History
Banana Split is the spiritual successor to the Goin' Bananas series which included Edgar Mortiz, Christopher de Leon, and the late Jay Ilagan and Johnny Delgado.

Banana Split first aired on October 11, 2008. The second season premiered on February 28, 2009, and the third season on April 18, 2009 with a new cast. A 30-minute version began airing every weekday afternoon from September 30, 2009, entitled Banana Split: Daily Servings, as part of the Hapontastic block. On August 18, 2010, it was moved to morning timeslot at 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. However it was moved again twice as early as 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. starting June 27, 2011. On July 9, 2011 the Saturday show was reformatted as Banana Split: Extra Scoop which features live comedy performance including the return of Clown in a Million Season 2, a reality comedy search. On September 12, 2011, Banana Split: Daily Servings will be renamed as Banana Split: Lafternoon Delight and moved to 2:45 pm slot. Due to low ratings, Banana Split: Lafternoon Delight was ended on October 7, 2011.

Banana Split: Extra Scoop airs every Saturday night and surprisingly, the show did well and garnering higher ratings on its timeslot compare to other counterpart programs. Because of its success in the late night timeslot, the network decided to launch a version of the gag show airing Tuesday-Saturday at after Bandila from February 25, 2013 onwards titled Banana Nite, replacing the News and Current Affairs programs on the late night slot. Starting Monday, August 5, 2013, Banana Nite will now air 15 minutes longer from 11:30PM–12:15 AM. Starting Monday, February 10, 2014, Banana Nite will go back to 30 minutes from 12:25AM–12:55 AM. Banana Nite ended on October 30, 2015 after their two-year run also Banana Split Extra Scoop ended on November 7, 2015 after its four-year run to be reformatted as Banana Sundae that it premiered on November 15, 2015 and it moved to Sunday depicting its program's name. The move was seen as the network's answer to another weekend comedy-variety show Sunday PinaSaya from competitor GMA Network. Starting April 9, 2016, Cine Mo! started airing segments from Banana Split every Saturday 9pm entitled Banana Bites: Ibang Klasiks.

With the change, the show unwittingly pioneered a "seamless" patch segment at the start of its show where the Singer TV hosts Martin Nievera & Zsa Zsa Padilla Luzon Visayas Mindanao Seameless Na Always brimming with energy for [[Eat Bulaga! (Saturday edition) was given the task of turning over for a smooth transition the concluding portion of Eat Bulaga! (Saturday edition) to The Wowowin hosts would pick it up from there and the mainstays of both shows exchange on-air banter for a couple of minutes, punctuated with a lot of friendly jeers, private jokes and ribbing switching weekdays and saturdays timeslots between Eat Bulaga! another weekly noontime variety show first hosted by Tito Sotto Vic Sotto and Joey De Leon (Saturday edition)
