Chronology
Followed by Pânico na Band

Pânico na TV (English: Panic on TV) was a Brazilian comedy program shown on RedeTV! on Sundays. It's the television version of the original radio program called Pânico. After its debut on TV (September 28, 2003), the program has become famous throughout Brazil. The show is now broadcast by Rede Bandeirantes as Pânico na Band

The program Pânico on the Radio has existed since 1993 on Jovem Pan. The idea of doing a different program came about from the owner of the Jovem Pan radio station Antonio Augusto Amaral de Carvalho, known as Tuta. He thought about doing a radio program inspired by the American broadcaster Howard Stern, and thus created Pragrama Radio Panic, presented by Emilio Surita, Marcos Chiesa, Marcelo Baptista and Fernando Mello, 10 years later after its great success with the radio audience estimated at seventeen million listeners, divided among 749 municipalities, which created the program Pânico na TV.

Marcos Chiesa

A sarcastic and spiteful fat man, Bola ("Ball") is angry and violent. With Emilio, Bola was one of the founders of the group. Bola rarely imitates anyone but helps Sabrina with dangerous situations. He also has a tattoo on the back of his head of Bolinha with his thumbs up which he received on Hints with Marcos Chiesa. His real name is Marcos Chiesa.

Crew

Ceará

His real name is Wellington Muniz. Ceará does many impersonations. His "signature" is using fake teeth in every impersonation. His main character is an imitation of Brazilian TV host Sílvio Santos, who he has had on the show on a number of occasions, even asking him for permission to play the role. He always does his sketches with Rodrigo Scarpa.

Carioca

Real name Márvio Lúcio, Carioca is a character himself, besides being a very talented voice impersonator. A modern Don Juan, Carioca thinks he can make every kind of woman fall in love with him. A current joke on the show is that Carioca is gay and has hemorrhoids. In addition to his own character, Carioca plays multiple roles, such as "Serginho Gosma" (Serginho Groisman), Robaldo Ésperman (Brazilian stylist Ronaldo Ésper) and "Amaury Dumbo" (Amaury Junior). Carioca often dresses as a woman.

Daniel Zukerman

One of the new humourists hired for the show's third year, Zukerman plays "Xupla", an imitation of Brazilian singer Supla. Before playing "O Impostor", Zukerman went to night clubs as the "Xupla" character and kissed several ugly women. He currently plays "O Impostor" (The Impostor), where he almost always succeeds in completing "missions" assigned to him, such as crashing a large event or party, usually under some sort of disguise. Such events included him crashing politician José Dirceu's birthday party, bringing a cheap, chocolate cake with him and causing everyone at the party to sing happy birthday sooner than expected over the cheap, chocolate cake rather than the highly decorated birthday cake of the party. Other "missions" included giving one of his band's CDs to Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone, who was currently in Rio de Janeiro shooting his new film, taking a picture with celebrity Hebe Camargo, crashing Michael Jackson's funeral as well as crashing the Academy Awards.

Rodrigo Scarpa

Also known as Repórter Vesgo ("The Crosseyed Reporter"), Scarpa is a reporter who goes to celebrities' parties. Vesgo irritates every celebrity either by asking them about career flops or mocking their celebrity status, especially when talking to untalented people and wannabes and has been assaulted a number of times by those celebrities. His segment is the one that causes the most media-coverage and because of this, he is one of the most recognizable faces of the group.

Evandro Santo

One of the new humourists hired at the show's third year, Santo plays Christian Pior (a play on Christian Dior). A new rich, overly affected homosexual man who loves to mock poor people and thinks money and luxury are the best stuff in the world.

Marcelo Harada

When Vinicius Vieira left the show, the program started a contest to find the new "Gluglu" and Harada got the part. Harada has only one catchphrase: "Óiaaaaaaaaa!!!".

Charles Henrique
