Eat Bulaga!/Trivia

Trivia about  includes:


 * Channel Hop: The show first aired on RPN-9 in 1979, then on ABS-CBN in 1989. It switched channels again, this time to GMA Network. The show jokingly alluded to this through the catchphrase "9–2=7, Totoo ang Sie7e" ("Nine minus two equals seven, Seven is really true") when they promoted the move immediately before the show's entry to GMA Network.
 * Doing It for the Art: Tito, Vic and Joey stated in an interview that they did not sign any contracts with the show since 1979, instead staying with the show out of loyalty for the programme which inarguably helped launch their careers.
 * Executive Meddling: This accounts for why Bulaga moved to GMA-7, as ABS-CBN vainly attempted to acquire the rights to the series from TAPE, Inc.
 * Money, Dear Boy: Vic admitted in an interview that he took up the hosting stint for Bulaga in order to save enough to buy his own car, with the thought of leaving the show soon after. Joey de Leon also admitted that his hosting job at the show was initially a short-term role. The TVJ instead chose to stay as regular hosts since then.
 * Playing Against Type: With the Lenten specials, where the hosts set aside their usual comic roles in favour of faith-based if not inspirational melodrama.
 * Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Francis Magalona was taken off the show's roster following his arrest due to drug possession charges, though he returned to the show the next year.
 * Star-Making Role: Tito, Vic and Joey owe a lot to the show as it helped launch their careers. Ditto with Ice Seguerra (nee Aiza Seguerra prior to his transition to a transgender man), Jessa Zaragoza and Ryzza Mae Dizon, all of whom started off as child contestants in the "Little Miss Philippines" segment. And let's not forget Maine Mendoza whose career took off after being paired with Alden Richards.
