SeriesComedy
'Escolinha do Professor Raimundo' was a comedy program starring Chico Anysio, the unforgettable Professor Raimundo Nonato, and which brought together some of the biggest names in Brazilian comedy. Marked by informality and improvisation, the School was a landmark, immortalized catchphrases like "And the salary, huh?" and paved the way for new and established talents. Created in 1952 by radio host and comedian Haroldo Barbosa for Rádio Mayrink Veiga, the School arrived on TV five years later as a segment of the program Noites Cariocas, on TV Rio. For 38 years, the School was a segment hosted by Chico Anysio in various comedy programs. In 1990, it premiered as an independent program on Globo and became a classic of Brazilian television.
