Luciano Callegari, 86 years old, former head of SBT and best friend of Silvio Santos (1930-2024), does not consider the management of the Homem do Baú heiresses to be a winning one. For him, “the lack of experience and selfishness are what dictate the future of the station” and this was already evident before Silvio’s death.

“Silvio did not need to die to let us know what the path of SBT will be. Since Silvio stopped participating and his daughters and Iris have led the company, we have seen that lack of experience and ego are what dictate the path of SBT today. SBT. Unfortunately, SBT has stopped being vice-leader at an alarming speed, and the reverse path is much more difficult,” he said in an interview with Folha journalist Mônica Bergamo. “I think there has to be a balance between the brand set by Silvio and modernization. Modernization does not mean destroying the DNA of the company. It is sad to see the path that SBT is taking.”
Callegari and Silvio Santo have worked together for more than 40 years, from when the communicator performed in circuses, then through the creation of SBT and until the late 1990s. During this time, the two became very close friends, spending hours discussing executive decisions and how best to conduct and organize the channel’s programming.
“It just happened. [o sucesso] because we talked on average ten hours a day. There was no ego involved [entre] him and I. We talked for hours about the best talent for programming and what should be done. We were close, in fact, being able to tell each other everything, without any kind of worry, helped in the development of the station. The passion we have for television was reflected in the audience.”

In the last years of life Silvio Santo took on a more solitary attitude. I spoke to a few friends and didn’t like going out. Shortly after the covid-19 pandemic, the presenter received a visit from Callegari at home. THE former SBT bigwig and his family were invited to dinner at the Abravanel villa in São Paulo. The meeting reportedly had a farewell tone, but was not the topic of the evening.
“[Ele não estava bem de saúde]I felt like he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t. What was recorded [na minha memória] It’s just that as I was leaving he called me into another room and asked if I needed anything. That was the last time I spoke to my friend,” he recalled.
Luciano Callegari He also said that his greatest treasure, besides being Silvio Santos’ best friend, was that their families have harmoniously united over the years, which has made the affection between the two more vital.
“My greatest satisfaction was not being Silvio’s best friend, as he said several times. But it was seeing that our families also got along. Anna [mulher de Callegari, já falecida] and Iris always got along very well, we traveled a lot together on vacation in Florida, and my children [Luciano Jr., Mauro, Rodrigo e Rogério] and the girls [filhas de Silvio] They always got along really well too. We were a family like on TV.”
