Showmen Dmitry Nagiev, Dmitry Khrustalev, Ivan Urgant and actor Andrei Burkovsky will play five games of the 1/8 finals of the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful (KVN) instead of Alexander Maslyakov, who has re-infected with the coronavirus and is forced to be absent for the period of these games.
This is reported by “TASS” with reference to the son of Maslyakov – TV presenter Alexander Maslyakov Jr. and the interlocutor of the agency.
“Alexander Vasilievich is still being treated. Since the timing of his treatment is not fully known, it was decided that five hosts would replace him in five games of the 1/8 finals of KVN. Dmitry Nagiyev will be the first. We also agreed with Dmitry Khrustalev, with Ivan Urgant and Andrey Burkovsky. At the moment, this is so,” the agency’s interlocutor said, without voicing the name of the fifth presenter.
According to him, all TV presenters are very experienced: someone left KVN, someone was a jury member and went on the KVN stage many times.
“We are not afraid. These are experienced people. I think it will be very interesting to see how they cope with this,” Maslyakov Jr. said. According to the interlocutor of the agency, Alexander Vasilyevich himself and Channel One approved the hosts of the 1/8 finals.
