Ariel Pagtalonia Manalo (born February 12, 1966), known professionally as Jose Manalo (Tagalog: [hoˈse mɐˈnɐlɔ]), is a Filipino actor, director, and comedian best known for previously appearing regularly on the noon-time variety show Eat Bulaga! on GMA Network and now appears daily on its spiritual successor, E.A.T. on TV5. He is also known for his stand-up performances.

Career

Manalo first appeared in the children's educational show Boyoyong in 1990. He also appeared in the TV soap opera series Valiente in 1992 as one of its supporting characters. He later started working behind the scenes as a production assistant on Eat Bulaga!. He then became a comedian and with his friend Wally Bayola, who was also entering show business around the same time, and they later became a comic duo. Manalo also appeared in several sitcoms on GMA Network like Daddy Di Do Du and Ful Haus, both starring Vic Sotto.

In 2010, Manalo returned to TV5 (formerly ABC 5) for his former sitcom, My Darling Aswang with Vic Sotto and Richie Reyes (also known as Richie D'Horsie). This was his second television program on TV5.

In 2011, Manalo, along with his comedic partner Bayola, headlined his own TV5 comedy show, The Jose and Wally Show Starring Vic Sotto and also Jimmy Santos. Manalo also worked with Sotto in films like Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak! and the MMFF film entry Enteng ng Ina Mo.

In 2023, Manalo and other co-hosts of Eat Bulaga! left TAPE, Inc., following the company's feud with Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon. Together, collectively known as the "Legit Dabarkads", moved to TV5 to host a new program entitled E.A.T.
