William Bonner has anchored Jornal Nacional, Globo's flagship evening news programme, since 1996, and his closing boa noite became one of the most recognisable sounds on Brazilian television. Clips of the greeting later spread online as a reaction audio, shared in WhatsApp groups and meme edits far beyond the news context. Because almost every Brazilian viewer grew up hearing that farewell nightly, a short recording instantly carries authority and nostalgia, which helps explain why the clip is still reused decades into his tenure.

William Bonner saying boa noite, the famous Jornal Nacional sign-off from Brazilian TV, used as a meme to end chats, videos and conversations.
This clip captures William Bonner delivering his signature boa noite greeting in the calm, formal tone Brazilians know from the end of Jornal Nacional. The delivery is slow, deep and unmistakably serious, which is exactly why it feels so funny when dropped into casual chats or silly edits. A simple good night becomes a dramatic closing line, signalling that the conversation is officially over. The contrast between the gravitas of a national news anchor and an everyday farewell gives the sound its lasting comic effect on viewers.
