The show’s transition from ‘Eat Bulaga!’ to ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya’ followed a legal dispute over trademark rights with former mainstays Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon. Their departure from the program amid a longstanding feud with the producer marked a significant chapter in the show’s storied history.
As Filipino viewers bid farewell to ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya,’ they reflect on the cherished memories and joyous moments that have made the program an integral part of their daily lives.
