But the impressive strength of the internet caused it to laugh out Brazil in 2016, when he starred in a skit with Xuxa Meneghel in the back door.

In the video, which accumulates 24 million views, she plays Jessica, a unlocked fan who does not recognize Xuxa and treats her with disdain when visited by the host at her home. It was a success, followed by other memorable moments with the humorists.

Thati says that leaving the channel was a natural movement. “Just as Globo is doing, we no longer have a fixed contract and we come back to do the work by work. In the door the recording scheme worked twice a week with three daily recordings. It was not pulled, so much so that I could reconcile with other work . “

The actress says that, although she has become nationally known to make people laugh, she is an actress and can face any role. “I like to be in different places. I love to explore everything I know, whether in drama, in musicals, in whatever comes. What I want are different opportunities, new challenges. Being being always amazing.”
