What is the first image that comes to your mind when you think of journalists?! Have you ever heard a Jornal Nacional-style “good evening” or can you imagine any other situation when you talk about journalism?

Of course, there are many areas to work in as a journalist , but we cannot forget that we have a pre-established image in our minds of how we think of this information professional. Along with this image there is also a certain shock when seeing a journalist doing something different from the conventional.

The path from journalism to entertainment

There is no shortage of examples of names that went from journalistic topics to entertainment: Fátima Bernardes, Tiago Leifert, Patrícia Poeta, among others. Some of these changes generated a lot of talk on social media, after all, who doesn't remember all the “controversy” from the end of TV Globinho to the birth of Encontro com Fátima?

From covering sports, politics, years on the bench at one of the biggest newspapers in the country, to hosting a morning show. This is how Fátima Bernardes shocked an entire nation: from good night to good morning and also starring in advertising campaigns on the small screen. 

But these are not the only cases of journalists who surprised the public, want to know some more? Check out the list below:

Evaristo Costa

The presenter became famous for his irreverent and humorous tone, uncle jokes to be more exact, on Jornal Hoje. Alongside Sandra Annenberg, they formed a duo that left many people missing after the announcement of their departure to spend a sabbatical. Away from his work as a journalist, Evaristo ensured his presence and contact with the public through social media, mainly Twitter. 

Ana Paula Padrão

For many, it must be a little strange to remember that the Masterchef presenter has already been on newsstands at several broadcasters. The journalist and presenter has already been in charge of Jornal da Globo, Jornal do SBT and Jornal da Record. His move to another channel brought an even bigger change of scenery, which was when the countdown to the delivery of dishes entered his career once and for all. 

Renata Ceribelli

The journalist surprised many people in recent days after appearing dressed as a brigadier on the stage of the reality show The Masked Singer Brasil. If there's one thing that no one imagined, it's that behind that costume was a journalist who escaped a lion attack in one of her stories on the Globo screen.

Tadeu Schmidt

If you take the time to analyze it calmly, the journalist's fun tone could already be a tip for this career change. But it is very likely that the news that the sports journalist will be the new presenter of Big Brother Brasil took many viewers by surprise! Soon the Fantástico horses will have a new company to narrate the rounds of Brazilian football.
