The show replaced Globo's longtime children's show "TV Globinho", which aired animated series such as SpongeBob SquarePants (1999). The new show acknowledged "complaints" from the Internet over this change, when co-host Lair Rennó asked Fátima Bernardes is SpongeBob would ever return and she answered, "no".
40-year-old Humberto Maços Guimarães suffered a heart attack and died during an interview for actor and comedian Marcius Melhem for this show. The interview was shelved on Melhem's request.
The title host is very often absent from the show, which is renamed "Encontro". For the first occasion in which she had to leave on vacation, journalist Sandra Annenberg was considered to replace her but was turned down by director Boninho. He favored his wife, Ana Furtado.
Comedian Victor Sarro was fired by host Fátima Bernardes herself. According to Sarro, he was not considered funny enough, although Bernardes "doesn't find anything funny at all".
