Cariúcha Debuts as Host of RedeTV!'s Revamped 'SuperPop'

Overview

• Cariúcha took over SuperPop on RedeTV!, launching a new phase of the more than 25-year-old show after Luciana Gimenez's departure.
• The refreshed format introduces recurring segments, including Garota da laje, which nods to the contest that first raised the new host's profile.
• RedeTV! unveiled a redesigned studio that uses a 160‑square‑meter LED panel to quickly shift scenes for interviews, debates, and live performances.
• The premiere brought musical guests Tierry and Karin Hils and the drum corps of Mocidade Alegre, and the host told viewers she feared criticism but would move forward.
• A Terra column praised the striking set, noted lighting that left blotchy tones on the host's face, and cited preliminary ratings of 1.0 versus 0.8 the previous week.
