De Leon said that he and the Sotto brothers did not sign a contract with the show when they were offered the opportunity to become hosts. Vic Sotto said that he accepted the offer and would stop once he had money to buy a personal vehicle. De Leon also said that the show was supposed to be a short-term job. After two years, the trio decided to stay with the show.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMSBxNibA9g |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/DMSBxNibA9g |archive-date=December 21, 2021 |url-status=live |title=Joey de Leon, wala raw kontrata sa Eat Bulaga |website=YouTube |publisher=PinoyParazzi |date=June 9, 2014 |access-date=October 21, 2014}}{{cbignore}}{{cite web|url=http://www.pep.ph/news/31385/vic-sotto-says-being-part-of-eat-bulaga-makes-him-feel-like-a-historical-figure/1/1#focus |title=Vic Sotto says being part of Eat Bulaga! makes him feel like a "historical figure" |author=Jimenez, Jocelyn |website=PEP |date=October 7, 2011 |access-date=July 22, 2015 |archive-date=July 22, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722225520/http://www.pep.ph/news/31385/vic-sotto-says-being-part-of-eat-bulaga-makes-him-feel-like-a-historical-figure/1/1#focus}} The show gained top-rating status in 1980 with the segment "Mr. Macho".

In the aftermath of the People Power Revolution, the show went off the air from February 27 to March 1, 1986, due to the transmitter of RPN being disabled by reformist soldiers. In 1987, Aiza Seguerra joined the show after Little Miss Philippines.{{cite episode|title=Little Miss Philippines: Aiza Seguerra |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-xqueoTtwI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/L-xqueoTtwI |archive-date=December 21, 2021 |url-status=live |series=Eat...

Eat... Bulaga! moved to ABS-CBN under a co-production agreement due to problems brought about by the sequestration of RPN.

In 1994, ABS-CBN attempted to purchase the broadcast rights to the show from TAPE Inc. The offer was rejected by Antonio Tuviera and Malou Choa-Fagar, leading the network to give Eat...

Eat Bulaga! began its transition from ABS-CBN Studio 1 to the Celebrity Sports Plaza on October 1, 1994, as part of its preparation for the switch to a new network. The move was finalized on January 19, 1995, during a contract signing between TAPE Inc. and GMA Network executives at the Makati Shangri-La, Manila. Subsequently, the show premiered on GMA Network on January 28, 1995, with a special episode titled Eat...

Alden Richards began his involvement with Eat Bulaga! on April 18, 2015, as a co-host for various segments, while Maine Mendoza first appeared on July 4, 2015, as Yaya Dub, a character introduced in the Problem Solving sub-segment of the Juan for All, All for Juan segment. In this role, Mendoza portrayed a comedic character interacting with the show's hosts and participants, which included solving fictional problems or misunderstandings in a humorous way. Her character quickly gained popularity due to her engaging Dubsmash videos and natural comedic timing.

• Sugod Bahay, Mga Kapatid! – primarily hosted by Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola and Paolo Ballesteros, with Ryan Agoncillo, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Maine Mendoza and Miles Ocampo serve as substitute hosts. The segment's concept is derived from the show's popular segment and predecessor, Juan for All, All for Juan, where hosts provide assistance and prizes to locals.{{cite web|author=Bernardino, Stephanie |url=https://mb.com.ph/2023/7/10/e-a-t-launches-sugod-bahay

|title=E.A.T. launches Sugod Bahay |website=Manila Bulletin |access-date=July 11, 2023 |date=July 10, 2023}} The signature segment portrays Jose Manalo as the "Mayor ng Buong Bansa" ({{translation|mayor of the whole country}}) for life. His perpetual “term” bestows laughter and prizes during his daily visits of constituents, co-barangays, and the Dabarkads.{{cite news|title=How our noontime "mayor" spreads fun and inspiration, one barangay at a time |url=https://news.tv5.com.ph/breaking/read/life-lessons-from-jose-manalo-how-our-noontime-mayor-spreads-fun-and-inspiration-one-barangay-at-a-time |access-date=March 8, 2024 |website=TV5 |date=March 8, 2024}}

• Gimme 5: Laro ng mga Henyo – challenges the knowledge and logical thinking of each pair of contestants, who are tested under time pressure. The segment has a combined concept from the American game show Family Feud and the show's popular segment and predecessor, Pinoy Henyo. The segment has introduced characters made using artificial intelligence, deepfake technology, and text-to-speech software who serve as hosts and remind the contestants about each round's mechanics.{{cite news|author=De Castro, Isagani Jr. |title=Tito, Vic, and Joey revive Pinoy Henyo game on E.A.T. after ratings dip |url=https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/tvj-revives-pinoy-henyo-game-eat-tv5-after-ratings-dip/ |date=July 21, 2023 |website=Rappler |access-date=July 30, 2023}}
• Peraphy (stylized as PERAPhY) – challenges the studio player's thinking strategy. It involves oversized playing cards faced with fruits that consists of 13 cards per fruit (banana, mango, pineapple, and watermelon) numbered 1–13. The goal is to complete a row of cards by correctly guessing whether the next one is Higher (Pataas) or Lower (Pababa) in value, with the initial prize potentially being doubled or cut in half in the final round. It also features the TVJ Singing Queens (Eunice Janine, Anne Ferrer, Jean Drilon, Samantha Rascal, and Khayzy Bueno), who handle the playing cards. The segment shares similarities with the show's original segment, Hi-Lo Todo Panalo which based on the American television game show, Card Sharks.{{cite web|title=TVJ's EAT introduces some of the segments that people can start joining starting next week |url=https://www.lionheartv.net/2023/07/tvj-eat-segments/ |website=LionhearTV |access-date=July 30, 2023 |date=July 3, 2023}}
• Barangay Bulagaan (referred as Bulagaan and previously Bulagaan University) – features the hosts delivering knock-knock jokes and pick-up lines paired with their song of choice. Originally held in a classroom setting, it now takes place in an eatery owned by Ryzza Mae Dizon's character, Miss Tapsi.{{cite news|date=April 6, 2024 |title=Laughs for Lunch Bulagaan's fresh yet familiar en·trée, dished out by Ryzza |url=https://news.tv5.com.ph/breaking/read/laughs-for-lunch-bulagaans-fresh-yet-familiar-en%C2%B7tree-dished-out-by-ryzza |access-date=October 23, 2024 |work=News 5}}
• Mr. Cutie: Boys Got Talent (2023–24) – a talent search for handsome, confident, and talented young men based on the show's original segment Mr. Pogi. It premiered on October 4, 2023, and aimed to discover the next heartthrob sensation.
