What are 10 directors of great TV shows that most don’t know very well

Every day, millions of Brazilians turn on their television to watch their favorite programs. And, despite knowing by heart the way of each presenter, most do not know who the directors of the attractions are: professionals who, many times, are directly responsible for the television success.

With that in mind, the awesome.club invites you to meet 10 directors of Brazilian TV who are behind highly successful programs among the public!

One of the most imposing women on Brazilian television is Lucimara Parisi. The star worked for decades as the director of programs presented by communicator Fausto Silva, known as Faustão. Consequently, she was invited to direct Programa do Ratinho. In fact, her fame is such that it is not just behind the scenes. She makes several appearances in the cast and was invited to have her own show on RBTV, which is named after her.

Another powerful player in Brazilian television is Rodrigo Carelli. The director is responsible for several hits on Record TV, such as A Fazenda and Power Couple. In addition, he can be considered as one of the specialists in reality shows in the country, as he commanded the first in national territory: Casa dos Artistas, on SBT.

You have probably already heard Silvio Santos talking to his director: “Oh, Fabiano!” However, although many recognize the voice, they do not know what he is physically like. Fabiano Wicher is the man behind so many successes on SBT, such as Domingo Legal, Programa Silvio Santos and Sabadão.

This time, success is in the family. One of the most watched programs on RedeTV!, A Tarde é Sua, directed by Sonia Abrão, is directed by the presenter’s brother: Elias Abrão. In fact, it doesn’t even take much attention to notice the similarity between the two television giants.

Returning to SBT, another case that continues in the family is the program by presenter Raul Gil. After being on the air for decades, the communicator has established itself in Brazilian homes with its catchphrases, paintings and unique charisma. And who is behind, directing all the success of this television legend, is his own son: Raul Gil Júnior.

Still in the family, another dynamic duo between father presenter and son director takes place in the most traditional comedy show on Brazilian television: A Praça É Nossa. Initially, the program was premiered by Manuel de Nóbrega, leading to Praça da Alegria. Over the years, his son, Carlos Alberto, took over the attraction, and history will probably repeat itself — with the handing over of the “baton” to Marcelo de Nóbrega.

Despite this possible cycle, Carlos Alberto de Nóbrega has already revealed in an interview, in Conversa com Bial, that he would not like to see his son in his place: “I don’t want him to go through what I went through”.

One of the highlights of the article is João Mesquita. Despite being very young, he directs one of the main late-night shows on Brazilian television. The Night with Danilo Gentili is one of SBT’s successful attractions.

In addition, João started as an intern on the program Custe o que Custar (CQC), at Band, at the same time that Danilo was a reporter for the attraction. As time passed, fate brought them together again. By the way, another curiosity about the heartthrob director is that he is the son of presenter Otávio Mesquita.

Darling for Brazilians on Sunday afternoons, Eliana is one of the main names on television. In addition to charisma and unparalleled laughter, the blonde is directed by Ariel Jacobowitz. He is responsible for developing paintings, accompanying the audience, proposing guests and other ideas to brighten up the Sunday attraction.

For many years, Domingo Legal was directed by Roberto Manzoni – known as magrão. In addition, he is responsible for several successful attractions on television, such as the program Viva a Noite, which was presented by Gugu Liberato on SBT.

After directing the attraction É de Casa, director Alexandre Mattoso started to command the Meeting with Fátima Bernardes, on Rede Globo. Incidentally, he is another behind-the-scenes star of the global broadcaster, as he has been part of the broadcaster for over 20 years.
