On Friday, August 25, on the channel "Russia 1" will show a special edition of the program "Andrey Malakhov. Live". In it, the editor-in-chief of the StarHit project will interview Boris Korchevnikov, who recently headed the Spas channel. The announcement of the first broadcast with the new presenter caused heated discussions on the Web, which fueled intriguing videos. Many viewers were looking forward to the resolution of the main television intrigue of this summer.
At one time, Andrey Malakhov went from an intern translating CNN news to the host of one of the highest rated shows on Russian TV. StarHit remembered the first broadcasts of programs with the participation of a TV journalist, each of which was remembered by his fans for a long time.
« Good morning»
Andrey Malakhov's debut on television was the "Style" section of the ORT morning broadcast. A young man who recently graduated from Moscow State University told the audience about the latest fashion trends. Few people know, but the appointment, which any student journalist can envy, was preceded by active work behind the scenes - the future presenter, who was distinguished by good knowledge of English language, translated news from American sources. Sleepless nights were not in vain - editor-in-chief Larisa Zenina appreciated the efforts of a temporary employee, and soon he began to appear on the air.
“And when during the holidays it was necessary to put someone to replace the host of Good Morning, I was offered to sit in the studio chair. Most of my new colleagues turned out to be real professionals and taught me a lot, ”recalled Andrey Malakhov.
His godmother on TV, the presenter called Elena Mironova, the host of the morning broadcast. It was she who once discovered the talent of a novice journalist. The woman believed that there could be no trifles in working on television, so she gave her young colleague fashion glasses, which her sister Alla, who worked in a large specialized chain of stores, helped her pick up. Years later, Andrei Malakhov continued to keep this thing, which became a reminder for him of the beginning of his career. To the great regret of her relatives and friends, Elena Mironova passed away after a long and serious illness.
“Lena was not just bright, smart and independent, she was stunning! It felt the breed and high class. Knowing by heart almost all of Tsvetaeva and idolizing Akhmatova, she did not miss a single significant concert, theatrical premiere or opening day. She was aware of all the news, being for the guests of the Good Morning program, where she worked for many years, the most desirable interlocutor, ”wrote Andrey Malakhov in his column for StarHit.
"Big Wash"
The idea of the Big Wash program, which made a kind of revolution in the genre of talk shows, belonged to Andrei Malakhov and the host of the morning broadcast, Larisa Krivtsova. At first, the TV journalist wanted to bring to life the idea of a conversation between two people against the backdrop of a working washing machine, and make the studio itself in the form of a laundry. However, later the authors of the program slightly changed the concept.
“One hour is the automatic mode of operation of the washing machine. Now, instead of the usual soap operas, housewives, having started washing their laundry, will watch an hour-long talk show. Each program has one central theme", - said in the announcement of the program.
The first episode of The Big Wash aired on July 23, 2001. Andrey Malakhov led the program in a light suit, and Ilona Bronevitskaya was among the invited guests. She told viewers about her bad experience of working with make-up artists. The audience reacted to the star's words with laughter and applause.
“They took off my glasses. So, a yellow crimped dress, they also combed my hair like that. Now I know that make-up artists can not be trusted, but, in general, then I gave myself up. Here's what came out of it. And then everyone said: “Oh, how it is Edita Stanislavovna, so she gave birth to a daughter older than herself,” said the artist.
Per short time the program, which was not afraid to touch on high-profile topics and experiment, fell in love with the audience. In the TV show studio, liars were exposed, psychics were invited, and even hypnosis sessions were arranged. Andrey Malakhov did not stop experimenting with the manner of broadcasting and periodically tried on extravagant and fashionable costumes. At the same time, the presenter said that his style was important for attracting a young audience, and he himself would hardly spend a thousand dollars on a torn jacket.
"Five Evenings"
In September 2004, The Big Wash was renamed Five Evenings, and the topics of the program became more serious. Andrey Malakhov and his guests began to discuss issues of public importance - pensions, the cost of living, social and political problems. At the same time, the program sometimes touched on high-profile news, for example, another scandal in Bolshoi Theater or the premiere of Zemfira's new album.
"Good evening! On the air "Five Evenings" with Andrey Malakhov. Thank you for doing it on Channel One. We discuss daily problems in the light of evening lights,” the host said before the start of the program.
The design of the studio, which was called a transformer on Channel One, also contributed to the fact that the program began to look more respectable. “Non-standard TV show techniques, synthesis of the genres of talk shows, variety art, elite circus,” the TV show announcement said.
"Let them talk"
"Five Evenings" did not air for long. In 2005, Channel One decided to reformat again evening show with Andrey Malakhov and focused on more scandalous and gloomy topics. The first episode of the program aired on August 30. He was dedicated to the "Ural Demi Moore" - the provincial teacher Elena Krylova, who was fired because of a part-time job in a variety show.
"FROM today in this studio, let those who have something to say speak, and let those who cannot remain silent speak. This summer, they talked a lot about a simple provincial teacher from the Ural town of Sukhoi Log. During the day she worked and taught Russian language and literature, and in the evening she danced a striptease in a variety show. (...) The theme of the first broadcast “Let them talk” is “Russian Striptease”, we will discuss the loudest erotic scandals of the summer,” Malakhov announced.
The second issue of the program was devoted to how Russians apply to the European Court of Human Rights. Among the heroes of the program were Vladimir Golovlev, who dreamed of walking on the street without clothes, Natalya Znamenskaya, who could not bury a child under the name of her own father, and the scandalous writer Kirill Vorobyov.
“Let some people say that they have the right to do what they want. But what if a person wants to go naked, well, if not naked, then half-naked. And what to do if our desires do not coincide with the principles of public morality. The theme of the release today is “I have the right,” Andrey Malakhov announced before the start of a heated discussion in the transfer studio.
In 2015, “Let them talk” celebrated its anniversary - ten years since the first broadcast went on the air. The program, which continues to air on Channel One with the new presenter Dmitry Borisov, is considered one of the highest rated projects on TV.
"Tonight"
The premiere of a new entertainment show with Andrey Malakhov took place on September 1, 2012. “The program comes out exactly on Saturday evening, when you don’t want to think about something serious and important, and the desire to spend the evening calmly in the company of interesting and famous people outstrips all others,” the program announcement reads.
In the first issue of Tonight, Andrey Malakhov greeted the audience and lamented that the summer had flown by unnoticed.
“I want to return these leaving warm days. Let's try to do this. All last week I was asked: “What mood will be in your new program? I want to start our today's broadcast with a flash mob. (...) So, I watched a fantastic flash mob from St. Petersburg "White Nights" on the Internet. I hope he will convey the atmosphere that we want to create in our program - an atmosphere of unification, community, when complete strangers can unite, even for a short time, ”Malakhov addressed the audience.
After a welcoming speech, the presenter offered to watch the footage from the cultural capital, made in the summer, and start dancing right in the studio. The atmosphere that prevailed on the set was fun and relaxed. Many celebrities, including Iosif Kobzon, Timur Kizyakov, graduates of the Star Factory, Philip Kirkorov, Alla Pugacheva, Stas Mikhailov, Vera Brezhneva and Vera Glagoleva, told their stories and shared memories in this setting.
The heroine of the premiere release of the program was the star of the 90s Larisa Chernikova. The artist, who lives in the USA, left the stage a long time ago. She is now a successful farmer and naturopathic doctor. On the air of the program, the performer first saw her father, who left the family when she was not even a year old, and also met her half-sister. In addition, Chernikova introduced suddenly found close people to American relatives.

Screensaver of the program "Wait for me"
This year, Channel One has seen a record number of changes. The programs “Alone with everyone” and “While everyone is at home” closed. But if Yulia Menshova remained on Channel One and is preparing new projects, then Timur Kizyakov is not. The legendary program “So far, everyone is at home”, which had been on the air for 25 years, was decided to be closed due to the scandal with orphans. After information appeared in the media that Timur and Elena Kizyakov, the project hosts, take money for the production of video passports for orphans from several sources at once, Channel One began an internal audit and discovered the fact of fraud. In turn, Kizyakov did not agree with this version of what happened. He claims that the television company that supplies the content acted as the initiator of the termination of cooperation. According to the TV presenter, the letter about the termination of the contract was received by Channel One on May 28.

Only gratitude for the long-term, bright, diverse, very rich and very interesting, good cooperation, which ended of its own accord at the beginning of June this year! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the management of Channel One for their trust, support, attention and endless possibilities! To everyone with whom I worked, thanks for the help, passion and common cause! As a freelance artist, he accepted an offer he couldn't refuse! Wherever and with whomever you are, the main task remains to give the viewer joy, peace of mind and good mood! The viewer knows it from the heart. World Peace!!!" - Oleshko wrote on Instagram.

A nationwide program ... very, very sorry”, “How can such a program be removed? The whole world looks, hopes, believes, prays to this program," the distressed viewers write.

The new team, which was recruited by the TV company after the dismissal of the creator of the program, Sergei Kushnerev, quarreled with the presenter Alexander Galibin and fired him. At the same time, no one informed the channel about this. In turn, the First, who was completely satisfied with the host, tried to return it, but "VID" refused to do so. Ultimately, the parties did not agree in the negotiations.
