Kalyeserye was a soap opera parody segment that was aired live on the Filipino noontime variety show Eat Bulaga! on GMA Network. The show-within-a-show, as it had evolved, focused on AlDub, the fictional couple pairing of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza's "Yaya Dub" character in which the two only communicate through lip-syncing to various pop songs and movie audio clips as well as written messages, and interact only on the show's split-screen frame. Richards is usually based in Broadway Centrum studio of Eat Bulaga! in Quezon City, Metro Manila while Mendoza travels around to a different external location.

The immediate success of 'Kalyeserye' led to its runtime being expanded to at least an hour through the segment's run. The show featured live improvisation from Alden Richards, Maine Mendoza, Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo and Paolo Ballesteros, who all played various roles while the other hosts of Eat Bulaga! in the studio served as live commentators (usually as a live "panel" consisting of 3–4 hosts) that interact with the characters and also with the audience. Kalyeserye had elements of comedy-drama, parody, romantic comedy and reality television. According to Anna Leah Sarabia, a Filipino anthropologist, the segment uses fairy tale and soap opera tropes.[1] The term "Kalyeserye", coined by Eat Bulaga! host Joey de Leon, is a play on the Filipino word teleserye (television series) and is a portmanteau of the Tagalog words kalye (street, from Spanish calle) and serye (series, serie); the term refers to the location outside the studio, which was usually shot out on the streets of Metro Manila or in the provinces of the Philippines that serve as the remote setting of the parody segment.

The portion proved to be a success in both television and social media, resulting in a significant increase in viewership and popularity of Eat Bulaga!.[2] The segment helped put the showbiz careers of Richards and Mendoza on the map.[3]

Kalyeserye temporarily ended on September 3, 2016[4] and returned on October 15, 2016, after a month-break.[5] The entire segment concluded on December 17, 2016.
