O Maior Brasileiro de Todos os Tempos (English: The Greatest Brazilian of All Time) was a public poll contest organized by the Brazilian broadcasting station SBT and hosted by Carlos Nascimento to rank the most outstanding Brazilian personalities.[2] Based on BBC's 100 Greatest Britons, it featured individual documentaries advocating the top ten candidates.
