The love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza called the “Kalye Serye” on Eat Bulaga, became a blockbuster hit. It was dubbed the “Phenomenal Love Team” because it really resonated with the masses, and people eagerly looked forward to it every noontime.
Eat Bulaga has launched many artists into stardom, especially the trio of Tito, Vic, and Joey. Joey De Leon, in particular, is known for his brilliant ideas and is considered a genius in the entertainment industry. However, a controversy arose when the trio and the legitimate hosts of Eat Bulaga left the show and moved to Channel 5, renaming their show “E.A.T.” The issue stemmed from alleged salary cuts for the crew due to financial difficulties at the management company, Tape Inc., owned by the Jalosjos family, which managed Eat Bulaga. Tito, Vic, and Joey couldn’t agree on the matter, leading to their departure and the creation of a new show, E.A.T. The case is still ongoing, with T.V.J (Tito, Vic, Joey) fighting for the rights to the “Eat Bulaga” name, which is widely associated with Joey De Leon as its originator.
In the ongoing competition among noontime shows, content creation is crucial to attract viewers and advertisers. High ratings can draw in advertisers to promote their products on the show.
Recently, a controversy arose regarding the closeness between Ara San Agustin and Paolo Contis, both hosts of Eat Bulaga. This led to speculation that Eat Bulaga might be planning a new love team reminiscent of ALDUB. Whether this is true or if Paolo Contis indeed has feelings for Ara San Agustin remains to be seen and is something to watch for in the future.
