Lunch Date was a noontime variety show that aired on GMA Network from 1986 to 1993. It was created as a competitor to the long-running Eat Bulaga! and became a beloved lunchtime habit for many Filipino households. Over the years, the show had several hosts, including Randy Santiago, Keno, Lito Pimentel, Manilyn Reynes, and Kuh Ledesma, among others. Lunch Date featured a mix of musical performances, dance numbers, fun games, and exciting prizes, making it a well-loved program during its time. Though it eventually ended in 1993, it remains a nostalgic favorite among fans of classic noontime TV.

One of the most memorable aspects of Lunch Date was its theme song, particularly the second version (1989-1993), which had a lively and inviting feel. The lyrics emphasized camaraderie, fun, and entertainment—highlighting how the show was packed with singing, dancing, comedy, and surprises. It also reinforced the idea that Lunch Date was a program for the whole family, where viewers could laugh, enjoy, and take a break from their day.

LYRICS:
Kami ang barkada na makakasama
Halina tayo ay magsaya,
Ito ang programang puno ng ligaya
'Pagkat nalilibang talaga

Mga kantahan at mayroon ding sayawan
Mga pakwela at bagong kaalaman
Dito sa Lunch Date na ubod ng saya!

Mga papremyo ay kayrami talaga
Dito'y tatawa, dito ay lilibang pa
Kung hahanapin programang pampamilya
Dito sa Lunch Date, sa Lunch Date!

Kami ang barkada na makakasama
Halina tayo ay magsaya
Ito ang programang puno ng ligaya
Pagkat nalilibang talaga

Mga kantahan at kayraming sayawan
Mga pakwela at bagong kaalaman
Dito sa Lunch Date... sa Lunch Date
Dito sa Lunch Date, na ubod ng saya!

Lunch Date!
