Sem Censura (lit.'Uncensored') is a Brazilian talk show broadcast by TV Brasil since July 1, 1985. It was conceived by journalist Fernando Barbosa Lima during a time when the country, after two decades of military dictatorship, was beginning its political opening. Currently, it is hosted by actress and presenter Cissa Guimarães,[1] with Bruno Barros as general director.

History

The talk show Sem Censura premiered on July 1, 1985 on Rio de Janeiro's TV Educativa, later incorporated into TV Brasil. Launched during Brazil's political reopening period, the program was initially hosted by journalist Tetê Muniz.[2] Throughout its history, the show underwent several phases with different presenters, including Leda Nagle who hosted for twenty years.

In 2019, the broadcaster temporarily suspended the program, a decision that was reversed following public response.[3] Between 2020 and 2024, the show experienced format and team changes, including relocation to Brasília and São Paulo for a period.[4] Currently produced in Rio de Janeiro and hosted by Cissa Guimarães, it maintains the debate format that characterized its trajectory.[1]
