[2][3] In October 1997, Faustão was overtaken in the ratings by another competitor on SBT, Gugu's Domingo Legal; both shows accounted for a total of 60% of Brazilian television viewership on Sundays.

[4][5][6][7] From 1991 to 1997, Silva also presented a New Year's Eve special for Globo as a spin-off of Domingão, Réveillon do Faustão; it was replaced by the Show da Virada.

[12] On June 13, 2021, Silva missed an episode of Domingão for the first time for medical reasons (citing a urinary tract infection), with Tiago Leifert filling in as guest host.

[13] On June 17, Globo announced that Silva had left the network after 35 years, and that Domingão would be succeeded by a new program hosted by Luciano Huck.

[20] Based on the Spanish format Your Face Sounds Familiar, the series features celebrities performing as randomly-selected musicians.

According to IBOPE, some affiliated stations SBT recorded 60 rating points during program airing, an easy win for Globo.

[64] However, some years later, the rival program would lose popularity, after displaying a false report in which alleged members of the PCC threatened the death of some of Brazil's media personalities.

Gugu, who moved to TV Record a year earlier, began broadcasting its program in the new station simultaneously, and performed well in the ratings, and beat Fausto several times.
