Notes

  1. E.A.T. served as a temporary show launched by TVJ while they took legal action to reclaim the trademark from TAPE Inc., following a dispute that destroyed their long-term partnership.[3]
  2. Eat Bulaga! Indonesia, the first international franchise retaining much of the original Philippine TV show segments and games, premiered on SCTV on July 16, 2012.
  3. Eat Bulaga!'s second international franchise is called "Eat Bulaga! Myanmar". On July 30, 2019, Eat Bulaga! announced the news of its second franchise in Myanmar amid the celebration of its 40th anniversary. Prior to the supposed production of the show, subtitled episodes aired as early as January 2021. Due to the internal armed conflict in Myanmar, including the 2021 military coup, as well as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the production of the show was delayed until two years later. The show debuted on May 31, 2021, on Mizzima TV.[4]
