Domingão com Huck

In June 2021, after Fausto Silva left the network and signed with Rede Bandeirantes (where he would host the new show Faustão na Band in 2022),[1][2][3] Globo announced that Luciano Huck—who had hosted the variety show Caldeirão do Huck for the network since 2000—would host a new Sunday-afternoon variety show in September 2021 to replace the long-running Domingão do Faustão.[4][5] Domingão com Huck premiered on September 5, 2021.[6][7] Meanwhile, Marcos Mion would succeed Huck on Caldeirão, which premiered the day prior.[8][9]

The November 7, 2021 episode featured a tribute to sertanejo singer Marília Mendonça, who had died in a plane crash earlier that week.[10] Huck faced criticism for remarks that were interpreted as shaming thin bodies, including saying that he had seen "half" of Marília, Maiara, and Maraísa in concert. He also discussed his survival of a plane crash with his family in 2015, which some viewers criticized as egocentric.[11][12] Huck apologized the following week, saying that he immediately regretted the joke and believed that people should not be judged on their appearance.[13]

Some of the major game show and reality competition segments seen on Domingão com Huck have been carried over from Faustão and Caldeirão, including Dança dos Famosos,[14] Show dos Famosos,[6] Soletrando,[6] Quem quer ser um milionário?,[6] and The Wall.[6][15] Globo's annual Melhores do Ano presentation also moved to the program from Faustão.[16]

New segments have also been produced for the series, including Acredite Em Quem Quiser[17] and Lip Sync Battle.[18]
