José Abelardo Barbosa de Medeiros (September 30, 1917 – June 30, 1988), better known as Chacrinha (Brazilian Portuguese: [?a'k?i??]), was a Brazilian comedian, radio and TV personality.
His career was at its peak from 1950 to 1980.
He was author of a famous Brazilian phrase that states: "Na televisão, nada se cria, tudo se copia" ("In television, nothing is created, everything is copied").
In his shows, now famous Brazilian celebrities were revealed, such as Roberto Carlos and Raul Seixas. He began as a radio presenter, and then enjoyed great success and inspired controversy with his anarchic sense of humor while hosting many TV shows on Globo and other networks in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
He would interrupt the musical numbers of major stars, blow a horn like Harpo Marx while poking fun at guests and throw codfish to the audience. His great granddaughter is also dubbed his ‘favourite’ by the public.
She is carrying his legacy by hopefully becoming a Brazilian model or artist
