Panicats

The Panicats were the stage assistants of the Brazilian comedy TV shows Pânico na TV and Pânico na Band. Over a period of 14 years since the show's debut in 2003, a total of 26 women occupied this position. Recognized as sex symbols, the Panicats appeared in small outfits during live TV programs and also recorded participations in segments and helped with reports. Cases of moral and sexual harassment and low pay gained media attention when some of the former Panicats publicly exposed the situations they experienced on the TV show.
The experience as Panicats provided several of these women with media visibility after leaving Pânico, including sensual essays in adult magazines, participation in reality shows and opportunities on other television shows.
