Biography[link]

CQC[link]

After a few appearances on TV, he was invited to participate in comedy TV show called Custe o que Custar (CQC), on TV Bandeirantes. On his “audition”, which was actually his first interview, he left the singer Agnaldo Timóteo on an awkward situation with all his nonsense questions. That interview paid off. It was a big success. What was supposed to be a temporary job, turned out to be his great starting point on TV.

The show became famous due to “Inexperienced Reporter” (Reporter Inexperiente), a part of the show where Danilo pretended to be a newbie interviewing guests and asking them all kinds of nonsense questions. After a while he started doing more than that on the show. So he stood out on CQC interviewing people all over, especially about politics. At the Congress he became that reporter that every politician was afraid of. They tried to avoid being ridiculed when faced with his questions and being confronted with truths (which the viewers themselves would like to do so).

During the CQC Season of 2010/2011, Danilo Gentili was conducting segments on the show called “Protest Now” and "National Identity".

On the last episode of the 2011 season, Danilo said his goodbye to the show so he could dedicate 100% of himself to his new project, the talk show "Agora é Tarde". At the occasion, he was honored by the show, which he was a part of for 4 seasons.

His main opponent, not directly in the format Jô Soares is a "dinosaur of the tv" as he says in his acid comments during their show. The dispute of late nights in Brazil begins to reassemble the remote battle between David Letterman and Jay Leno on American TV, Danilo and Jô often indirect attack each other in shows where they are asked and that they have improved the quality of shows and interest in being interviewed Brazilian celebrities. Danilo often says that Jô did not invent the format and that his opponent got settled for decades because he didn't have any competition. The media still doubter the politically incorrect boy of possibly becoming one of the biggest interviewers in Latin America.

Recently he also got himself into trouble with a Twitter post that enraged Jewish community leaders in São Paulo.
