Where did Urgant go from Channel 1? Reasons for the absence of the “Evening Urgant” program on Channel One

At the same time, speculation arose that Ivan Urgant might also leave the channel following his colleagues. Some time ago, information even appeared on the Internet that Urgant had actually decided to leave his position.

However, it turned out that rumors about leaving the channel were started by the TV presenter himself. The topic of his dismissal became the main topic in the new episode of the show “Evening Urgant”. Let's say right away that there will be no layoffs.

The Urgant program went on air for the first time the day before after a long holiday. The broadcast began with a news block, during which it was announced that Ivan Urgant was not moving to another channel. In particular, it was said that Ivan made a “scandalous decision” not to resign from Channel One following Andrei Malakhov.

In addition, during the show, Urgant called Malakhov’s dismissal “a great outcome,” comparing his colleague to Moses. “The outcome was when Andrei Malakhov brought along two more presenters. And this despite the fact that all the Jews seemed to remain on the channel,” the presenter joked.

The special guest of the “Evening Urgant” studio was Dmitry Borisov, because it was he who benefited from the dismissal of Andrei Malakhov. Now Borisov takes Malakhov’s place in the studio of the Channel One show “The Way They Say.”

As it turned out, rumors about Urgant’s departure from Channel One were started by himself. His dismissal, or rather “not dismissal,” became the main topic in the “Evening Urgant” show. The day before, the first episode of the program, returning from a long summer vacation, was aired. The program began with a news release in which it was announced that Urgant was not moving to another TV channel: Ivan made a “scandalous decision” not to resign from Channel One following Andrei Malakhov. It is worth noting that throughout the entire episode Ivan made jokes about Malakhov’s transition to Russia-1. Urgant called Andrei’s departure a “great outcome” and compared his colleague to Moses. “The outcome was when Andrei Malakhov brought two more presenters with him. And this despite the fact that all the Jews seemed to remain on the channel,” Ivan joked. Let us recall that together with Malakhov, Alexander Oleshko and Timur Kizyakov left Channel One. The special guest of Ivan’s studio this time was Dmitry Borisov, who, of course, also supported Urgant and joked a lot about Malakhov’s departure. His dismissal played into the hands of the news presenter - it was Borisov who took Malakhov’s place in the Let Them Talk studio.

After Andrei Malakhov left Channel One, there was talk on the Internet that another popular presenter, Ivan Urgant, would follow him. Is it so? Let's figure it out!

In one of the latest episodes of the “Evening Urgant” show, TV presenter Ivan Urgant once again surprised the audience. It turned out that he himself spread the rumor about his dismissal and constantly joked about his departure. The program began with a fun newscast, where the announcer is perplexed why Urgant decided to stay on First, and asks the question: “Who will host “Evening Urgant” if Urgant remains on First?”

Ivan called the transitions of TV presenters the main topic of this summer and even compared Malakhov to Moses and called his departure a “great outcome”: Andrei Malakhov brought two more presenters with him. And this despite the fact that all the Jews seemed to remain on the channel.

One of the guests of the program, by the way, was Dmitry Borisov, who now replaces Andrei Malakhov on one of Channel One’s most popular programs, “Let Them Talk.”

The management of the Russian Channel One made a completely adequate decision in the situation in which Russia found itself due to the inappropriate jokes of the presenter Ivan Urgant.

The scandal surrounding Russian TV presenter Ivan Urgant continues. Today it became known that the management of Channel One broke the contract with the showman and suspended the filming of projects in which he was the host.

According to a source in Channel One, the reason was yesterday’s statement by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, which stated that Urgant’s behavior undermines the relations between the two fraternal states. At a time when negotiations are underway to join the Customs Union, the channel does not want to be associated with a person whose jokes could cause the breakdown of international agreements.

On the other hand, Ivan himself does not try to resolve the conflict. On his Twitter account, he published several more jokes about Ukrainians, and during the filming of the next program “Evening Urgant,” the presenter constantly made jokes about Kazakhs, Bulgarians, Baptists, orphans and people with Alzheimer’s, the Reporter writes.

Let us remind you that on April 13, on the air of the culinary show “Smak”, Ivan Urgant said the phrase: “I chopped the greens like the red commissar of the inhabitants of the Ukrainian village.” Guest of the program, director and actor Alexander Adabashyan, in response to these words, joked while clearing the knife of celery: “And I shake off the remains of the residents.” The dialogue was accompanied by laughter from the audience.

Member of the Ukrainian Batkivshchyna party Nikolai Tomenko sent a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in which he asked to pay attention to the offensive statements of the Russian TV presenter. Nikolai Knyazhetsky, a deputy from the Batkivshchyna faction and the head of the editorial board of the Ukrainian TV channel TVI, said: “We cannot allow ourselves to be humiliated by the people whom we invite to our television and pay them money.”

Ivan Urgant apologized on Monday evening for what he said via his Twitter: “I apologize to all residents of Ukraine who were offended by my inappropriate comment in the latest episode of the “Smak” (“Taste” - Ukrainian) program. As a self-punishment, I undertake to cook only borscht, dumplings, and dumplings in this program until 2018 inclusive. And all the children born to me from this moment on, regardless of gender, will be called Bogdan. Yours, Ivan “Podcherevok” Urgant. It’s a shame, Vanya, it’s a shame...”

UPDATED: Journalists from the publication Komsomolskaya Pravda called Channel One, but they refused to comment on the situation. However, as Komsomolskaya Pravda managed to find out, no one has fired Urgant and does not intend to.

Ivan Urgant once again asked for forgiveness on the air of the Russian First Channel, now quite seriously.

Ivan Urgant, TV presenter:

I want to ask forgiveness from all residents of Ukraine and everyone who was offended by my statement in the TV show “Smak”. I just said something stupid without thinking.
I could not imagine that this phrase could provoke an international scandal.
Good night. Until next time.
