During an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on July 3, “Eat Bulaga” host Isko Moreno shared his expectations regarding the ratings competition among rival noontime shows “E.A.T.” and “It’s Showtime,” acknowledging the drama surrounding the shows.
Isko expressed that the intense rivalry in the noontime slot would be beneficial for the artists involved. He emphasized that hosts of noontime shows should not harbor animosity towards one another while competing.
“Well, that’s understandable because there’s so much hype, drama happened in the past weeks and day,” Isko said. “Now, if there will be buffet like in this case, lalabas lahat ng galing ng mga artista kasi may kumpitensiya.”
Based on Nielsen NUTAM Overnight Data, “E.A.T.” achieved an average minute rating of 8.4 percent, while “It’s Showtime” garnered 3.94 percent across three different channels. “Eat Bulaga” received a rating of 2.62 percent.

“Kumbaga, parang ang point ko, let’s not create hate and expect somebody to favor you to go up. Para tumaas ka, aapakan mo ‘yung likod nang may likod o paa nang may paa. We should be proud na panalo dito ngayon ‘yung viewers so magtulungan tayo. So, marami na ngayong options. Marami nang opportunity at gaganda na ‘yung noontime shows para sa viewers,” he added.
