In a recent interview, Marcelo de Nóbrega, the director of the humorous TV show 'A Praça é Nossa' and son of the show's host, Carlos Alberto de Nóbrega, announced his plans to succeed his father as host when Carlos decides to retire. Marcelo stated, 'The day he thinks he should stop, I will continue presenting in his place. This is his will, my will, and the will of the Brazilian audience as well.' His comments reflect a deep respect for his father's legacy in Brazilian television.

Additionally, Marcelo discussed the show's enduring success despite stiff competition from rival networks, specifically Globo, which has consistently attempted to outperform 'A Praça é Nossa' in audience ratings. He noted, 'The efforts made by Globo to overshadow us due to our viewership... 'A Praça' has been very bothersome for them. They have tried replacing us with all sorts of programs but have failed to dislodge us until today.' This statement highlights the program's significant cultural impact and popularity in Brazil.

Having directed the show for 25 years, Marcelo recalled a time when he temporarily hosted segments of 'A Praça é Nossa' while Carlos Alberto was on a brief health-related hiatus. He found it challenging to assume the role but noted the importance of continuity and family in maintaining the show's legacy. This sentiment resonates with fans and indicates a smooth generational transition for the beloved program in Brazilian entertainment.
