TV presenter Ivan Urgant needs to go to Donbass before returning to the air in any format. This was stated by the director of the Great Moscow Circus and trainer Edgard Zapashny in an interview with the telegram channel News.ru .
"Apart from some small comments on the topic of SMO, he did not run with a machine gun against us, against the Russians. Yes, there were some posts, some interviews," Zapashny said.
In his opinion, now the showman is not hindered by anything "before returning to the Take the first channel and go to the guys in Donetsk."
"To shoot the first report from the Alley of Angels, to interview the mayor of Gorlovka, to go to the hospital and apologize to the boys who are on ivs... or, for example, to donate 100 wheelchairs. To take some actions, and not just pretend that there was nothing," Zapashny urged.
At the end of October, the Stardust telegram channel spread the information that Urgant would return to the air on New Year's holidays. Allegedly, the Evening Urgant team is already working on Channel One in other projects. At the same time, there is no official information about Urgant's return to The first channel was not.
During the period of television downtime, the showman actively performs at corporate events, continues to tour, and also published a book with blank pages "The Swollen glands of Life", selling the entire circulation and earning 3.5 million rubles.
As EADaily reported, most readers of our agency are also confident that after journalist Vladimir Pozner, known for his Russophobic statements, Urgant, who condemned SMO, will also be returned to Channel One. This is the opinion of 44% of the survey participants "How do you assess Posner's return to the The first channel?". 15% chose the option "He always keeps his nose in the wind." 6% - the option "What's wrong? He had an interesting show," 13% do not know who Posner is, and 22% of survey participants do not watch Channel One at all.
A similar opinion was expressed by TV critic Alexander Melman. In his opinion, Channel One, in an attempt to regain its former popularity, can bring not only Pozner and the talk show "Let them Talk" back to the screen, but also Urgant. He noted that on weekdays the channel's broadcast consists almost entirely of political talk shows and, judging by the ratings, viewers are tired of this format. Melman did not rule out that some other format could be invented for the once popular showman instead of the "Evening Urgant".
