'I still love you all 3 times a day': Jimmy Santos visits 'EAT,' also mistakenly calls it 'Eat Bulaga'

MANILA, Philippines — Veteran comedian Jimmy Santos made a surprise appearance at last Saturday's episode of noontime show "E.A.T."

Jimmy visited the noontime show to be a part of Joey de Leon's 77th birthday. 

In the "Gimme 5" segment, Wally Bayola introduced his driver named Daddy Ethan. 

Jimmy then appeared onstage, surprising the hosts, including Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Paolo Ballesteros, Atasha Muhlach and Allak K. 

“Happy birthday. Alam mo naman na hindi kita makalimutan,” Jimmy told Joey. 

“Nakatambay lang ako e, tapos naimbitahan akong mag-drive. Okay din,” he added. 

Vic then asked Jimmy for a birthday message for Joey. 

“I’d like to greet you a happy, happy, happy birthday. Whatever happens in this country, I still love you all three times a day," Jimmy said. 

“Especially those people surrounding the vicinity, I miss you all. Thank you very much. Still, ‘Eat Bulaga’ is here to stay," he added. 

Vic then corrected Jimmy, saying: “Mali, ‘E.A.T.’! Wala kang kupas.”

Jimmy was last seen in the "Bawal Judgemental" segment of "Eat Bulaga" last 2021. 

The comedian is now based in Canada. — Video from TV5 YouTube channel
