When AlDub started?
According to Wikipedia, AlDub (sometimes known as MaiDen) is a fictional supercouple pairing (or "love team" as it known in the Philippines) of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub from the Philippine daytime variety series Eat Bulaga! Its name is derived from a portmanteau of the tandem's character names, namely Filipino actor Alden Richards, who portrays a fictionalized version of himself, and Yaya Dub (real name Divina Ursula Bukbukova Smash, a playful reverse-acronym of Dubsmash), portrayed by Filipina voice-dubbing actress Maine Mendoza.
Both joining the program's cast in 2015, Richards first appeared as a host of Eat Bulaga! 's various segments, such as the "That's My Bae" portion; while Mendoza originally appeared as Yaya Dub in the show "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment. Exclusively interacting through the show's split screen frame, the AlDub couple have yet to meet personally for the first time, only communicating through dubbing audio samples of popular songs, films and TV series as well as handwritten messages on screen.
Last September 5, 2015, the couple finally saw each other for the first time after their respective performances in Bulaga Pa More! Dabarkads edition wildcard round.
n 2015, Alden Richards, who had finished filming the miniseries Ilustrado (2014), was invited to join Eat Bulaga! as a host for a month-long trial period, hosting various segments such as "Pak Na Pak" and later, "That's My Bae" with Indian-Filipino radio disc jockey Sam YG. A month later, Maine Mendoza, who had initially gained popularity for posting Dubsmash videos in various social media platforms, auditioned for the program after catching the attention of its producers. Mendoza had eventually joined the cast in July 2015. She recalled that she was originally cast as a lawyer for Eat Bulaga! 's "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment but was ultimately cast as Yaya Dub (Divina Ursula Bukbukova Smash), a nanny for comedian Wally Bayola's Lola Nidora character. Utilizing her Dubsmash popularity, Mendoza only communicates in the series through vocal dubbing and was initially portrayed as the snobbish Yaya Dub. On the show's July 16, 2015 episode, Yaya Dub broke character when she smiled upon seeing Richards on the show's live split screen, prompting Eat Bulaga 's producers to make an onscreen couple of the two. Mike Tuviera, a resident director for the show, revealed that the tandem was made by accident.The name "AlDub" was conceived as a portmanteau of the tandem's names, Alden and Yaya Dub And despite being featured in the show, the couple have yet to meet personally for the first time, only interacting through the show's split screen frame and conversing in dubbed audio samples of popular songs and lines from popular films and TV series as well as through handwritten messages on screen.
Let's wait what will be happened on their first date of Alden and Yaya Dub this Saturday in Eat Bulaga's KalyeSerye at GMA.
