Karla Estrada, Melai Cantiveros-Francisco and Jolina Magdangal-Escueta originally served as the main hosts until Estrada's departure in 2022 following her congressional bid; Estrada was replaced by Regine Velasquez-Alcasid since then. As of 2023, the program is currently the longest-running daily morning talk show on ABS-CBN and on Philippine television, surpassing the original run of Teysi ng Tahanan.

History
Title card (2017–2018)

The title is inspired from a popular line of the same name from the drama series Dream Dad.[1]

Magandang Buhay debuted on ABS-CBN every Monday to Friday at 07:30 (PST) on April 18, 2016, replacing Kris TV.[2] on June 21, 2016, the show moved its time slot to 08:00 (PST) onwards.[3]

On March 10, 2020, the show suspended it's live audience admission along with other in-studio programs of ABS-CBN following the declaration of a state of public health emergency in the country due to the COVID-19 outbreak that eventually evolved into a pandemic.[4]

On March 26, 2020, Magandang Buhay was broadcast via Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic's enhanced community quarantine in Luzon.[5] The show got suspended on May 5, 2020, after ABS-CBN ceased its free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida.[6] on June 15, 2020, the show resumed its live studio broadcast during the launch of Kapamilya Channel.[7] on October 19, 2020, the show's time slot moved to 10:30 (PST) following its simulcast on A2Z.[8] A week later, October 26, the show's runtime reduced to 60 minutes, airing it at 11:00 (PST).[9] on June 14, 2021, the show reverted its time slot to 09:00 (PST) onwards.[10]

Karla Estrada temporarily left the show due to her commitment with Tingog Party List in the 2022 elections. Regine Velasquez and Judy Ann Santos each served as guest co-host during Estrada's absence.[11][12] In a taped episode aired on July 22, 2022, Estrada returned for her final appearance on the show after 6 years.[13][14] on August 8, 2022, Velasquez officially became a regular host in the talk show, along with a new version of the theme song as part of its 6th year anniversary activities.[15]

TV5 simulcast

In a trade event on November 23, 2022, it was announced that Magandang Buhay will be part of 2023 programming for TV5. It premiered on TV5 on February 6, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. replacing the now-defunct Chika, Besh!. The program served as a pre-programming to morning newscast Frontline sa Umaga (later replaced by Gud Morning Kapatid). This will be the latest ABS-CBN-produced program to be simulcast to TV5.[16]

On June 19, 2023, the show's airing on TV5 was moved to an early timeslot at 7:00 a.m, being a replay of the previous day's episode, to give way for TV5's newest morning newscast Gud Morning Kapatid.
