    Owner

    TVJ Productions, Inc. is a Philippine media production company co-owned by Eat Bulaga! hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (collectively known as "TVJ") and media company MediaQuest Holdings. The company was formed on June 7, 2023, after TVJ severed its ties with Television and Production Exponents, Inc., the former producer of Eat Bulaga! due to conflicts between TVJ and the new management.[4][5]

    Projects

    The current iteration of the Philippines' longest-running noontime variety and entertainment show Eat Bulaga!, co-produced by TVJ Productions and TV5, premiered on July 1, 2023, which replaced ABS-CBN Studios' noontime show It's Showtime's timeslot after it was moved to All TV,[6] GMA Network[7] and GTV.[8][9] The show was then known by its placeholder title E. A. T., yet pending a trademark dispute between TAPE, Inc. and TVJ Productions which eventually concluded in favor of the latter.[10][11][12][13]

    Apart from Eat Bulaga!, the company is exploring other production interests for the possible revival of Iskul Bukol.

    Since 2024, the company started to produce the Lenten Drama Special for Eat Bulaga!.The production is the first edition to broadcast on TV5, ending its 28-year stint with GMA Network and 42-year stint with TAPE Inc., following the departure of the original host from the said network and production company on May 31, 2023.
