Eugenio "Boy" Abunda, Jr. is a Filipino renowned actor, television presenter, journalist, and talent manager and is dubbed as "The King of Talk" in Philippine Showbiz.

He was born in Borongan City, Eastern Samar. When his father died, he dropped out of school and tried odd jobs to survive.[1]

He later found a job in Metropolitan Theater as an assistant stage manager and became an assistant to Conching Sunico, the administrator of Metropolitan Theater who taught him about public relations. After two years, he put up his own PR company called Backroom, Inc.

Boy Abunda was also one of the pillars behind the early years of Probe.

While doing PR consulting jobs for GMA Network, a network executive at the time, suggested that he try television. Soon, he became one of the hosts of Show and Tell, a late night variety talk show with Gretchen Barretto, and subsequently, Startalk, an entertainment talk show. In 1999, he subsequently moved to ABS-CBN where he currently hosts three shows: The Buzz, Private Conversations, SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon, and his latest TV reality talk show, The Bottomline.

Boy Abunda also produced an album titled "Melodic Conversations".[2]

He attended Ateneo de Manila University.
