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 internal conflicts between TVJ and the new management[broken anchor].[2][3]
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 the latter's simulcast of ABS-CBN Studios's noontime show It's Showtime.[4] The show was then known by its placeholder title E.A.T., pending a trademark dispute between TAPE, Inc. and TVJ Productions which eventually concluded in favor of the latter.[5][6][7]
Apart from Eat Bulaga!, the company is exploring other production interests for the possible revival of Iskul Bukol and aired the revived Wow Mali: Doble Tama in which Joey de Leon would pass his mantle to the JoWa tandem (Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola).[8]
Since 2024, the production started to produce its Lenten Drama Special[broken anchor] for Eat Bulaga!, a tradition that was already started when the show was still produced by TAPE Inc. The production is the first edition to broadcast on TV5, ending its 27-year stint with GMA Network and 32-year stint with TAPE Inc., following the departure of the original host from the said network and production company on May 31, 2023.
As per Philstar.com, MediaQuest Holdings, a media conglomerate owned by Manny V. Pangilinan, through MQuest Ventures agreed to acquire more than half (51%), a majority of company shares of the production company owned by TVJ themselves.[9]
