Why doesn't Malakhov lead? Malakhov's conflict with Channel One: latest news

The first channel showed a new release of the program "Let them talk" without Andrey Malakhov. Instead, Dmitry Borisov acted as a TV presenter.

“Today you will witness the denouement of the most discussed television intrigue of the season. Where is Andrey Malakhov now? Whom only the press for these days has not written down in contenders for this place. But since my name was most often heard in this context, then, perhaps, I will start this broadcast. And we’ll see there,” Borisov said at the beginning of the program.

He stressed that, since we are talking about the star of the "first echelon", the composition of the guests of the release will also be stellar.

The guests of the program were Dmitry Dibrov, Philip Kirkorov, Dmitry Nagiev and other celebrities (some of them recorded video messages in advance).

Throughout the program, its presenter and guests talked about Andrei Malakhov, his contribution to the development of the program, and also recalled some resonant stories.

At the beginning of the program, Borisov promised to reveal the main intrigue of the season, but at the end of the program he said that this would be done later. Meanwhile, he confirmed the information that Malakhov would have a child.

“We will have the most interesting tomorrow,” the host promised.

Transfer of the Year

At the end of July, there were reports in the media that Andrei Malakhov was moving from Channel One to VGTRK.

The official representative of the TV presenter then refused to comment on the transition to RT, and the press service of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company did not confirm this information.

“We have all the leadership on vacation, so this physically cannot happen at the moment,” RT said on the TV channel.

Later, RIA Novosti, citing a source, reported that Malakhov wrote a letter of resignation, but it is not clear whether it was signed. Elle magazine sources noted that the journalist was resigning in order to go on maternity leave: she and her wife Natalya Shkuleva are expecting a child. In response to this, the producer of "Let them talk" allegedly asked Malakhov to choose who he is - "a TV presenter or a babysitter." Malakhov, according to media reports, considered such a reaction unacceptable.

On August 14, on the website of the StarHit magazine, of which Malakhov is the editor-in-chief, a statement from the TV presenter appeared in which he confirmed the information about his maternity leave.

“Yes, Natasha and I are expecting our first child! I don’t know yet whether I will follow in the footsteps of the general director of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater Vladimir Kekhman, who, after the birth of his fourth child, decided to go on maternity leave for as much as three years, or will I act according to a shortened version, like Prince William with Cristiano Ro -naldu, who devoted a little less time to caring for their babies, ”the journalist said.

Everybody's talking

The possible departure of Andrei Malakhov from the TV channel has become one of the most discussed news on social networks. The presenter also stirred up interest in what was happening by posting a snapshot of the questionnaire for checking into a hotel, where “blogger” was marked in the “profession” field.

On August 11, Lenta.Ru reported that Dmitry Borisov, host of the Vremya program, was participating in the filming of test episodes of the program. At the same time, as a media source emphasized, Borisov is not the only candidate for this position. According to the interlocutor of the publication, Malakhov has not yet made a final decision about his work on the channel and has not signed a letter of resignation.

TASS informed that the letters of resignation to the members of the team of Andrei Malakhov were signed, and the former composition of the “Let them talk” program was leaving the channel.

“The statements were written by about 30 people, all the editors and creators of the program, who have been working on it for more than a decade,” a source from the agency said.

Another source noted that producer Natalya Nikonova brought in another team of editors of at least 20 people. It was not specified whether the statement of the presenter himself was signed.

On August 12, TASS reported that the pilot episode of “Let them talk” was filmed, but it will not become clear until Monday whether it will be aired.

“Everyone expected that Andrey would eventually enter the studio, but this did not happen, everything still looks like a hoax,” an employee of the TV show told the agency.

On August 14, the press service of Channel One issued a statement in which they promised to "reveal the intrigue" in the near future.

“Who will lead “Let them talk” in the new season? Andrey Malakhov or...? They have been talking about this non-stop for the past two weeks, putting forward the most incredible versions. Hundreds of notes and posts on social networks have been written, site traffic records have been broken, heights have been reached in the tops of popular news. Versions put forward and refuted. Secret signs deciphered. Today you will see everything with your own eyes - at 19:50 in the program "Let them talk" the intrigue will be revealed, ”the statement said.

Among the possible contenders for the post of the host of the program, who were mentioned by the media, are Dmitry Borisov, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev and the host of the Krasnoyarsk TVK channel Alexander Smol.

The Big Wash and other predecessors

Andrey Malakhov began his career on television, in particular on Channel One Ostankino, in 1992. Then he wrote texts for the “Weather on the Planet” section of the “Sunday with Sergey Alekseev” program. Three years later, Malakhov became the editor of the Morning program, and until 2001 he worked as the host of the Good Morning program on ORT. From 2001 to 2004, he hosted the Big Wash program on ORT, and then performed in a similar role on the Five Evenings talk show for a year.

In 2005, Andrey Malakhov became the host of the talk show Let Them Talk. The plots of the program are built around scandalous and high-profile stories, but some of its releases are purely entertaining.

Dmitry Borisov came to Channel One in 2011 as the host of the Vremya information program. He currently hosts the Evening News program.

I took it at the beginning of summer. And the contract with the employer ended on December 31, 2016 - and the TV presenter did not want to renew it. The fact that, Malakhov told the producer of the program "Let them talk" in a month.

“But somehow everyone didn’t believe it,” the TV presenter said in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper. - And on the first day of vacation I wrote Konstantin Ernst a letter that "I'm tired, I'm leaving."

Malakhov sent an official letter of resignation to the management of the Russian Post channel, since at that time he was not in Moscow. Alas, some people misunderstood this act of Andrei.

Andrei Malakhov said that his departure from Channel One had nothing to do with the transition to Russia 1. The TV presenter began to consider offers for a new job only after his story on the First had already been completed.

“I was even offered to host Dom-2. We decided it would be a good show if it were in the Seychelles. Then there was an offer from a new large project at STS. The reaction of colleagues was interesting. I called Vadim Takmenev (chief editor of NTV infotainment programs) on the second day after applying, we talked about television life, and he could not believe in my departure, ”says Malakhov. - But when you act with an incredible corset all over the country, which, let's be honest, won last TV season, and you are invited, realizing that you are clearly not a fool in television, then you feel respect and understand that here you are no longer a boy who does coffee".

On "Russia 1" Malakhov will not only be the host of "Live", but also the producer of the program:

“My wife calls me boss baby. It is clear that television is a team story, but the final word is with the producer.”

Andrey Malakhov named the main reasons for his transition to a new job:

« This is a series of different events in life. I came to Ostankino as a student for an internship and stood for three hours waiting for my pass. I was fascinated by this big world and started by running for coffee during the day, at night - to the stall for vodka for TV legends. And although you have become a popular TV presenter, you still work with the same people who treat you like the son of a regiment. This is a situation where your colleagues came much later, but already have their own projects. And you still have the same status. You are expected to be the "leader in the ear", but you already have something to talk about yourself with your viewers.

It's like in family life: at first there was love, then it turned into a habit, and at some point it's a marriage of convenience. My contract with Channel One ended on December 31, 2016 and was not renewed - everyone is so used to me being here. I want to grow up, become a producer, a person who makes decisions, including determining what my program should be about, and does not give up my whole life and look like a puppy in the eyes of people changing during this time. The TV season is over, I decided that I need to close this door and try myself in a new capacity in a new place.

Andrey Malakhov also wrote an open letter to his former colleagues in Starhit. Here are excerpts from it:

"Dear friends!

In our digital era, the epistolary genre is rarely addressed, but I came to Channel One in the last century, when people were still writing letters to each other, not text messages. So sorry for such a long message. I dare to hope you know the true reasons for my unexpected transfer to Rossiya 1, where I will host the new program Andrei Malakhov. Live”, to engage in the Saturday show and other projects.

I remember the day when, as an intern, I crossed the threshold of the Vremya program and for the first time saw a large television from the inside. Only 91-year-old Kaleria Kislova remained from that “Ice Age” (former chief director of the Vremya program. - Approx. “StarHit”). Kaleria Venediktovna, colleagues still speak of you with a breath. On TV they will no longer see such people who could "build" ;-) everyone - both presidents and top officials of the state. You are an example of the highest professionalism!

From the amazing past, I will also miss Kirill Kleimenov, who is today at the helm of information broadcasting. We started together on the Good Morning program. Cyril then read the morning news, and today he has a huge responsibility on his shoulders, he practically lives in the Television Center. Kirill, for me you are an example of self-denial in the name of your favorite business, and there is the highest justice in the fact that it was you who got the office with the most beautiful view of the ancient Ostankino Park. I also admire that you can easily communicate even in such a difficult language as Finnish. When conjugating verbs in my "easy" French classes, I always remember you.

Head of Channel One. World Wide Web”, my classmate and classmate at Moscow State University Lesha Efimov, do you remember how you and I flew to open the channel’s broadcasting in Canada and Australia? I'm sorry we couldn't resume our business trips.

Your deputy and my good friend is the news anchor Dmitry Borisov.

Dima, all hope is on you! The other day I saw fragments of "Let them talk" with your participation. I'm sure you will succeed!

One of the main creators of my style - Tatyana Mikhalkova and the super team of the Russian Silhouette image studio! How many styling, and in a matter of minutes, did Regina Avdimova and her magical masters. I think it could not have done without the help of a collection of frogs, which Regina collects for good luck.

My native 14th studio! With tears in my eyes, I recently watched how it was dismantled. Wonderful design, invented by the chief artist of Channel One, Dmitry Likin. Who is able to do better, to endow the scenery with the same inner energy?! Dima is generally a very versatile person. The interiors of the Moscow cinema "Pioneer", the embankment of the park of arts "Museon" are also his creations. And I am also grateful to Dmitry for being one of the first to infect me with a love for contemporary art, and this added an incredible cascade of emotions into my life.

My beloved Catherine! "Sister-Capricorn" Katya Mtsituridze! I'm sorry I didn't tell you personally, but as a person who works on the channel and heads Roskino, you understand: I need to grow and move forward. Katyusha Andreeva, you have a cool page on Instagram, and special respect for your likes. Katya Strizhenova, how many actions, starting from "Good morning", holidays, concerts, our "sweet couple" withstood ;-) - and do not count!

The main music producer of the channel Yuri Aksyuta, we also have a rich experience of TV hours spent together. Eurovision, New Year's Lights, Two Stars, Golden Gramophone - it was recently, it was a long time ago ... You brought me to the big stage: our duet with Masha Rasputina still does not allow envious people to sleep peacefully.

Lenochka Malysheva, you were the person who first called in excitement, refusing to believe what was happening. But you need to develop, as a producer of your own program, you understand this better than others. And if along the way I prompted you to a new topic on the air called "The first manifestations of male menopause" ;-), that's also not bad.

And if we continue to joke, I am well understood by another producer of his own show - Ivan Urgant. Vanya, thank you for the numerous mentions of my person and for raising the rating of that rather big part of the audience that spins spinners.

Lenochka Queen! In memory of your grandmother Ludmila Gurchenko, which I promised not to leave you in life, I still hired you. You yourself know that you were not the most exemplary administrator. But now, having gone through the “Let them talk” school, I dare to hope that you won’t let me down anywhere.

And if we are talking about Maxim Galkin ... Max, everyone says that I am repeating your television fate (in 2008, Galkin left Channel One for Russia, but returned seven years later. - Approx. "StarHit"). I will say more, as a teenager, I, a novice fan of Alla Borisovna, also dreamed of repeating your personal fate ... ;-) And one more thing. I did not comment on your recent video with the castle in the background, because if money had been in the first place in this story, my transfer, as you can imagine, would have happened nine years ago.

The press service of Channel One is Larisa Krymova ... Lara, it was with your light hand that I became the editor-in-chief of StarHit magazine. It was you who organized my first meeting with the president of Hearst Shkulev Publishing Viktor Shkulev, where this magazine has been successfully published for the tenth year.

Well, in conclusion - about the owner of the main office of Ostankino, on the door of which there is a sign "10-01" attached. Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in the life of a man, 25 of them I gave to you and Channel One. These years have become part of my DNA, and I remember every minute that you dedicated to me. Thank you so much for all that you have done, for the experience that you gave me, for the amazing journey along the television road of life that we have gone through together.

The only request is to take care of your assistants, especially Lenochka Zaitseva . She is not only a very dedicated and professional employee, but she may well claim the role of the chief psychologist of Channel One.

I wrote all this and I understand: a lot has happened in 25 years, and although I am unbearably sad now, only one thing will be remembered - how good we were together. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, my love! God bless us!

Your Andrey Malakhov.

On July 30, Russian media reported that Andrey Malakhov was leaving Channel One and would no longer host one of the most popular talk shows, Let Them Talk. Many Internet users who found out about this at first could not even believe that it was true. Whether this information is true and how far it has not yet been possible to find out: every day a variety of assumptions appear on the network about the reasons for the quarrel between the showman and the channel's producers, as well as the names of possible candidates for Malakhov's place and even versions that the scandal is all just PR. We understand.

Blame it on a new producer and political themes

According to the BBC, Andrey Malakhov decided to leave after returning to "Let them talk" producer Natalia Nikonova. She has extensive experience in television, collaborated with many major television companies, including Channel One. Twice became the owner of TEFI.

Nikonova directed the special projects of Channel One, was the producer of "Let them talk", "Malakhov +", "Lolita. Without complexes" and "Judge for yourself."

We once had a crazy live broadcast on which I was sitting at the director's console. At some point, Andrei and I reached such agitation that he could not stand my screams in the "ear" and yelled directly at the camera: "Stop it, Natasha!" - and put his hand forward, as if pushing me away with my instructions. It's good that there was a scream in the studio and no one noticed our squabble. In general, I admire Andrey's professionalism. Even without a director, he feels with the back of his head who to turn to,

- this is how Natalya spoke about Malakhov in one of her interviews 10 years ago.

Now that Nikonova has returned, she is allegedly going to change the vector of the program and focus on socio-political issues. It is believed that this categorically did not suit Malakhov and he decided to voluntarily leave the channel, where he worked for more than 15 years.

The insider assures that Nikonova is going to work precisely in the political direction, since very soon, in 2018, presidential elections will be held. "Let them talk" is one of the most rated programs, it has a large audience coverage, and this guarantees greater involvement of viewers in topics of this kind.

Who will get the role of the host "Let them talk"?

With the departure of Andrei Malakhov, a completely reasonable question arose: "Who will replace the TV presenter?" There are several candidates for the position. The first on the list of applicants was Dmitry Borisov, the host of Evening News on Channel One, where he has been working for a little over 10 years. Dmitry is a multiple winner of major awards.

The network is also discussing information that Malakhov will be replaced by Boris Korchevnikov, who collaborated with NTV for a long time, then switched to Rossiya, where he began to host a similar Live broadcast program. It is believed that he will do an excellent job with his duties, because he understands the specifics of working on a talk show.

Among the applicants was Dmitry Shepelev, who came to Channel One in 2008. Then he was the host of the program "Can you? Sing." After that, he became the host of several more programs - "Minute of Glory", "Catch up before midnight", "Two Voices" and "Property of the Republic".

Rumor has it that Krasnoyarsk TV presenter Alexander Smol is aiming to replace Malakhov. He is working on the New Morning program on TVK. The broadcast brought popularity to the journalist, during which he congratulated the officials on the fact that they themselves raised their salaries. The host's irony was appreciated by YouTube users.

PR?

There is nothing surprising in the fact that a version that is quite predictable for television about Malakhov's departure is being put forward. Netizens believe that Channel One wants to increase its own ratings in the already "dead" season, when there are no major events as such, and interest in the program and specifically in Andrey must be permanently maintained.

There is an opinion that the creators of the program are not going to let Malakhov go, but as soon as the passions around this story subside, they will hush everything up under the guise of the usual misunderstanding and misinformation. Although many experts agree that Channel One would not have taken such a step, because nothing like this has ever been observed behind it.

Malakhov's new place of work

While some are arguing about the reasons for Malakhov's departure and discussing almost conspiracy theories, others are worried about where the most rated TV presenter of Russian television will go now? According to one version, Andrey is going to go to the competitor of the First - VGTRK. He will broadcast "Live", hosted by Boris Korchevnikov.

Moreover, together with Malakhov, a whole group of specialists plans to quit with Let They Talk. But the insider assures that no statements of resignation have been received from anyone. And while Malakhov is on vacation, it’s quite difficult to understand how things really are.

But Andrew receives a lot of offers. So, for example, the Spartak hockey club invited the TV presenter to host home matches by issuing an official letter.

Spartak is seriously concerned about incoming information about the possible departure from Channel One of the popular TV presenter Andrei Malakhov,

the club wrote on its official Twitter account.

Throughout the past week, rumors have not subsided that the famous Russian TV presenter, Andrei Malakhov, is leaving Channel One, with which he began working in the early 90s. What was the reason for this decision of the showman, Malakhov himself does not comment. But already in the media there was information, which was confirmed by Malakhov's wife, that the departure from Channel One was not at all rumors, but a true reality.

There were also versions of the reasons for leaving. Moreover, more than ten candidates have already been presented who can replace Malakhov in the talk show “Let them talk”.

But the real experience as a presenter came to Andrei in the Style program at the radio station, the author of which was himself. But really recognizable, Malakhov was made by the Good Morning program, the host of which he became in 1996.

Also at this time, the young TV presenter voiced the material prepared by him for the program "Weather on the Planet". He also studied at the Faculty of Law of the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Great success and popularity came to Malakhov in 2001 with the release of the talk show, which he hosted, called "Big Wash". Thanks to his professionalism and charisma, he was able to attract a large audience. And already in the same year, he became the best TV presenter according to the ratings of viewers.

After that, a number of proposals went not only to talk shows, but also as a host of concerts and hit parades, and even became the host of the famous music competition, Eurovision. After the "Big Wash" came the talk show "Five Evenings", and the port and combining these two programs in itself, the talk show "Let them talk", which was a tremendous success. At the same time, he began to combine work on the Tonight project.

Confirmation of his success can be called the award that Andrei received in 2006 "For Merit to the Fatherland"

More recently, it became known that the TV presenter, beloved by everyone, decided to leave Channel One, and in particular the program “Let them talk”. Immediately there were a lot of versions about the reasons for his departure. One of the most common is the version of the scandal between Malakhov and the producer of Channel One.

According to the media, Andrei is not satisfied with the work of the new producer, and he demanded the return of the previous one, who had worked with him for 10 years. Malakhov himself does not confirm this version, and she does not comment on this situation at all.

But one of the Russian publications, the director of which is Malakhov's wife, reports a different version of the reasons for this scandal. So, the publication claims that the cause of the scandal was the desire of the TV presenter to go on maternity leave, but the producers flatly forbade him to do so. Recall that Malakhov's wife is in a position, and under the law, he has every right to go on maternity leave to care for a child instead of his wife. They also say that Malakhov intends to leave Channel One for Russia1.

When it was announced that Andrei Malakhov was leaving Channel 1, the whole country died! We have become so accustomed to daily listening to endless automatic question-and-answer lines on Let Them Talk and Tonight that it's hard to imagine that this could not be.

And the very first voiced reason caused a special shock - Malakhov was going on maternity leave! Our show business has not presented such bombastic news for a long time. Rumors grew like a snowball - about conflicts on the channel, and about family problems, and even about the fact that Malakhov had a serious illness. And the “hero” himself mysteriously remained silent or simply laughed it off. And only the publication "Kommersant" managed to persuade him for a frank interview.

According to Malakhov, he has long wanted changes, he believes that he has outgrown the format of these mega-popular, but not his author's projects. He had a new idea for his own TV show, where he would act as both a presenter and a producer at the same time. The first did not want to switch to new projects, so with the end of the television season, Andrei went on vacation, and with the beginning of the new TV year, he will launch the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live" on VGTRK "Russia-1". In addition, its author and producer Natalya Nikovnova, with whom Malakhov had a long-standing conflict, returned to the program “Let them talk”. After that, the search for a new leader began. According to the channel's staff, Dmitry Shepelev was supposed to be it (a couple of promotional episodes were even filmed), but something didn't work out, and the choice fell on another presenter - it will be Boris Korchevnikov or Dmitry Borisov (while the intrigue continues).

Malakhov wrote a statement on the very first day of his vacation, but with Ernst they agreed to continue developing the channel's policy and discussed promising projects.

In addition, Andrey shared his joy that he will soon become a father, and takes this event in life very responsibly. He will no longer be able to have such a busy work schedule as before. But, of course, we are not talking about any maternity leave. He just wants to devote more time to his long-awaited baby. And giving birth on TV will not be shown like Dzhigurda for sure, Malakhov joked.

So we are looking forward to a new program - since September, and also, we wish health to the wife and future baby of Andrey Malakhov, beloved by millions!
