Sumario:The present article is the result of a research that analyses the communication discourse in humor television programs. Its object is the television show Custe o que custar, through which we seek to raise questions about humor’s role within journalism, the construction of humorous discourse in communication and its relationship with politics and the values transmitted as well as the validity of using humor in journalism. The event we analyze more closely is the alleged expulsion of reporters from Brazilian national congress and the repercussions of this action.
