In a previous article, it was reported that Contis allegedly cried in the dressing room after the show aired its last live episode.
To recall, the TAPE noontime show was previously called “Eat Bulaga” initially after the trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon left along with the other hosts. However, TVJ did not back down from these. They put up a fight claiming that “Eat Bulaga” was theirs legally and their legal fight turned out victorious.
TAPE’s “Eat Bulaga” was changed to “Tahanang Pinakamasaya” and the name of the show was finally used by TVJ in TV5.

This is a lesson in humility. Had Contis not been as arrogant as if he owned the show, the show’s fate as well as the hosts’ would have been different. Karma is real!
