Early life
Soares was born in Rio de Janeiro. After being educated in Switzerland and United States, Soares returned to Rio in 1958.
Career
Soares's television career began at TV Rio in 1958, writing and performing in comedy shows for the station. In 1970, he began work at Rede Globo. Soares moved to SBT, in 1988, as the host of Jô Soares at Eleven Thirty (Portuguese: Jô Soares Onze e Meia), which aired until 1999. In 2000, Soares took his show's format (very similar to David Letterman's) back to Rede Globo, where it was then called Programa do Jô, which ran until 2016.
His first novel O Xangô de Baker Street was published in 1995 and has been translated in several languages; it was made into a film in 2001. He has put out various jazz CDs. He has also produced many plays including a recent version of Richard III.
Personal life
Jô Soares was a Roman Catholic. He expressed devotion to Rita of Cascia.[3]
