Discorama. Only Tito and Vic accepted Joey's invitation. The newly-formed trio started to do comedy newscast segments interspersed with Top 40 hit-song parodies written by Joey. The new comedy trio gave
Discorama a new lease on life and was saved from the axe of network executives. The trio was soon invited to become part of Bobby's noontime show
Student Canteen as they released 12 hit albums based on their
Discorama Tough Hits segment.
Although Tito, Vic and Joey started their trio via
Discorama and
Student Canteen, it was the sitcom
Iskul Bukol that gave them nationwide fame as comedians. Soon after, other TV and movie producers came knocking on the trio's door. In 1979, Tito, Vic and Joey started hosting for the noontime show
Eat Bulaga! which was pitted against the more established
Student Canteen hosted by their former colleague (and now competitor) Bobby Ledesma. Not long after,
Eat Bulaga! toppled
Student Canteen from the ratings.
Joey as solo artist
Although Joey continued to do movies alongside his showbiz team mates Tito and Vic, he started doing solo performances for other TV shows. He topbilled

where he played father to a very young Ian Veneracion (who later metamorphosed into a teen heartthrob and action star in the '90s). He was also one of the gag performers on TODAS where his co-stars included Jimmy Santos and Val Sotto. Other TV shows that Joey did as a solo host/comedian included Apple Pie, Patis, Atbp., The Sharon Cuneta Show, and Let's Go Crazy. He was launched by Viva Films as a solo comedian in

. The movie was a big hit, and Joey went on to do more solo movies, mostly with his favorite sidekick
Rene RequiestasRenato "Rene" Requiestas was one of the top Filipino comedic acts of the late 1980s up to the early 1990s. Handpicked by comedian Joey de Leon for his comedic timing and natural funny disposition, Rene became known for his sidekick roles and his toothless grin...
. He also tried his hand at directing movies like
Romeo Loves Juliet and
Small, Medium, Large.
Joey topbilled movies that are mostly spoofs of foreign movies or takes at American and Filipino pop culture. When
Starzan became a box-office hit in 1989, he did two more sequels on that same year with tremendous box-office results. Because of the phenomenal box-office standings of the 3
Starzan movies that he made, he was named
Box-Office King for that year. He also earned the title
Sequel King because most of his movies (
Barbi,
Elvis and James,
Long Ranger en Tonton) each spawned sequels.
When Rene Requiestas went solo with his movie career (and later died in 1993), Joey concentrated on TV. He did several TV shows for major networks, mostly with GMA and ABC. In 1995, Joey made a movie comeback via the comedy
Bangers for Viva Films, which teamed him up with comic Chiquito and rapper/comedian

. This was later followed up by a series of comedy films that had him topbilled alongside other comedians like Leo Martinez (
Pipti-pipti) and Dennis Padilla (
Ang Tipo kong Lalake and
Takot ako sa Darling Ko). However, with the Philippine movie industry slowly losing its grip on the audience, Joey decided to concentrate on TV again, although he still appears in movies every now and then. Currently he still hosts
Eat Bulaga which is now the longest-running TV program in the Philippines, and appears in other shows like
Mel and Joey,
Startalk,
Nuts Entertainment and started a new show for ABC, the now-defunct

In December 2006, Joey returned to recording with a novelty single he wrote entitled "Itaktak Mo" (Shake it off). Unlike most of his previously recorded songs where the melodies were based on past and contemporary hits,
Itaktak Mo had a unique melody that can pass off as either a pop dance hit or a ballroom song. Seen by critics as his answer to the other wildly popular hit,

's segment "Taktak Mo o Tatakbo" that replaced "Laban o Bawi", and is also one of the official dances of the 4th batch of the reality talent search
StarStruck.
After "Itaktak Mo" became one of the most requested dance tunes of 2007, Joey followed it up with "Kagat Labi Song", which was launched on "Eat Bulaga" on September 22, 2007. The "Kagat Labi" dance craze was already sweeping the whole country by storm before Joey wrote it. On February 24, 2008, Joey released a single entitled "Walang Daya" (No Cheating) with lyrics comparing his love to his rival host Willie Revillame's misfortunes (Wilyonaryo, Ferrari and Ultra stampede). He first sang it at his own program "Mel and Joey". "Walang Daya" will be included in the album version of "Kagat Labi" will be released under EMI Philippines.
Suspension
Joey has been suspended by the MTRCB (the Philippine censorship board) twice from hosting
Eat Bulaga!. His first suspension was in 2003 for one month, after uttering a joke related to birds during the question and answer portion of the kiddie pageant
That's My Boy.
His second suspension was in 2004 after uttering a Filipino slang word for
fellatioFellatio, also called fellation, is oral sex performed upon the penis. It may be performed to induce orgasm and ejaculation of semen, or it can be used as foreplay prior to vaginal or anal forms of intercourse....
during the
TKO portion. The second suspension was supposedly for two months but after reportedly suffering from emotional and health problems brought about by the suspension, he was allowed by MTRCB to go back on the air after a month.
Since then, Joey has cleaned up his act although he still retains his
'pilyo' (naughty) ways when he makes people laugh with his jokes.
Word War with Willie Revillame
On August 29, 2007, Joey was the subject of Willie Revillame's ire after the latter aired his so called - sentiments in the ABS-CBN noontime show, "Wowowee". At that time Joey was still on vacation in Hong Kong with the cast and staff of "Eat Bulaga!". On August 30, 2007, Joey answered Willie's tirades against him by advising his erstwhile colleague in a 10-minute speech, "Explain before you complain". On that day, Senator

More than a year after the word war, Joey and Willie buried the hatchet when both hosts were invited to the Supreme Awards of The Philippine Star. Willie received awards as Televisionary Award and Best Noontime Show for "Wowowee" while Joey received the highest Supremo award. On their respective speeches, both hosts expressed their admiration for each other. Joey also denied there was a word war between him and Willie, admitting the supposed word war was just "teasing".
Gag order allegations and self-regulation
On September 15, 2007 Joey took a leave of absence from GMA's Saturday talk show "Startalk" after MTRCB allegedly issued a directive to GMA Network to prevent him from further commenting on the "Wilyonaryo Scam" of rival noontime show "Wowowee". Some unnamed executives of GMA were also reported to have told Joey to refrain from wearing t-shirts with printed references to "2-0", "Explain before you complain" or "Cheating is..." or making hand gestures in reference to the said scam. On September 19, 2007 in his "De Leon's Den" column in the Manila Bulletin, Joey jokingly wrote that he might go back to radio to continue commenting on the "Wilyonaryo" scam but has vaguely declared a close book on it. Joey returned to

Resignation from Manila Bulletin
On July 31, 2008, Joey tendered his irrevocable resignation as columnist (
De Leon's Den) for
Manila BulletinThe Manila Bulletin , is the Philippines' largest broadsheet newspaper by circulation, followed by the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It bills itself as "The Nation's Leading Newspaper", which is its official slogan...
. The reason for his resignation was because of a news article written by Dindo Balares for Manila Bulletin's sister tabloid newspaper
Balita that the "Eat Bulaga" US show last July 19, 2008 was a flop. In the said article the writer questioned the lack of success in "Eat Bulaga"'s show in Los Angeles. What got the ire of De Leon was Balares' claim that a certain GMA-7 executive was the source of the said rumor. In an interview with Butch Francisco and Lolit Solis on "Startalk", Joey openly challenged the writer to name the GMA-7 executive. In exchange he will give business-class tickets to him for a one-week stay in America.
Joey posed another challenge this time on his home network GMA-7. If the GMA executives invite Balares in any of the network's press conferences, he will resign in all of his shows at the Kapuso network. However, a certain person with an alias of
joweedeame came out in the open thru a published letter from People's Journal. According to the website Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) he claimed he was the source of the said rumor written by Dindo Balares. He has apologized for the mess he has made, particularly to Joey de Leon and GMA Network. During the August 9, 2008 interview on "Startalk", Joey said he has forgiven both joweedeame and Dindo Balares. He also declared that he will resume his column on Philippine Star starting on August 17.
