New section of article[edit]

He is the youngest son of Danilo Gentili and is of Italian descent. His grandfather, Ulderico Gentili, was a church painter who escaped from Italy to São Paulo, Brazil during World War II.

Proposing that this be moved to a new ancestry and heritage section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnUnnamedUser (talk • contribs) 15:51, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source? – Reidgreg (talk) 14:00, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reference improvement[edit]

There are a lot of sources in the Portuguese article pt:Danilo Gentili which could probably be used but I can't scrutinize them to tell which are blogs or primary sources (e.g.: run by networks, publishers, or clubs associated with the subject) and which are reliable secondary sources.

Also, I took out the International coverage section. It doesn't make sense on its own, but some quotes might be included in relevant parts of the text after being verified and sources checked. I have preserved it in the collapse box below. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:44, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

International coverage

The New York Times – In 2011 Danilo Gentili was mentioned in The New York Times for his comedy work in Brazil. About him, The New York Times wrote:

"Supplying Brazil's Laugh Track" - With his baby face, boyish manner and goofy laugh, Mr. Gentili, 32, is the infant terrible of comedy in Brazil. He has built his reputation on a willingness to ask celebrities — and especially politicians — questions that are considered embarrassing, outrageous or disrespectful. Recently he also got himself into trouble with a Twitter post that enraged Jewish community leaders in São Paulo. Even so, in June he became host of a late-night talk show on a national network and the big question now is: Will that format succeed in taming him? So far, the answer is no.[1]

"A Brazilian's Comic Mania: Social Media" - Danilo Gentili, partner of a comedy club, has more than a touch of Bill Maher in him, as shown by a DVD called "Politicamente Incorreto." "We're not considered artists, we're compared to punk rockers playing in the garage to see what happens, and I'm fine with that," said Mr. Gentili, 32, who has just been given a late-night talk show on the Bandeirantes network.[2]

The Guardian - The UK newspaper cited Danilo Gentili in two articles. He was compared with Bill Maher (in 2011) and Jon Stewart (in 2012).

"Brazil's stand-up comics lead social revolution against powerful elites" - Danilo Gentili comedy also drew attention of England's leading newspaper, The Guardian. In Tom Phillips's article, Gentili is named a comedian that leads a revolution "a highly controversial but also wildly popular comedian who is blazing a trail for stand-up comedy in South America's largest nation, is a man who enjoys living on the edge."

The newspaper has highlighted the following of Mr. Gentili: "We earn money this way. If people get on TV they'll earn more money, even better. But if they don't, damn it. This will keep happening. So they don't owe allegiance to anyone.",

"Anywhere in the world people understand that the role of the comedian is to crack jokes. One day they'll understand it in Brazil, too, I hope," he said.[3]

"... With his stubble, baseball cap and habitual bleary-eyed look, he's like a shabbier version of The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. His approach isn't always subtle, sometimes abusing the powers that be in terms that would make Frankie Boyle blanch – as when he suggested the Brazilian president, a former victim of brutal state torture, had brought it upon herself – but it's won him a considerable domestic following among those who find his uncompromising style a breath of fresh air."[4]

Manager Magazin - Gentili was once again mentioned in an international article. After the British The Guardian[3] and American The New York Times,[2] now it is German Manager Magazin – a business magazine from the Der Spiegel group, one of the most important ones in Germany – who mentions the Brazilian comedian.

In the article, that brings to attention the advances of Brazilian technology, Gentili is presented as an influential comedian online, with more than 2 million Twitter followers.[5]

Prospect magazine - Gentili made the headline of another British article, this time Prospect magazine compares the Brazilian comedian with Jon Stewart and stats that Gentili is helping Brazil match economic weight with cultural clout.[6]

Forbes magazine - Forbes magazine add Danilo Gentili on their list of "Names you Need to Know". With a brief history on the comedians and a Q&A, the magazine highlights Danilo as the country's latest comic phenomenon. [7]

The same magazine, in November 2014, named the show "The Noite com Danilo Gentili" as 'Brazil's top rated late-night talk-show'.[8]

Political views

Danilo is associated with the defense of individual freedom and against any kind of authority, including state. He satirizes Brazilian political system and the uncommitted politically biased.

One of his most famous works Politicamente Incorreto" was the first stand-up comedy show 100% based on the actual political scenario in Brazil.[9]

  • "It's easy to identify who is against you. He always appears defending the establishment.
  • "Brasília is a first class city. It's just like Las Vegas. It was raised in the middle of a desert for those who seek easy money".
  • "Vote is a mass destruction weapon; all it takes is a button click to f#%! everyone".
  • "In a country where there is a culturally nice profit with lies, the truth is unfunny".
