If Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon are no longer hosting Eat Bulaga, Alden Richards will not accept the new management’s offer.
According to Entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin, Richards told her he wouldn’t accept the offer without the iconic trio of hosts and Mr. Tony Tuviera. He managed the noontime show for years.
Fermin said, “Marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob si Alden! Ito po ang totoo at sinabi niya ito sa akin na anuman daw ang offer ang ibigay sa kanya ng bagong pamunuan ng Eat Bulaga, hindi siya sasama.”
She added, “Kung baga tama ‘yung sinabi mo paninindigan niya ‘yung kanyang imahe bilang mapagkumbaba, marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob, hindi nakalilimot. Alam ni Alden ‘yan na ang Eat Bulaga ang gumawa sa AlDub.”
Fermin shared that Richards has a debt of gratitude towards the show.
In 2015, Alden became part of the noontime show. He peaked when he was unintentionally paired with his co-host Maine Mendoza during the Juan for All, All for Juan segment of the show. The two became a love team known as AlDub.
