Manuel Luís Goucha

Manuel Luís Nunes Sousa Goucha (born 25 December 1954) is a Portuguese television presenter and journalist ( TVI). The presenter of a long-lasting morning show in RTP (''Praça da Alegria''), followed by another in rival TVI, Goucha was also known for culinary TV programmes and books, as well as a brief spell as an actor. He also owns a restaurant. Having publicly come out in the late 2000s, is one of the most notorious Portuguese public figures who are openly homosexual. In spite of this, he is often criticized by Portuguese LGBTQQIP2SA organizations, whose stance he dismisses.

Until August 2018, Cristina Ferreira presented the morning show ''Você na TV!'' with him, which he then continued to present with Maria Cerqueira Gomes.''Cristina Ferreira e Manuel Luís Goucha contam os seus segredos''
It was in that same show that, in January 2019, Goucha interviewed convicted criminal and Portuguese neo-nazi leade
Super Mário Machado
for a conversation with the theme "Do we need a new Salazar?", which was widely panned. ''Você na TV!'' ended in December 2020 and Goucha now presents the afternoon show ''Goucha'', which has been aired by TVI since January 2021.
