E.A.T.note The show's name is currently a placeholder; the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines did decide in favour of TVJ over the Eat Bulaga! brand, but they won't be able to use it until January at least. is a Filipino variety show produced by TVJ Productions and broadcast by TV5. It first aired on July 1, 2023, following a highly-publicised feud between the comic trio Tito, Vic and Joey (and their roster of co-hosts) and their erstwhile employers TAPE, Inc., where TVJ and the "Legit Dabarkads" resigned en masse from Eat Bulaga! and started their own show on TV5, taking the time slot previously occupied by rival noontime show It's Showtime (who would then move to GMA Network-owned GTV).As with TVJ's previous show, E.A.T. is hosted by mainstays referred to as the "Legit Dabarkads"note A corruption of the Tagalog term "barkada", meaning a band of friends. and consists of various game and talent show segments along with live performances from the hosts and/or guest acts, most of them being slightly altered variations of previous Bulaga segments.On December 6, 2023, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHIL) ruled in favor of TVJ's camp over the ownership of the Eat Bulaga! brand, effectively legitimizing TVJ's claim over the Bulaga trademarks. Needless to say, there was much rejoicing from loyal fans of the show, with the Legit Dabarkads singing the original lyrics to the Eat Bulaga! theme song in celebration.

Wrong-Name Outburst: The Legit Dabarkads, particularly TVJ, have been so iconic as the original cast of Bulaga that a number of contestants on the *other* Bulaga would mistakenly thank "Tito, Vic and Joey" for their prize despite the original trio being no longer part of the cast.

Suicide as Comedy
 E.A.T. / int_3104d34
comment
Suicide as Comedy: Particularly that controversial joke Joey de Leon made about the things commonly worn around the neck, which was construed by many as alluding to suicide by hanging. While fans of the show insist it was taken way out of context, de Leon's history of cracking edgy, controversial jokes makes this excuse moot point.

Artificial Intelligence: In line with the AI boom of the 2020s, E.A.T. introduces artificial intelligence-based co-hosts as part of the cast, whose appearances were humorously deepfaked from some of the hosts.

comment
Fun with Acronyms: "E.A.T." apparently stands for several meanings, including "Eto Ang Tunay," "Eto Ang True," "Eto Ang Title" and "Everyday, Always Together!" as Tito Vic and Joey continued with their legal efforts to reclaim the Eat Bulaga! trademarks.

comment
Writing Around Trademarks: Besides the above-mentioned placeholder title, the show still uses the original Bulaga theme tune, replacing "Eat Bulaga!" with "E—A—T!" for legal reasons. The game show segments were also altered somewhat from their original Bulaga concepts, also for legal reasons.

Insistent Terminology: The show's cast (and their loyal fans dating back from the Bulaga days) assert that TVJ and their posse are the real deal, dismissing the new Bulaga cast as mere usurpers.
