Show do Tom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Show do Tom is a brazilian comedy and talk show aired by Rede Record that premiered on September 27, 2004, and currently aires on Sundays at 5 PM.
[edit] History
Tom Cavalcante (host) left Rede Globo in July, 2004. In the same year, he started a solo progam on Rede Record. Directed by Vildomar Batista, this progam obtained 10 points in IBOPE.
Since he was forbidden by justice of presenting the same numbers he used at Rede Globo, he began to do sketches of big produtions such as O Aprendiz, hosted by Roberto Justus in Brazil. The principal comedic style of the show is improvisational comedy, with emphasis on local talents (or sometimes local street figures) or well-known celebrities. Humourists such as Tiririca and Pedro Manso were hired for the show.
