O Maior Brasileiro de Todos os Tempos
O Maior Brasileiro de Todos os Tempos was a public poll contest organized by the Brazilian broadcasting station SBT and hosted by Carlos Nascimento to rank the most outstanding Brazilian personalities. Based on BBC's 100 Greatest Britons, it featured individual documentaries advocating the top ten candidates.
After three months of voting and more than a million votes recorded, one hundred persons were selected, appointed by the thousands of Brazilians.
The final episode aired on October 3, 2012. Chico Xavier was elected the greatest Brazilian of all time.
