Programa Silvio Santos is a Brazilian variety program presented and created by Silvio Santos and broadcast by Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão (SBT). Airing from June 2, 1963, it is the second oldest television program in Brazil. It is the main attraction of SBT on Sundays. The program airs from 20:00 until midnight. It is best known as a program of sequential segments, game shows, pranks[5] and its famous airplanes of money.[6]
In 1993, the program was even awarded the title of "Oldest Program of the Brazilian TV" by Guinness World Records, shortly after losing the title to the Mosaico na TV, broadcast since July 16, 1961.[7]
In 2015, the program's 'Câmera Escondida' segment with a clown pieing shoppers on a mall escalator went viral internationally, particularly through Twitter. This led many online to question its legitimacy as to whether the show used paid actors, or random members of the public. Contestant Lucas Nogueira confirmed that the shoppers were paid actors, and said they were told to walk around the mall for a comedy show, and were told that something would happen to them, but were not told exactly what.[8]
