KVN is a Russian humour TV show and competition where teams compete by giving funny answers to questions and showing prepared sketches. The programme was first aired by the First Soviet Channel on November 8, 1961. Eleven years later, in 1972, when few programmes were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and anti-Soviet and banned KVN. The show was revived fourteen years later during the Perestroika era in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running TV programmes on Russian Television. It also has its own holiday on November 8, the birthday of the game, which KVN players celebrate every year since it was announced and widely celebrated for the first time in 2001.

Ruslan Bely, Nurlan Saburov, Timur Karginov and Azamat Musagaliev will speak on life topics: from sex preferences to school bullying. Talk is not a humorous TNT show in the usual sense. It has no rules or clear rules, rounds and scoring, winners and losers. This is an honest, open conversation of four modern guys on life topics - childhood and parents, sex and relationships, work and success, the army and school. There is no introduction or greetings, the show immediately connects the viewer to the rather intimate and informal conversation of the four comedians. These are conversations that are familiar to everyone in a variety of situations. You've heard or led them in the bar after work, in bed before bed, at the therapist's, in the kitchen, on the train. The time has come to talk about this on television with the same intonation.
