Notable personalities were also spotted in the audience included Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, Vic's wife Pauleen Luna, Joey's wife Eileen and daughter Jocas, and Tito's daughter and MTRCB chair Lala Sotto.
As they entered the venue, lively music accompanied their footsteps, gradually transitioning into a more sentimental melody that evoked strong emotions.&nbsp;
The trio shared a heartfelt embrace before facing the eager audience, with the initials "TVJ" prominently displayed as a tribute to their iconic names.

Later, they were joined on stage by their fellow hosts to sing the beloved theme song of "Eat Bulaga," albeit with a slight twist as they spelled out "E-A-T" instead of the customary "Eat Bulaga" in the jingle.
Before the final rendition of the theme song, the hosts were invited to suggest possible titles for their show.&nbsp;
After several hosts shared their perspectives on what "EAT" meant to them, Joey playfully proposed that "EAT" stood for "Eto Ang Title" (This Is the Title). However, it remains uncertain whether this suggestion will ultimately be chosen as the official title of the program.
TVJ, along with fellow hosts, recently <a href="https://www.dzrh.com.ph/post/eat-bulaga-in-tv5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed with Mediaquest Holdings Inc</a>. entering an agreement to produce content for TV5 and other platforms.
