The Eat Bulaga Timeline

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.

    2. Then replace.

    3. Pwede 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.

    4. Corny 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

    5. EB 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

      Delete
    6. Corny 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

    8. Looks 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.

    9. You 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!

    4. Huh 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.

    5. Sa 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

    6. whatever, EB is still EB. non comparable snd no one can surplus. kahit snong ipalabas nila either corny or what still mardmi vlang napapasaya
      Proven by many advertisers until now which shows that EB is love by many viewers.

  10. Aww 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.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Only 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.

  12. EB 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

  15. Tandang-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!

    1. Yung 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.

  17. If 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!

  19. I 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.

  22. Matagal 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.

  43. They 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.

  50. Sa 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

  51. Pinapasukan 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?
