The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia (originally Eat Bulaga! Indonesia) was a variety and game show In Indonesia produced by Television and Production Exponents, Inc., and last aired by ANTV Network. It was based on the Philippines' longest-running noon-time variety show, Eat Bulaga!, which made it the first Philippine TV show to be franchised in another country. Its first incarnation premiered on July 16, 2012 and ended on April 3, 2014, which aired on its original network SCTV. The show returned on its second network, ANTV from November 17, 2014 to August 8, 2016 with a mix of original and new hosts.
Malou Choa-Fagar, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Television and Production Exponents Inc., revealed that SCTV first approached them.
Harsiwi Achmad, program director, had been watching the show on YouTube before she moved to SCTV. Achmad felt that the program was entertaining and educating, and that it can spread positive values and get close with the community. Feeling that it would work well with Indonesian audience, Achmad contacted TAPE's marketing creative service advisor, Gerry C. Guzman, who became a way for the SCTV and Filipino executives to negotiate. Kebon Jeruk, director of programs and production at Studio Penta SCTV, also became interested, saying that he wants the program to be as successful as the original. The situation had initially shocked and surprise Filipino television executives. The SCTV executives then went to the Philippines to spend time watch the show and getting a chance to see how it works.
Surya Utama, known by his stage name "Uya Kuya" (literally "Boss Uya", counterpart to Eat Bulaga!'s "Bossing Vic"), a magician and comedian from Bandung, would become the show's main host. His wife, Astrid Khairunnisha, also known by "Astrid Kuya" also co-hosted the show.
The show began simply as "Eat Bulaga! Indonesia", retaining much of the original segments and games played on the Philippine TV show, and premiered on SCTV on July 16, 2012. On July 21, 2012 - Philippine viewers watching on GMA Network got to view a glimpse of the show's opening performance, while the Philippine hosts simultaneously performed the beginning to the Philippine show.
