His popularity was so great in the city that in 1992, aged 24, he was elected councilor with one of the highest votes in the municipality.
Career Portiolli's dream has always been to appear on the small screen. Therefore, in 1993, he sent a tape to Silvio Santos, with hidden camera suggestions for Topa Tudo por Dinheiro. Of the 11 ideas he sent, 7 were approved, which aroused the interest of Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão, which soon invited him to work as a writer for the program.
Later, in April 1996, the opportunity arose to present Passa ou Repassa, replacing Angélica, who moved to Rede Globo. The attraction remained on the air until 1998 and returned to the grid a year later until 2000. In 2001, Celso presented other programs, such as Tempo de Alegria, Xaveco and Fantasia. The following year, came one of his biggest hits, Curtindo uma Viagem, the audience leader in 2002. In 2003, he led a reality show called O Conquistador do Fim do Mundo.
