The success of “Show do Milhão”, led by Silvio Santos, in the early 2000s is undeniable. Thousands of Brazilians stopped by to answer questions posed by the presenter and test their knowledge, whether they were watching the show live, or playing board and computer games. For those feeling nostalgic, a new “Show do Milhão” show kicks off this Friday, led by Celso Portioli, at 23:15, on SBT.

“This program is part of the Brazilian family. I see people playing the game live, making it live. People love the competition program, even more so with a great prize. It’s a program that is in the emotional memory of the Brazilian people. Anyone who doesn’t know will fall in love. It’s good “It’s very nice to be involved in. It’s even better to watch,” says Presenter Celso Portioli.

And if in 12 years the world has changed, then the program has also undergone some modifications, but while preserving its essence. In partnership with Pic Pay, the new “Show do Milhão” program continues with the question-and-answer format, in which the participant must answer 16 questions and can count on four types of help: cards, boards, college students and jumps. The main difference lies in the way you participate. From any amount over R$50 paid through the app, the person generates a number that can be withdrawn to go into the program.

Without Silvio Santos
One of the most important changes in the return of the show is the change of presenter. Replacing Silvio Santos is no easy feat, but Celso ensures that it gets out of hand. “It’s an emotion. I’ve always been a viewer of Show do Milhão and when Pelego (director) called me, the first question I asked him was: ‘But is Silvio (Santos) aware of that?’ He said, “Of course it was his choice.” I was very honored. I was worried too,” notes Celso, who also spoke of the emotion of the moment:

“When you live, you don’t really feel what’s going on. For me, it’s a job like any other. Presenting this program is a dream of building a career. I’ve always dreamed. I started behind the camera and then progressed. I’ve done small, medium and large programs. I’ve already replaced the presenter.” I feel like this is the career that takes place. SBT knows that when you need it you can count on me When they give me the program they know I will have a great deal of dedication to achieve results I don’t feel any difference between the programs The responsibility to me is the same I face it all With great difficulty, because I know it is not easy to do, but also with great love. ”
