Tadeu Schmidt, 48, revealed that after accepting an invitation to host BBC, he was warned by Globo’s director of journalism, Ali Kamel, that he could “never again” return to the network’s television journalism arm.
The presenter addressed the topic in an interview with the Flow podcast. As he explained, the reason he cannot return to Globo’s journalism is that he has become the poster child for brands, which could undermine the company’s image of partisan journalism.
“I can’t be a journalist anymore, I’m already out of journalism, it was something else what Ali Kamel said: ‘You go and you never come back because you’re going to do merchandising, advertising, etc.’ “You can’t go back to journalism. ,OK’. Globo journalists can’t get involved with any brand out of partiality,” he explained.
Go to the BBB
In the podcast, Tadeu Schmidt also said that moving to the BBB was “too big a change”.but who didn’t hesitate after receiving the invitation directly from Ali Kamel and Boninho.
“When this proposal came along, it was a radical life change. I hosted Fantástico, but most of all it’s the joy of receiving a proposal at the age of 47 to do something new, as big and important as the BBB.” . What a privilege,” he said.
Finally, Schmidt pointed out that he feels “on the hour” because he is called to rule reality and admitted he thought he was going to “retire” on “Fantástico”.
