Hélio de Alencar & Silvio Santos were the two MCs who presented 'Programa Manoel de Nóbrega' on PRG-9, Radio Nacional paulista; Radiolândia n.139, 1956. Silvio Santos who would become a TV personality in a few years learned all the ropes of this business during this time.

Manoel de Nóbrega (born on 18 February 1913, in Niteroy-RJ) with wife and Carlos Alberto, their only son (born on 12 March 1936). Manoel started at Radio Mayrink Veiga in 1931. He moved to São Paulo in 1944, and worked at Radio Cultura, Tupi, Piratininga moving then to Radio Nacional and TV Paulista, where he started 'Praça da Alegria' in 1957.
Carmen Veronica played the major role at 'Miss Campeonato' at TV Paulista. Gazeta Esportiva, 8 November 1957.
'Miss Campeonato' (Miss Championship) created by author-cum-journalist Sergio Porto aka Stanislau Ponte Preta went to air at Radio Mayrink Veiga in early 1957. Stanislau wrote a farce in which Rio de Janeiro's Football League teams were each represented as a male denizen of a boarding house in which there lived a single female young lady who was wooed by all.
Show girl Carmen Verônica, one of Brazil's most curvaceous ladies got the part of this beauty queen who lived with her mother (played by Raquel Martins) in such a boarding house. Missy would get a date with the winner of the week's rounds. At the end of the season Miss Championship would marry the bloke whose team won the year's championship.
The radio show became an instant hit in Rio and migrated to São Paulo less than 6 months later, opening at TV Paulista every Wednesday night. Comedians Borges de Barros as Corinthians F.C.; Ronaldo Golias as São Paulo F.C.; Chocolate as ... ; Daniel Guimarães as ... ; Farid Riskallah, Homem de Melo; Percival Ferreira; Manoel Inocêncio, Luís Pini, Walter Ribeiro dos Santos; Clayton Silva; Roberto Barreiros and Claudio Moreno among others who eventually came and went. Osmano Cardoso plays 'Seo' Falcolino the janitor.
'Miss Campeonato' ran for seven years until 1964, one year before TV Paulista would be sold out.

Carmen Verônica talks to Radiolandia: "Confesso-me encantada com a TV. Não é esta minha primeira experiência diante das câmeras. Fiz 2 programas tipo revista no Canal 3 (TV Tupi) susubstituindo Virgínia Lane, e tomei parte aqui mesmo na TV Paulista, em 'Sua Excelência em 26 Poses' ao lado de Silveira Sampaio. Mas considero esta minha estréia. Apesar de não eestar bem entrosada nos primeiros programas (é tão completamente diferente do meu gênero) agora já estou dentro da coisa..."
Tendo família em São Paulo, a bela 'vedette' de 'Miss Campeonato', aproveita suas viagens semanais para visitar os entes queridos. Adorando a vida do lar, Carmen Verônica havia desistido quase completamente da vida artística, quando foi chamada por Luis Vassalo, idealizador do 'Miss Campeonato' para fazer o papel aqui em São Paulo. "Aceitei porque gostei muito da ideia do Vassalo e do script de José Roberto Silveira".

'Radiolandia' of early 1957 reveals Borges de Barros as the great 1956 hope as a comedian. Having played the 'poor cousin' role for some time, Borges claims he's not from the Northeast as many thought but was born in Campo Grande-MT, the same hometown of Janio Quadros, São Paulo's governor and future President (1961).
Borges was both an actor and comedian having taken part in many 'Teledrama' plays: In 1955, he appeared in 'O corcunda', 'O final do conto', 'O casaco de peles', 'O pássaro na gaiola', 'O negrinho do pastoreio' and Domngos Olímpio's 'Luzia-homem'; in 1956 he was in 'Por quem os sinos dobram?' (For whom the bell tolls?), 'O falcão maltês' (Maltese falcon), 'Rua 21, Estação 37', 'Os proscritos de Poker Flav', Armando Fontes' 'Os Corumbas', Jorge Amado's 'Terras do sem fim', Lima Barreto's 'Clara dos Anjos' and 'O tempo de sua vida'.
In 1957, as his career as a comedian took off he appeared only in Goethe's 'Fausto'; in 1958, Borges was in 'O malandro', José Mauro de Vasconcelos' 'Arara vermelha' and Ranulfo Prata's 'Navios iluminados'; in 1959, Borges appeared in 'Lampião' and Aracy Rivera de Rezende's 'Semente amarga'.
Later on in the 1960s, having found he couldn't get as many acting parts as before Borges de Barros worked as a dubbing actor, having put Brazilian Portuguese in the lips of nefarious Dr. Zachary Smith of 'Lost in Space'.
