Netizens react to ‘Eat Bulaga’ playing the ‘It’s Showtime’ theme song

Netizens were amused after the theme song of ‘It’s Showtime’ was played during a May 6 episode of GMA Network’s ‘Eat Bulaga.’

During the segment, Joey de Leon challenged Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Allan K, and Gabbi Garcia to sing the theme song of their rival show, ‘It’s Showtime’. He offered a prize of P10,000 to win.

The Dabarkads accepted the challenge, and they sang the theme song of the opposing noontime show.

The studio audience joined in and did the ‘It’s Showtime wave’ while the Dabarkads sang.

Afterward, de Leon joked that the singing hosts were fired from the show ‘Eat Bulaga’.

This segment by the Dabarkads was well-received online, and it was seen as a teaser for a possible back-to-back of the two noontime shows.

As per a Bilyonaryo article released on April 4, the two noontime shows are presently discussing with Brightlight Productions the possibility of having Eat Bulaga! aired on TV5.

The same article states that Tito, Vic, and Joey have given the current management of TAPE Inc., led by the Jalosjos siblings, until April 11 to accept their proposal. This is to resolve the issue over TAPE Inc control.

If the discussions fail, the trio claims they have the right to the brand, ‘Eat Bulaga!’ and move it to another channel like TV5 or NET25 where they already have separate programs on the latter channel.

They have already initiated early talks with both networks, but TV5 seems more appealing.

This is mainly due to the possibility of back-to-back programming with ‘It’s Showtime’, Eat Bulaga’s previous rival in noontime programming.
