Shows like eat bulaga!

Eat Bulaga! (transl. Lunchtime Surprise) is a Philippine television variety show broadcast by GMA Network. Produced by TAPE Inc., it is the longest running noontime show in the Philippines. Originally hosted by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon. it premiered on July 30, 1979. The show is also broadcast worldwide through GMA Pinoy TV and streaming online on YouTube.

The success of the show led to Eat Bulaga! Indonesia (later retitled as The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia) and Eat Bulaga! Myanmar.

Production Specialists, Inc., a company owned by Romy Jalosjos, brought the idea of creating a noontime show for Radio Philippines Network (RPN). Antonio Tuviera, who was working for the company, thought that the comic troika of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon — better known as TVJ (who had gained fame through GMA Network's Discorama and as pinch-hitters for Student Canteen, but subsequently left both) — would be the perfect hosts for the new program. At a meeting at the InterContinental Manila parking lot (now closed), Tuviera made the offer to them — and they accepted.
