Eat Bulaga! (transl. Eat Surprise!; stylized as Eat... Bulaga!) is the Philippine longest-running noontime variety show currently broadcast on TV5 with its simulcast on RPTV. Originally hosted by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, collectively known as TVJ, with Chiqui Hollmann and Richie D'Horsie, the show premiered on July 30, 1979 at Radio Philippines Network. Currently produced by TVJ Productions, Inc. and led by the Sotto brothers and De Leon with their co-hosts, Allan K., Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros, Ryan Agoncillo, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Maine Mendoza, Miles Ocampo, Carren Eistrup, and Atasha Muhlach, collectively known as “Legit Dabarkads".

TVJ ended its partnership with TAPE Inc. due to an internal dispute and moved to TV5 with their interim show E.A.T., amidst a pending case with TAPE to reclaim the Eat Bulaga! trademark. On January 5, 2024, the Marikina RTC Branch 273 issued a permanent injunction to prevent TAPE from using Eat Bulaga! in their GMA-7 noontime show, and prior to the court's decision, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines ruled TVJ as the rightful owner of Eat Bulaga! and EB trademarks.
