Antônio Augusto de Moraes Liberato (10 April 1959 – 21 November 2019), better known as Gugu Liberato or simply Gugu, was a Brazilian television presenter, entrepreneur, actor and singer.[1]
Early life
Liberato was born in
Career
Liberato began studying
After the success of the musical group
In August 1987, at the height of the success of
Liberato debuted on SBT on Sundays on 17 April 1988,[10] hosting alone programs like Passa ou Repassa and Cidade Contra Cidade. Gugu also co-hosted Roletrando with Santos.[6]
Rede Globo, however, had already created a program for Gugu, and the program was ready but without a host. Rede Globo hired hastily Fausto Silva, who ran the Saturday late night show Perdidos na Noite (Lost in the Night) at TV Bandeirantes. So the show Domingão do Faustão started, by chance, on Sunday afternoons at Rede Globo, filling a schedule previously occupied by American TV series.[11]
Even though Gugu was responsible for part of the Sunday programming, he remained anchoring shows on Saturday night, especially musical programs like Sabadão Sertanejo. The greatest success, however, came with the show Domingo Legal, which competed with Domingão do Faustão, ironically a program created to be his. The competition in the late 1990s was for a long period favorable to Gugu, which ended the decade with peaks above 40 rating points.[11][12]
Personal life and death
Liberato had a domestic partnership with physician Rose Miriam di Matteo, with whom he had three children.[13]
On 20 November 2019, Liberato suffered an accident at his home in Windermere,[14] Greater Orlando, while trying to change the filter on his home's air conditioner; he fell from the roof of his home and hit his head. He was admitted to Orlando Health and it was reported that his condition was critical.[15][16] Rumors of his death were initially denied,[17] but on 22 November, it was confirmed that Liberato had died.[18]
