After leaving *Eat Bulaga!*, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (TVJ) and the "Legit Dabarkads" made an emotional comeback with their new show *E.A.T.* on TV5. During the pilot episode, they emphasized unity and fun, creatively defining "E.A.T." with playful acronyms like "Eto Ang Totoo" and "Everyday Ang Tawanan." Their departure from *It's Showtime* on TV5, which moved to GMA's GTV, was amicable, and TVJ clarified that there was no ill will between them and *Showtime*.
