See main article: Eat Bulaga! Indonesia. Eat Bulaga! was originally franchised by Surya Citra Televisi as Eat Bulaga! Indonesia, retaining much of the original segments and games played on the Philippine TV show. It premiered on SCTV on July 16, 2012 after three months of negotiations and preparations. Bandung-born magician and comedian Uya Kuya was the main host and had Filipino teacher-turned-celebrity Leo Consul as one of its co-hosts. Eat Bulaga! Indonesia constantly ranked #1 on its timeslot, according to national TV ratings.
Throughout its first year, the show kept in close touch with its original Philippine counterpart. The hosts made many occasional trips to the Philippines to perform with the hosts of the original show - with the first such excursion broadcast on August 18, 2012
However, the show was cancelled by SCTV on April 3, 2014, weeks after Uya Kuya departed the program.
The Indonesian franchise returned as The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia on antv, airing its pilot telecast on November 17, 2014.
While Uya Kuya, Astrid Khairunnisha, Farid Aja and Reza Bukan retained their roles as main hosts, the show debuted with a completely new set of co-hosts — the majority being Indian actors with shows aired by ANTV — as well as a new layout. Because ANTV's audience included both Indians and Indian Indonesians, this version of the show adopted much Indian as well as Indo-Islamic influence and became more drastically differentiated from the original Filipino program.[3]
Its opening theme song and performance was re-written with new lyrics, though its tune was still based from the original Philippine composition. Viewers were greeted with "Inilah, The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia", meaning: "This is The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia," in English. In February 2016, the theme was once again given a minor change, a faster and modern dance-like mix.
Many of the games also debuted with new names, due to many of their original Philippine counterparts being discontinued. In spite of such handicap, the program also launched original segments, hence the adding of "The New" to the show's name to emphasize the large changes.
Viewers also got to watch replays of entire episodes on ANTV's YouTube channel, which also had replays of its other television shows. A unique twist to this version was its celebration of Islamic holidays and feasts, airing "Ramadan"-tailored editions during the Islamic holy month of the same name.
On November 20, 2015, The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia celebrated its first anniversary with ANTV - featuring an Indian-influenced celebration and guest appearances by Indian actresses Paridhi Sharma and Lavina Tandon due to both celebrities having a large fan base in Indonesia.
The show had its last live episode with ANTV on June 30, 2016, followed by an encore episode airing on August 8, 2016.
On January 30, 2023, The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia returned for a second time on ANTV, with Okky Lukman, Leo Consul (from the 2012 SCTV version), Rullyabii Margana, Alifa Lubis, Devina Kirana, Ncess Nabati, Aldi Taher and Jasi Michelle as the new set of hosts.[4] Predating its mother version by four weeks, The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia was the first in the franchise's history to make its 16:9 widescreen debut.
However, the show was cancelled yet again, on February 17, 2023, after only 18 days of airtime.
Similar to its prior incarnation, The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia did not air on the network's noontime slot which was the case of the original Filipino program as a consideration to the viewers' prayer time (salat).
Its 2014-16 run aired from 8:00 am (WIB) onwards, Monday to Saturday while its short-lived 2023 revival was slated at the earlier breakfast hours of 7:00 am to 9:00 am (WIB - corresponding to 8:00 to 10:00 AM PHT), Monday to Friday.[5] Both runs were a deviation from the 15:30 WIB (14:30 during Ramadan) slot held under SCTV
These were the segments on the show, as they were on ANTV's The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia, shown with their original names on SCTV's Eat Bulaga! Indonesia, the show adapted some games and segments from the original program:
