Silvio Santos (real name Senor Abravanel, born on December 12, 1930) is a Brazilian TV show host and entrepreneur. He is the owner of SBT, the third largest television network in the country.

Santos was born in Rio de Janeiro, in the Lapa region. He is of Sephardi Jewish descent and was born to a Turkish mother and a Greek father. Despite his humble beginnings, working as a street vendor, he had a strong affinity for artistic endeavors and took up jobs on the radio, circus and television.

He became the major TV host in Brazil. His greatest achievement was founding SBT in 1981, where he still hosts various programs. His business, Grupo Sílvio Santos (GSS), also owns agribusiness ventures and hotels. He is the single biggest taxpayer natural person in Brazil. Additionally, Santos is known as a benefactor of the Jewish community.

He has influenced Brazilian television in many ways, particularly by producing local versions of popular international formats such as Celebrity Big Brother, Candid Camera, The Biggest Loser, Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud, Deal or No Deal, the RTL Idols franchise, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. He also was the host of Show do Milhão, a game show also broadcast by ITV in England. The show received was later ported to some videogames, as SEGA Mega Drive 3, with the game built-in, manufactured by Brazilian SEGA's distributor Tectoy, and for Microsoft Windows (with his original dubbing).

Ronaldo Lindenberg von Schilgem Cintra Nogueira (born July 17, 1944, Niterói, Rio de Janeiro), known by his artistic name Ronnie Von, is a Brazilian singer and television show host.

He became known in the 1960s associated with the Jovem Guarda. Ronnie Von currently presents a show called Todo Seu for the Gazeta channel.

Some of his greater successes include the hits Meu Bem - a Portuguese version of The Beatles' Girl - and A Praça. He quickly earned the nickname Príncipe, or Prince, after participating in an interview with Hebe Camargo. Ronnie started hosting his own television program in 1966, O Pequeno Mundo de Ronnie Von. Os Mutantes became a regular guest band on the show. Besides opening the door for the band mutants, Ronnie Von left with Gilberto Gil and Caetano appear on the show regularly (began, Tropicalism). During this period, the press tried to create a supposed rivalry between him and Roberto Carlos.

In 1968, he released a self-titled album that broke from the naïveté of the movement and ventured in more psychedelic and experimental sounds. Following this release came A Misteriosa Luta do Reino de Parassempre contra o império de Nuncamais (1969) and A Máquina Voadora (1970). Though it did not meet with much success, today Ronnie's experimental work is being rediscovered by a new generation of rock listeners, rendering him a high degree of underground cult status.
