The iconic Vídeo Show is making a return to celebrate Globo's 60th anniversary with a special edition airing on April 24, 2025. This much-anticipated episode will feature beloved former hosts like Miguel Falabella, Cissa Guimarães, André Marques, and Angélica, all gathering to relive the show's rich history.
Originally launched in March 1983, the Vídeo Show quickly became a staple of Brazilian television, initially hosted by actress Tássia Camargo. Over the years, it underwent various changes in format and presenters, but consistently focused on behind-the-scenes content and fun trivia about Globo's programming. In 1987, Marcelo Tas took over hosting duties, but it was Miguel Falabella who became the show's most iconic face, solidifying its place in the hearts of viewers.
The special edition of Vídeo Show will not only spotlight classic segments such as "Falha Nossa" and "Túnel do Tempo" but will also include special appearances and a tour of the Estúdios Globo led by comedian Paulo Vieira. This reunion of former hosts promises to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the show.
Despite its popularity in the past, the Vídeo Show was canceled in 2019 due to declining ratings, a decision that reflected Globo's ongoing search for programming that resonates with modern audiences. Amauri Soares, the executive director of Globo Studios, confirmed that while there are no plans for a permanent return, this special edition serves as an opportunity to celebrate the show's legacy and its impact on Brazilian television culture.
As part of the broader celebrations for Globo's 60th anniversary, the network is planning 60 hours of special programming from April 25 to April 28, 2025. This extensive lineup will traverse the past, present, and future of the network, ensuring that viewers have a comprehensive experience of Globo's journey.
The festivities will kick off on April 25 with a special episode of Globo Repórter, which will delve into the timeline of TV Globo, showcasing behind-the-scenes stories and challenges that have shaped the network over the decades. Following this, on April 26, the anniversary day, the morning show Bom dia Sábado will commence the marathon of special programming, which will include beloved shows like "Pequenas Empresas & Grandes Negócios" and "É De Casa." After the special edition of Vídeo Show, an exclusive episode of "Vídeo Game," featuring Angélica, will air, bringing back fond memories of the early 2000s.
Additionally, the programming will pay tribute to the network's history through various shows, including Caldeirão com Mion and Altas Horas, both of which will reference the significance of the anniversary. Notably, the soap opera Volta Por Cima will reach its final chapter on the anniversary day, marking a poignant moment in the network's storytelling history.
On April 27, Domingão com Huck will host a special program honoring the legacy of auditorium shows, while a highly anticipated football match between Flamengo and Corinthians will take place at the Maracanã Stadium as part of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The iconic show Fantástico will also debut a new opening sequence that pays homage to its storied past while looking forward to the future.
The celebrations will continue into April 28, starting with a unique segment on the morning show Mais Você, where viewers will participate in a competition to select TV Globo's birthday cake. Later that evening, the soap opera Dona de Mim, written by Rosane Svartman, will premiere, featuring a talented cast including Tony Ramos and Claudia Abreu.
In a nostalgic twist, Odete Roitman, a character beloved by fans, will make a return in a special episode of Vale Tudo, further enriching the celebratory atmosphere. Following the soap opera, the Show 60 anos will air, providing a platform for emotional reunions and reflections from those who have contributed to Globo's rich history.
