuviera was due to retire, while Jalosjos was allegedly behind the upheaval to take control of TAPE.
Hosts Allan K, Wally Bayola, and Jose Manalo were then rumored as the ones being groomed by the Jalosjos camp to take over TVJ. Even Willie Revillame was mentioned by the website as being wooed by the said camp to be part of the supposed new EB. By contrast, TVJ was rumored to go with Tuviera and might launch their own show ‘Dabarkads’ on another channel.
Meanwhile, TAPE Inc. already has a new chairperson, Romeo Jalosjos, Jr. To recall, TAPE signed a three-year contract in 2022 with GMA for the airing of EB.
TVJ, during the March 4 episode, sang the theme song of Eat Bulaga. The hosts then reminded the viewers of who wrote the song and who coined ‘Eat Bulaga,’ who are Vic and Joey, respectively. De Leon further invited the viewers to celebrate their 50th anniversary in six years.
For now, things seem to be quiet as neither camp has issued any formal statement to clear up the splitting rumors.
Note: Fashion PULIS is open to the clarification of the parties concerned.
Stahhhhp. As much as corny na sila what wakes EB, EB is TVJ.
ReplyDeleteTanggalin na lang sa ere ang EB siguro kung gusto nila alisin ang TVJ. Bagong programa na lang. Tapos bagong mga hosts. Wag si Willie. Hindi un bago LOL.
DeleteThen replace.
DeletePwede pa rin naman kasama ang TVJ, but the old format and the other hosts na pabigat at palakpakers lang have to go. That or just retire. It's not like naghihirap sila.
DeleteCorny na sila, they’re comedy is bland and joey is a d_k. Palitan na lang nila mismo yung show, wala na dn naman nanonood
DeleteEB is TVJ & Mr T. Pwede naman ayusin lang like dati. Pag Sat noon palagi may big name na may production number etc. Ang nangyari lang naman kse eh parang wlang challenge na kahit may its showtime pa kaya medyo kulang na sa effort. Gusto ni Jalosjos gumawa na lang sya ng ibang show. Hayaan nya na sa tvj ang eb... kesehodang channel 25 pa yan papanoodin pa din
DeleteCorny at walang nanonood? Kung totoo yan sana iniwanan na sila ng sangkaterbang advertisers at major sponsors nila na sadyang mas marami kumpara sa Showtime mo. Halatang haters kayo ng EB at TVJ #FACTS
Delete10:53 matagal nang wala ang mga palakpakers haha
DeleteLooks like wala naman mababago. Nanjan pa din sila this week, same cast pa din eh. Sa business side ang issue, baka magawan ng paraan. Hehe.
DeleteYou guys don’t know what originality is! They’ve been industry for many many years they discovered a lots of games who are just legit of their own & still entertain people, audiences & viewers! All the games they invented are legit! They’re jokes are simple but there’s a meaning! Doesn’t have to be long sentences! Direct to the point no need facial expressions to show just simple talk & direct! Bawal judgemental is one of a kind everyday different topics you will educate & learn a lessons from their experiences! Again legit! If that’s boring for you guys then there’s something wrong!
DeleteBoring na ng show na to except pinoy henyo. They should try harder.
ReplyDeleteDragging na ang show. Yes! Patok before pero dragging na ngayon.
DeleteNeed lang talaga ng mga bagong ideas. Nagawa naman na kse nila halos ang lahat kaya nga mga ginagawa sa kabila halos kopya lang din sa kanila with a twist.
Deleteoooohhhhhhh wala na siguro silang magagawa
ReplyDeleteBaka may mga debate sa behind the scene
ReplyDeleteboring na talaga. nagpapayaman na lang talaga silang lahat.
ReplyDeleteLahat naman ng tao ay gustong magpayaman. Ikaw ba, ayaw mo?
DeleteTrue. Yung type of jokes ng mga thunders hosts, super waley.
DeleteTapos ang liit pa ng prize ng mga contestants nila compared sa ibang LOL at ST
Delete9:36 Oh?
DeleteHuh 9:36, nakainom ka? Yung mga yun na mismo nagsabi na malaki premyo sa eb which is true. May pasasakyan pa nga. Almost 100k sa juan for all winner halos everyday. Di ka viewer, may maibato lang.
DeleteSa iba na di tumanda sa eb talagang pipintAs pero sa amin na mula 7 yrs old yan na ang tanghalian makita lang namin sila masaya na kami. 43 yrs.. hinde biro para lang sirain ng ganun. Hinde napataob ng mga katapat tapos ang magpapa lubog lang yung isa sa may ari. Walang sense. Sana man lang hinintay na ang 50yrs at tapusin na para makagawa ng ibang show. Para naman graceful exit talaga para sa tagal ng pinaghirapan ng TVJ na nag simula ng libre at walang talent fee sa EB
Deletewhatever, EB is still EB. non comparable snd no one can surplus. kahit snong ipalabas nila either corny or what still mardmi vlang napapasaya
DeleteProven by many advertisers until now which shows that EB is love by many viewers.
Romeo jaloslos' daughter gagawin ding host?? D naman celeb or known host 😆
ReplyDeleteThat is good. Give other people a chance naman.
ReplyDeleteBaka naman nag-iingay lang ang EB? Boring na kasi. Last big hit nila ay Aldub pa.
ReplyDeleteLol yung mga marites dito better stop complaining about the hosts. If people ought to be grateful to their employers then employers shouldn't just dump people because they don't have much pull anymore.
ReplyDeleteAww sad naman, magiging kalaban pa nila jose and wally sina vic and joey. Matuloy kaya? Parang they look up to the latter eh, mga naging senior nila. Parang masisira pa friendship nila ah. Pano kaya yung ibang hosts like ryan, maine, pao? Corny man ang EB, i have fond memories growing up, favorite sila ng lola ko.
ReplyDeleteOnly because they make money, they don’t care anymore of their audience kahit hindi na sila entertaining go parin sila. Literally nakaupo nalang sila kanto levels. Wala ng dapat patunayan ang eb walang makakapantay sa kanilang naabot. Tama ang sinabi ni Tito Sotto no competition means no interest for others to improve, to do better to offer the best. I still believe result to partly ng pagkawala ng abscbn. It made tv viewing boring. Nakakamiss ang salpukan ng dos at sieta yung paandaran nila nakakamiss. Talo ang audience.
ReplyDeleteEB was my comfort zone tv show when I was growing up. Yung pg unuwi kang maaga from school tapos naabutan mo pa EB sa tv , parang at home na at home ka at nakakasaya tlga. Yyn gmadaming segments tpos tuwang tuwa ka sa Bulagaan. Pero ngayon iba na EB. yung bawal judgmental ang tagl tagal na segment , mejo kaumay. Old School EB is the best
ReplyDeleteSimple lang pag boring sa palagay mo huwag ng manood.🙃🙃🙃😉
ReplyDeleteIilan lang kayo nagsasabi na boring. Mga taga kabila na gumagaya sa format ng EB. But still EB ang nagwawagi sa ratings.
ReplyDeleteBakit laging "taga kabila" ang bintang? 😂
DeleteTandang-tanda ko pa noong si Chiqui Hollman ang co-host nilang babae. Then noong umalis siya, si Coney Reyes ang ipinalit at doon sumikat ng husto ang Eat Bulaga. Mas lalo pang sumikat noong idinagdag si Aiza. Natatandaan ko pa rin ang original lyrics ng theme song nila. Ay oo, Tita na ako. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteCmon accept change, bagay sila s net25, EB is no longer TVJ d n kya ng powers 70 plus n sila d n kya magpasaya everyday
ReplyDeleteYung mga nega comment na ganito sure ako may kinalaman na naman sa network. Pwede naman na magdagdag ng mga bagong writers na pwedeng mag contribute for a better show. Kong tumanda ka sa eb hinde mo gugustuhin na sa ganun lang mapunta ang tagal na pinag hirapan ng tvj at mr t. Kong matatapos man hinde sa ganito dapat graceful exit kse hinde naman biro ang pinaghirapan din kaya nagtagal at di napataob. Ganun naman halos lahat may ups and down.
DeleteIf they really love EB, TVJ should give way to new younger talents and also new blood in their management. Kaya nagka ganyan ang EB lahat complacent from Tuviera management, their creative team, the host na parang nasa bahay, if they love the legacy of EB they should be open and support change/s!
ReplyDeleteSo ipapalit yung Jalosjos management? Yan yung convicted na ped**hile diba? O edi tangkilikin niya yan. Yuck!
Delete06:21, true. Enable pa more. More money, more power. Nakalabas na nga kahit reclusion perpetua dapat. Lahat ba ng (child) rapist may ganyang privilege?
DeleteDi na sila dabarkads... mga gurang na ang tatlo kaya dapat... DAMATANDS !!! as in MATANDAS !!!
ReplyDeleteSuch an ageist comment.
Delete7:32 yung punchline mo mas corny pa sa tvj jokes
DeleteI recently watched Ogie's vlog about this. Accdg to some rumors ang gusto talagang tanggalin ni Jalosjos SR ay si Mr T sa TAPE INC at collateral damage lang ang pag-alis ng TVJ dahil of course sasama sila kay Mr T kapag umalis sya. Gusto rin daw nilang (Jolosjos Camp) tanggalin si Maine at ipalit yung daughter ni Romeo na si Soraya. Well EB will not be EB without TVJ.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe the other hosts, aalis din
DeleteGinoogle ko pa sino si Soraya haha, tapos balak nila ipalit kay Maine?
DeleteAko rin ginoogle ko…inaykupo! LOL
DeleteKung ibalik tambalan Alden at Maine lalabas at kikita sila, pero kung hi daw sorry to say waley
ReplyDeleteHa? If we hold on together.
DeletePwede ba, nag-move on na sa mas big time projects si Alden. Big time actresses na ang katapat nya, especially after HLG. Sorry pero major downgrade kung ibabalik ang AlDub.
Deleteok sila noon pero parang awkward na sila panuorin.
DeleteThat's a ridiculous idea. Maine is engaged!
DeleteEdi wag ka manood
Deleteibalik ang super sireyna!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Super Sireyna
DeleteBaka may conflict of interest kasi si Paolo ang host ng Drag Race.
DeleteSana nga. Isa yan sa magandang shows nila. Pati sana ung juan for all, all for juan
Deleteisama mo na ang super kwelang Suffer Sireyna 😂 sobrang nakakatawa!
Deletesuffer sireyna nga mas benta!
DeleteMatagal na silang mayaman dahil sa EB. Nasa retirement stage na yung 3. Kaso biglang dumating ang Aldub kaya ginu-groom sila along with JOWAPAO as future hosts. Kaso naghiwalay, di masyadong nagwork yung isa na lang ang natira - JOWAPAOMENG o JOWAPAODEN kaya napilitan silang maghanap ng kapalit kaya lang medyo late na.
ReplyDeleteDaming new blood. Ibalik nila si Michael V. Keep JoWaPao, kahit pati TVJ. Kuha ng mga bagong heartthrobs like si Pambansang Ginoo.
DeleteEveryone else, take a hike.
Mukhang walang balak isama si paolo sa negotiations. Hindi nababanggit. Wally allan jose ang gsto ng Jalosjos
DeleteYikes not that egoistic and feeling magaling Michael V.
DeleteWillie R should think we'll, it's an institution TVJ and Eat Bulaga... na babangain. I will stick to the original Eat Bulaga.
ReplyDeleteYes to something new!! Change is the only thing consistent Kaya go lang sa bagong show.
ReplyDeleteBata palang Ako eat Bulaga na paano magiging wla na kwenta Ang palabas eh Kaya nga tumagal Yan ksi nga marami cla npapasaya tao at natutulungang tao Kaya wag nmn Sana sbhin na kumot matanda na e wla na kakayahan mag pasaya para skn tvj is tvj wla mkakapantay sknla❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteYou can't change the fact that EB is synonymous with TVJ, might need new segments but overall hosts are still entertaining. TVJ are only there during Sat or special occassions. JOWAPAO carries the show most of the time
ReplyDeleteSi Willie na naman, remember noong last day niya sa wowowin pinapagalitan niya pa staff at dancer niya on air, shookkkt ako sa kanya
ReplyDeleteHindi na bago kay willie yan. Google Willie R, Boombay and Ethel
DeleteTVJ is already an institution as well as Mr T. Kung wala sila, walang EB. LET'S ALLNPRAY FOR THEM PARS MAAYOS ang lahat dapat ayusin, huwag na lang gatungan.
ReplyDeleteBasta ako legit Dabarkads! Kung boring sa iba, saken hindi. Change channel na lang para happy tayong lahat. 😁😁😁
ReplyDeleteCount me in.
DeleteMe too. Pag boring yung segment, browse muna sa ibang channels or socmed at FP muna. Yung bawal judgmental, minsan ok, minsan hindi. Di ko bet yung overly serious topics.
DeleteKung saan ang TVJ doon ako tapos!
ReplyDeleteKaloka ang mga tao dito. The hypocrisy. Bash kayo ng bash when celebs leave their networks kesyo wala daw utang na loob. Meanwhile nananahimik ang EB with the veterans who stayed with the show and dedicated decades of their career tapos tanggalin daw. WTH.
ReplyDeletebakit di ata namemention si paolo ballesteros sa mga article? wally and jose lang sa jowapao
ReplyDeleteI like EB kc may puso talaga ang show. It’s not just a game show, nag iisip sila with purpose to help less fortunate people
ReplyDeleteBalik niyo na lang pera o bayong hahaha.
ReplyDeleteActually matagal na akong di nanonood ng TV pero malungkot isipin kung aalis si TVJ
Wow Bulaga!
ReplyDeleteProduced by new execs of TAPE together with GMA.
Hosted by Willie Revillame.
Co-hosted by comedy bar performers.
Siyempre kasali si Alden as special guest star since loyal yan sa GMA.
Mula moon hanggang ngayon Eat Bulaga!
ReplyDeleteI hope EB remains as it is. Maraming nagcocomment na boring na daw. Pero i would still watch it over other noon time programs. To each his own.
ReplyDeletei comeback ang aldub char
ReplyDeleteIbalik ang She’s Got The Look at Beautiful Girl.
ReplyDeleteAng tanders ko na! Hahaha!
hindi naman ata totoo kasi kung manggaling mismo sa tvj dun ako maniniwala. lam ko lang yung jalosjos na mayari.. San ba galing balita na mawwla na eb parang d naman creedible
ReplyDeleteFeeling ko yung mga gusto ng change dito mga fans nung kalabang show hehe
ReplyDeleteNeed to upgrade the show. Daming hosts. Mostly no contribution. Parang 80’s concept pa din!
ReplyDeleteThey need to trim the fat down. Parang mula 80s, kung sino ang jowa ni bossing from Coney R to Pia G to Poleng, kasama sa lineup ng hosts. Aminin na hindi lahat yan ay magaling mag-host pero di matigbak dahil kay Bossing. Even TVJ are too old -- yung mga patok na segment nila like Juan 4 All, labas ng studio. Yung mga pa-game nila, pumapatok and then habang tumatagal kailangan na umisip ng bagong gimik. Oo, kailangan ng change but they need to rethink if scorched earth ang tamang paraan.
ReplyDeleteNaunang maging host sina Pauleen at Pia bago pa sila naging jowa. Somehow, they earned their rights. Sino naghahandle pag international ang guests? Sina Pia at Pauleen ang magaling dun
DeleteNakalimutan mo si Chiqui Hollman na nauna kay Coney Reyes.
DeletePaanong rebranding eh nakasanayan na yan ng familiang Pilipino. Bakit ibibida ang nga gen z sa familia anjan din mga seniors, mga lolo at lola.. hindi ko gets ah. Nakakatawa parin naman sina Jose mag joke at samahan ng TVJ. Dpat panatalihin pa din yung mga pacontest nila at paprimyo kasi pangmasa din sila.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Ang market ng free tv ay yung mga may edad.
DeleteTumpak! Inantagonize lang nila yung solid fans nila (like my lolas and titas na religiously nanonood). Takam na takam sa younger market/gen z/millenials, eh mga working karamihan, di naman makahawak ng remote sa tanghali. Haynako naguluhan na sila sa market nila.
DeleteAt the end of the day , they have to innovate to make it better and to upkeep with the changing times.
DeleteBoring for the millennials maybe, or Gen Z. Pero mga mama at papa nyo ano ba pinapanood sa tanghali and makes them happy. Duhhh
ReplyDeletedi ko gets ung Bida Next ang dami dami nang hosts nag dagdag pa talaga tapos may Ruru na may Bianca pa package deal? ok na sana ung Miles and Maja para di puro tanders kasama ni Maine at Ryzza
ReplyDeleteNoontime TV will never be the same without EB, entertaing new segments lang naman kailangan but retain the hosts. Tvj is the heart of EB.
ReplyDeleteI watched tiktok clips of tito sotto’s show sa net25 interviewing vic and joey, mukhang lilipat na nga.
ReplyDeleteMaglgay kayo ng new shows pero no rebrand needed. Tvj is EB. And besides magalalagay kayong freshies di niyo iniisip sino market ng EB? Di naman mga millenials at gen z market nyan kasi wala naman yan sa tanghali. Mga mommies, seniors and tambayers market niyan. Super masa! Saka leading pdin naman sa ratings!
ReplyDeleteSa tingin ko maganda na yung setup na showtime appeals to the younger demographic na nagpapatronize ng online streaming, while eatbulaga caters to the older demograph na mas malakas sa freetv. No need to make eatbulaga appeal to younger audiences. Bigyan din ng options ang viewers sana
ReplyDeletePinapasukan kasi ng mga politiko entertainment hindi naman nila forte yan. Aabot ba ng 43 years ang EB kung hindi minahal ng masa? Balibaliktarin mo man ang mundo EB is TVJ! Hindi lang naman yan noontime show, may charity work rin sila. Why change that?
ReplyDeleteeat bulaga will always be synonymous to TVJ. kahit gumawa pa ng new trio, you can never pass them off as the next TVJ. for sure flop lang yan
ReplyDeleteGrabe cmula Ng mag show Ang eat Bulaga Bata pa ako ngayon senior n ako EB pa Rin pinapanood ko KC gusto ko lagi pinapanood Ang TVJ dahil cla lang nkaka Pag pasaya sa sa pang tang haliang show kung lilipat cla Ng chanel ako din lilipat sa chanel nila KC cla Ang gusto ko panoorin at Hindi ako mag sasawang bitiwan Ang EB dhil Jan n ako tumanda.god bless u🙏🙏🙏
