Carlos Coutinho Vilhena was at the “Happy House”, SIC, to talk about “No Papers for Old People”, the project that has actor José Eduardo as protagonist and that led him to debut at stand-up.
In the morning program of SIC gathered several people close to José Eduardo, but the big surprise was for the end. Carlos Coutinho Vilhena decided to play a prank on his colleague and friend Carlos Happy, who was also at the “Happy House” to face the project “No Papers for Old People”.
The humorist led to the show a fake grandmother of Happy Carlos, and neither did SIC know what was going on and that everything was just a prank. By the way, no one discovered anything until Coutinho Vilhena revealed now that everything was just a joke.
This Monday, October 12, Carlos Coutinho Vilhena published a video on his Instagram page where he reveals everything and shares all the details of this match that he preached to his friend, the presenters, the production of the “Happy House” and the others who were present.
“I had an idea that might give shit, but it’s hilarious. We were invited to go to the program of João Baião and Diana Chaves [hosts of the Happy House] in the morning, live. And if we hired a lady to play his grandmother, neither the Happy knows, nor the SIC ", started by explaining in the video that he has now published on the social network.
“ We tell the production of the program that they have not seen each other for many years. João Baião says he looks at that door, and a lady comes in who says she is the Happy's grandmother. Happy will panic. I want to see his face there,” he added.
However, Carlos Coutinho Vilhena showed the selection process to choose Carlos Contente's fake grandmother, having resorted to an agency. After contact had been made, the humorist chose a person who was not physically like Happy, and with a carioca accent, which became for a few minutes.
Carlos Coutinho Vilhena even created, through Artificial Intelligence, a false photograph of his supposed grandmother with Carlos Happy as a child and sent the image to the production team of the “Happy House”.
The program took place and at some point, before they finished, João Baião called Alice Contente, supposedly to surprise Carlos Contente, and lined up in the game, without anyone knowing that it was a game, by the way, neither the Contente itself knew what was going to happen. And nobody ever said it was all fake. Look here this moment.
After sharing the video where he reveals everything that happened, and apologizes to presenters João Baião and Diana Chaves for being deceived, Carlos Coutinho Vilhena received several reactions, among them from well-known faces.
