Sábado Gigante premiered in 1962, but I couldn’t verify a specific start date for the show’s Skype game segment from the sources available here.

What I could confirm

  • The show itself began in 1962.
  • Later in its run, it included a mix of games, interviews, music, and audience participation.

About the Skype games

The sources I found do not clearly state when the Skype-based games first appeared, so I can’t give you a reliable year without guessing.

Most likely answer

Based on the show’s later-era format, the Skype games were likely added in its more modern years, not near the beginning, but I can’t pin down the exact launch date from verified material here.

TL;DR: Sábado Gigante started in 1962, and the Skype games were a later addition, but the exact start date isn’t confirmed in the sources I found.
