After a series of throwback clips, the hosts went onstage to perform songs that were notable throughout their history, such as SexBomb Girls’ “The Spageti Song,” “Cha-Cha Dabarkads,” “Fantastic Baby,” and its theme song, to name a few.
Several former hosts of the show also made a surprise appearance, among them Jimmy Santos, Julia Clarete, and Aiza Seguerra.
Heavily featured throughout were mainstay hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, in what seemed to be a showcase of how the show grew along with them.
“’Eat Bulaga’ is on its 46th year, 46 years of joy and happiness, and the memories of us being together. It feels good to carry such memories, and which hopefully will be remembered in the years to come,” de Leon said.
