"We are very pleased to start our joint work. KVN as an organization has always pursued the goal of giving players the opportunity to express themselves. TNT has been at the forefront of television humor for many years. I am sure that our common project will be of interest to viewers of different ages! — said Maslyakov.
In the project, teams from different cities of Russia will compete under the supervision of star mentors for the main prize — ten million rubles.
The name of the program will be announced later. The host of the new TV show will be the new face of TNT, whose name is still kept secret.
KVN first aired in the fall of 1961. The most famous host of the project was Alexander Maslyakov, who joined him three years after the premiere on TV.
Participants of the game continued their careers as comedians, presenters and actors, for example, Pavel Volya, Timur Rodriguez, Mikhail Galustyan, Garik Kharlamov and many others.
