Andrei Malakhov was one of the permanent showmen of Channel One, where he worked since 2001. “The Big Wash”, “Let Them Talk”, scandals, quarrels and squabbles - all this gathered viewers in prime time on TV from year to year. The unknown graduate of the journalism department owes his popularity to “First,” on which he became the star presenter he is now.

It would seem that nothing foreshadows problems, and an evening with Andrei Malakhov is an unshakable program that Konstantin Ernst will not dare to remove from the air. But everything has an end - and the scandalous presenter’s program was no exception. On July 31, reports appeared that Malakhov was leaving “First” and moving to “Russia”.

And he doesn’t leave alone, but along with the entire team that worked on the talk show. The exact reasons are still unknown; the presenter himself is escalating the situation, stating only that “he has already made a decision.” Let’s try to consider all the versions of why we won’t see new stories on “First” about the rape of Diana Shurygina and gatherings with the stars in “Tonight” with Andrei Malakhov.

Conflict with producers

Immediately after the news about the showman’s possible departure, information began to appear about a conflict with producer Natalya Nikonova. This woman once worked on this show, then changed jobs, but eventually returned to the first button. Rumors are being spread, as the media say, by a certain anonymous editor of “Let Them Talk” with Andrei Malakhov. The source calls her a dictator and claims that she strongly recommended that the showman move away from everyday topics towards the political sphere. The presenter did not like the proposal at all, which led to his departure.

Conflict with Ernst

Other sources say that Andrei Malakhov is leaving due to disagreements with the general director of the channel, Konstantin Ernst. Allegedly, the showman asked the manager for permission to do his programs for several years, to which he did not receive a positive response. Ernst noted that it was to him that the presenter owed his stardom, and recommended that he do what was necessary. IN Lately the showman is really trying to attract public attention with activities outside of his work on First, so the version has a right to exist.

Maternity leave

The Elle magazine website, citing anonymous sources, shared its version. Reason for leaving: maternity leave. Andrei Malakhov’s wife, with whom he is now vacationing in Sardinia, is pregnant, and this is what prompted him to take such a radical action. Let us remind you that she is a brand director and publisher of a magazine in Russia.

In response to the presenter’s decision to go on maternity leave, the management reacted sharply, saying that “Let Them Talk” is not a nursery, and the showman must choose between his family and the show. He considered such a formulation of the issue extremely cynical and contrary to the Russian labor code and decided to say goodbye to “First”.

What's next?

If you believe the information from RBC, in the fall we will see the scandalous presenter on “Russia 1”, where he will host the “Live” program. Many people are leaving with him, so “First” will soon have open vacancies. So far this is unconfirmed information, and some claim that the showman decided to go free and become a blogger. Let us remember that last year the presenter registered on Instagram and collected a million subscribers there, and a few months ago he acquired his own channel on YouTube, which cannot yet boast of popularity.

In the meantime, you have a chance to watch the latest programs with Andrei Malakhov on First. It is expected that his place will be taken by Dmitry Borisov, the evening news anchor, with his own show. The showman’s departure became a high-profile event - actor Stanislav Sadalsky wrote that in honor of Andrei Malakhov a special episode “Goodbye, Andrei” was filmed, which will soon air.

Over the past week, rumors have not subsided that the famous Russian TV presenter, Andrei Malakhov, is leaving Channel One, with whom he began working in the early 90s. Malakhov himself does not comment on what caused the showman’s decision. But information has already appeared in the media, which was confirmed by Malakhov’s wife, that leaving Channel One is not a rumor at all, but a true reality.

Versions of the reasons for leaving also appeared. Moreover, more than ten candidates who can replace Malakhov have already been presented in the talk show “Let Them Talk.”

But Andrey’s real experience as a presenter came in the “Style” program on the radio station, the author of which was himself. But what made Malakhova truly recognizable was the program “ Good morning", the host of which he became in 1996.

Also at this time, the young TV presenter voiced the material he had prepared for the “Weather on the Planet” program. 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 a talk show, of which he was the host, called “The 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 TV viewers.

After this, there were a number of offers not only in talk shows, but also as a host of concerts and charts, and even became the host of the famous music competition, Eurovision. After “The Big Wash” came the talk show “Five Evenings,” and then the talk show “Let Them Talk,” which combined these two programs, which was a tremendous success. At the same time, I began to combine it with work on the “Tonight” project.

Confirmation of his success can be called the award that Andrei received in 2006 “For services to the Fatherland”

Quite recently it became known that the beloved TV presenter decided to leave Channel One, and in particular the “Let Them Talk” program. A lot of versions immediately appeared about the reasons for his departure. One of the most common is the version about 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 does not comment on this situation at all.

But one of the Russian publications, whose director is Malakhov’s wife, reports a different version of the reasons for this scandal. Thus, the publication claims that the cause of the scandal was the TV presenter’s desire to go on maternity leave, but the producers flatly forbade him to do so. Let us remind you that Malakhov’s wife is pregnant, and according to 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.

Andrei Malakhov officially announced his departure from Channel One. Now viewers will be able to see their favorite TV presenter on the Rossiya channel.

He also filmed a New Year’s program with People’s Artist of the USSR Lyudmila Zykina - “Lyudmila Zykina: drinking songs from the main one.” There were also many other projects in which he successfully demonstrated his talent.

1 August 2017, 12:07

This program most clearly demonstrates to us that, it turns out, putting up for sale other people’s pain, tears, misfortunes, digging through dirty laundry in full view of the whole country without any moral right today is called in a simple word"format". Or rather, a format that brings good money. The degree of cynicism simply boggles the mind... What do you want?! Of course this will be in demand! Toilet paper, for example, will always be in greater demand than Dostoevsky's manuscripts! And stupid reality shows, in which participants endlessly sort things out and sleep with everyone, will a priori have a higher rating than a Tarkovsky film.”

Alexey Serebryakov

For almost a day now, the Internet has been buzzing with reports that the country’s main TV channel, First, will soon be left without a face, or rather, without its most famous presenter, Andrei Malakhov. Since Malakhov goes to work for VGTRK - according to some sources, due to a conflict with the team of the talk show “Let Them Talk”, according to others - due to the return of Dmitry Shepelev to Channel One, ex-husband deceased singer Zhanna Friske, who allegedly occupied Malakhov's studio

The first more or less clear and informative explanation has appeared why Malakhov left Channel One.

History of events from one of the employees of Russia 1 (cannot be quoted directly, so it’s very short):

Malakhov is being dragged to Russia 1 out of a sense of revenge.

Recently, Russia 1 producer Natalya Nikonova left for Channel One.

And so, she developed a vigorous activity, decided to direct Malakhov’s program, while simultaneously offering the management ideas for new projects, including the recently launched show of Dmitry Shepelev.

And Malakhov didn’t like it.

He has been running “Let Them Talk” for many years and believes that he does not need a boss. And for “Russia 1” his candidacy is very beneficial: the ratings of “Let Them Talk” have always been higher than those of “Live Broadcast”. And who will miss the opportunity to beautifully wipe the nose of both Nikonova and Channel One in general. And it just so happened that he was offered more favorable conditions.

Natalya Nikonova, twice winner of TEFI-2007, was the head of the Studio of Special Projects of Channel One, without any irony, the founding mother of the genre of Russian talk shows for housewives.

At one time, it was Nikonova who launched Andrei Malakhov’s show “Let Them Talk”, “Malakhov+”, “Lolita. Without Complexes”, “Judge for Yourself”, etc.

Judging by the leaked information, Natalya Nikonova left Russia 1 after a financial audit was carried out.

Alexander MITROSHENKOV, president of the Transcontinental Media Company, which includes the New Company, the producer of this program, discovered financial irregularities. As it turned out, presenter Dmitry SHEPELEV was paid a salary for six months, but he never went on air. When they were looking for a replacement for Boris Korchevnikov, Shepelev was proposed, as we all remember.

Shepelev never went on air on Rossiya 1, the talk show was still hosted by Korchevnikov, but for more than six months Dmitry received money for nothing.

When the results of the financial audit were reported to Mitroshenkov, he suggested that the leaders of “Live Broadcast” Nikonova and Petritskaya resign.

Natalya Nikonova and Marina Petritskaya once came to “Live” from Channel One.

They managed the show for several years: they decided on creative and financial issues, what topics to air, and which participants should be paid how much.

These are the passions that go on on our television.

What Malakhov can bargain about, reports the Methodichka telegram channel: “The real reason Malakhov left for VGTRK is that for several years he asked Ernst to allow him to produce his own programs. But Konstantin Lvovich sent him to f..., motivating the refusal by the fact that “I made you a TV star - you will earn your money at corporate events.”

Well, a completely fantastic version, however, which has the right to exist, that no departure was planned, and all the noise was created deliberately with the aim of pumping up ratings during the summer off season. The fact that Channel One has not yet played such dirty games is not in favor of the version.

With Malakhov's departure, the First would have lost a lot. Malakhov is the channel’s key media personality, the goose that lays the golden eggs of the ratings; despite all the immoral distortions, his talk show is the best in its genre. Dmitry Shepelev, who, although younger, is also quite a professional, as they say, has less charisma. Pug against elephant.

The aesthetics of scandalous shows, which is promoted by producer Natalya Nikonova, is somewhat traditional: endless Alexey Panin, DNA tests, staging, etc., without unnecessary reflection.

At the same time, Malakhova last years, despite the fact that he works in an identical vein, he is drawn to journalistic generalizations and monologues full of morality. Probably, the conflict, if there was one, really arose somewhere here. They tried to cut off the wings of an artist claiming to be a demiurge and put him in a cage; the management did not listen and... The dramaturgy came out completely in line with the talk show “Let Them Talk.”

Don't switch.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
