Conception

edit

The program began in a special made by TV Globo in 2006 but came to prominence in 2010 when he won a fixed time in the grid on Sunday. The program began with sketches, such that the best were chosen by the public for the creation of the first DVD of the duo. Result, there was the creation of a program of light and good taste, because it was not something forced, but a program with a script and with people who know what does. In 2010, the recognition came as the humorous Extra TV won the award for the best comedy shows, and the interpreters Leandro Hassum and Marcius Melhem also won awards for best comedians of the year, by Meus Prêmios Nick and the Melhores do Ano. In 2011, the program reached the pinnacle of success, winning the International Prize "Montreux Comedy Awards" in Switzerland.[1]
