Faustão Returns to Globo in Interview with Conversa com Bial
Veteran Host Discusses Health and Organ Donation After Five-Year Hiatus
Faustão will return to Globo on September 15th, in an interview with Conversa com Bial. The veteran host, who left the broadcaster in 2021, will be interviewed by Pedro Bial, who will discuss the presenter's health and the culture of organ donation.
What Has Changed in the TV Landscape
In 2021, Fausto Silva's departure from Globo marked the end of over three decades of leading Domingão do Faustão. The broadcaster took the show off the air earlier than planned, without a public farewell. At Band, the presenter hosted Faustão na Band, which premiered in 2022 and failed to replicate Globo's audience performance, leading to the show's cancellation in 2023.
The Interview's Focus
The interview, confirmed by Silva's press office, will address the presenter's health struggles. In two years, Fausto Silva underwent four organ transplants: one heart, two kidneys, and one liver. He will be joined in the conversation by surgeon Fábio Gaiotto, who led the heart transplant team, and cardiologist Fernando Bacal.
Organ Donation on the Agenda
During the interview, Fausto Silva's family will become activists for the culture of organ donation. The presenter and his family members will speak about the importance of donation, a topic that gained prominence after the experiences lived by the communicator.
Other Meetings and Tributes
In 2024, Fausto Silva received an invitation from Luciano Huck to participate in a tribute on Domingão. The presenter thanked the proposal but said he did not yet feel ready to return to the stage of the show he hosted for over 30 years. In 2024, he also returned to Globo in an interview with Fantástico, where he paid tribute to Silvio Santos, who passed away that same year.
Sporadic Appearances
Despite being away from television programs, Fausto Silva continued to make punctual appearances in tributes and attractions related to his son, João Silva. He sent messages to Programa do João and Domingão, praising his heir.
