Before being signed by Globo, Silva had achieved notoriety for hosting the talk show Perdidos na Noite on Band.
[4] On June 13, 2021, Silva missed an episode of Domingão for the first time in the program's history, stating that it was due to a urinary tract infection.
[5] On June 17, Globo announced that Silva would be leaving the network, and that Domingão do Faustão would be replaced in its timeslot by a new program hosted by Luciano Huck.
[16][17] At midnight on January 1, 2022, Band broadcast the New Year's special Viradão do Faustão as a preview for the show, which marked Silva's official return to the network.
[32] In July 2022, it was reported that Band was planning cuts to the program due to high production costs in relation to its viewership, including laying off 40 to 50 staff members, reducing its length from two hours to 90 minutes beginning August 23 (initially to accommodate party broadcasts for the 2022 general election), and moving to a bi- or tri-weekly schedule beginning in 2023.
[35][36] On September 12, it was reported that the 90-minute format would become permanent beginning October 31, as Band had acquired the Portuguese telenovela Valor da Vida to air in a 10:00 p.m.
[43] Ultimately, the final episode would instead air on July 7, after which the timeslot began to be occupied by reruns, and it was reported that Band was in talks with João and Anne on developing a new project.
[45][46] The series premiere of Faustão na Band received an average rating of 8.3 points, finishing in second behind only Globo in its timeslot.
[47][48] Its viewership declined by 25% in São Paulo on its subsequent episode,[49] while the first week of shows finished with an average rating of 6.2 points.
In the IBOPE national television panel, the show scored an average of 3.2 rating points in the same period, with its largest audiences being in the São Paulo, Porto Alegre, and Campinas markets.
