35 years of Domingão do Faustão: milestones and curiosities from Fausto Silva's career at Globo

This Tuesday (26), Domingão do Faustão celebrates 35 years since its debut on Globo. The auditorium program, commanded by Fausto Silva, marked an epoch in the broadcaster's programming and went on air to compete directly with the unbeatable Silvio Santos in the Ibope.

During its run, Domingão do Faustão became a ratings leader and won over the Brazilian public. However, in 2021, Fausto Silva decided to leave Globo and sign with Grupo Bandeirantes, thus ending his long career with the Rio de Janeiro broadcaster.

Faustão's show was marked by several iconic moments, such as the launch of catchphrases that have become trademarks of the presenter. In addition, Fausto has broken protocols by welcoming artists from other broadcasters onto his stage and was responsible for bringing a famous singer back to Globo's schedule after years of veto.

Throughout its history, Domingão do Faustão has stood out for breaking Silvio Santos' hegemony in the Sunday schedule and for promoting emotional moments, such as the tribute to Agnaldo Timóteo. Fausto Silva also became an unprecedented case in Globo's communication, winning over the audience and the advertising market with his irreverence and charisma.

With 35 years of history, Domingão do Faustão has left its mark on Brazilian television and will continue to be remembered as one of the most emblematic programs on TV.
