Became infamous for the "bathtub soap" game featuring male and female guests and models in bikinis, which were deemed inappropriate to be on air in Sunday afternoons. This game marked the television debut of actress Luiza Ambiel.
Was almost canceled in 2002 after a hoax. The producers hired actors to act out an interview as supposed members of the Brazilian criminal organization PCC. Such "members" appeared in black masks and shadows. They "threatened" investigative journalism personalities such as Marcelo Rezende and José Luiz Datena. PCC officially declined they had given any interviews and one of the "criminals" admitted the hoax during a testimonial. The show was taken off the air the following week and ratings dropped definitely after the scandal. Gugu Liberato insisted that he was unaware of the hoax, but apologized to the parties mentioned nevertheless. This is depicted in The King of TV (2022).
Host by Gugu Liberato for sixteen years before leaving to Record TV. Celso Portiolli replaced him in 2009.
Competed for years for ratings against Domingão do Faustão (1989). However, both shows crossed over in 2002 as part of the Nestlé 80th anniversary campaign. One show briefly appeared live in another and vice versa.
Longtime director Roberto Manzoni ("Magrão") dropped out of the show days before the PCC hoax went on air in 2003. And then again in 2016, his leaving this time being definitive.
