Herman José is one of the most solid names in comedy in Portugal. For decades, his name was almost a synonymous of humor. He went through more than one TV channel and, in all of them, he had several shows, ranging from comedy to entertainment, talk shows or other formats in which he was host. Many people like him, many others do not like him, but the truth is that Herman José is one of the oldest and most consecrated names in national TV entertainment. Of all his TV works, "Herman Enciclopedia" should be one of the most striking and notable. Here were born some of his most famous characters such as Lauro Dérmio, Melga or the iconic Diácono Remédios. Nowadays, this program is somewhat forgotten, partly due to the disgrace of Herman José himself, who lost strength with the rise of a new and fresh generation of comedians. However, it continues to be interesting and to take place in the great humor TV shows of the nineties.
