The program is the longest-running and most watched variety show on Philippine television history. It also holds the Philippine record of all-time number of live TV episodes. (Bulaga means "surprise" in Tagalog, although it should not be taken as the literal translation of the word surprise; its closest English equivalent is Peek-a-boo!. Eat is the transliteration of It!, the Tagalog game-slang for "lost (in the game)" and Eat was chosen because the show plays at lunch time) The show is broadcast from The New TAPE Studios at the GMA Broadway Centrum in Quezon City. As of June 5, 2010, it has a total of 9,256 episodes since the day it started airing. This show airs internationally through GMA Network's international flagship station, GMA Pinoy TV.
