“44 years. In July, it will be running for 45 years. The name ‘Eat Bulaga’ was coined by Joey, he owns it. The song was created by Vic, he owns it. So, ganoon talaga, and ako ‘yung manager (It’s really like that, and I’m the manager),” he said.

During the interview, Sotto was also asked about the longevity of the “Tito, Vic, and Joey” mass appeal in “Eat Bulaga,” and what made their tandem a hit among the Filipino masses.

“Siguro sa ‘Eat Bulaga,’ ang pulso namin kung ano ‘yung kagat sa tao, gusto nila, wala kaming portion na hindi gusto ng tao. Kapag may portion kami na gusto, hindi namin ipipilit kung mahina ang response. We try to feel the pulse of the people,” he said.

(I guess in “Eat Bulaga,” we try to listen to what the people want and what makes them tick. We don’t have any show portions that people don’t like. If ever there’s something that doesn’t seem to get the attention of the viewers, we’re not going to force our way. We try to feel the pulse of the people.)
