Until August 2017, the Let Them Talk program was associated with the charismatic presenter Andrei Malakhov. Provocative issues and scandalous news beat all kinds of ratings, and Andrei's fame became almost world-wide. What prompted Malakhov to leave his "home" and hand over the furrows to the board of young Dmitry Borisov was discussed for a long time in the media. It is not surprising that the versions of the sudden dismissal took on a radical character.

The Russian media is trying to unearth the most juicy details from the life of the stars. Naturally, this fate was not spared and Malakhov, because such a "tasty" reason gave rise to many negative versions. How wealthy they are, one can only guess.

Andrey Malakhov was kicked out

The presenter himself rejects this, because he was just trying to get the CEO of 1 channel to increase. To convey his arguments to Ernst, the presenter spared no ink and five sheets of paper. Yes, Andrey wrote a letter in which he detailed the conditions under which he would continue to draw out "Let them talk." Ernst agreed to meet personally with Malakhov and, after listening to a fiery speech, "promised to think about it."

Malakhov was fired from Channel One because of the conflict

The commotion arose after the release of Let Them Talk with the family of showman Nikita Dzhigurda. His wife, figure skater Marina Anisina wrote a letter to V.V. Putin, in which she complained that the editorial team of the program was putting pressure on them, and especially Natalya Galkovich was the producer. Marina said that threats were being sent to her family because of the broadcast, in which her husband did not tell what was required of them according to the plot.

Information about the conflict naturally immediately flashed in all kinds of media. And many are sure that Ernst decided to start firing those involved, including Andrei Malakhov.

The official answer about the reason for leaving the host

Malakhov himself hastened to satisfy the fans' interest in his own person, so he honestly spoke about the motives for leaving. First, Andrei said, the contract with the channel ended six months ago. There was no prolongation, and this prompted the idea that it was time to change the vector. Secondly, Malakhov admitted that he was tired of being subordinate and himself realized that it was time to leave.

Millions of people were upset when they heard the news that Andrei Malakhov was leaving Channel One and leaving the Let Them Talk show. Andrei Malakhov came to Channel One in 1992. In 2001, he became the host of his own talk show "Big wash", the program became very popular among viewers due to its everyday stories. In 2004, the program "Big wash" was replaced by "Five evenings". In 2005, Malakhov became the host of the talk show "Let Them Talk", which still exists. Currently, there are many rumors about what was the real reason for Malakhov's departure from Channel One.

Malakhov goes on maternity leave

One of the most popular versions was the news that Malakhov is going on maternity leave to care for a child. “I hasten to please good citizens and those who, during six years of our marriage, attacked my wife with unceremonious questions about the perinatal? situation in the family. Yes, Natasha and I are expecting our first child! " - wrote Malakhov in Starhit magazine, of which he is the chief editor. According to rumors, the producer of “Let Them Talk” put Malakhov before a choice between “TV presenter and babysitter”, which in turn greatly angered the showman, and he found this approach “cynical and unacceptable”, opting for childcare.

According to some rumors, the new producer Natalya Nikonova wanted to add more political topics to the program, Andrei is a man of convictions and is against such changes.

Andrey Malakhov plans to become a video blogger

The TV presenter on his Twitter published a questionnaire that he filled out when checking into the hotel, where in the field "profession" Andrey Malakhov wrote "blogger, video blogger on YouTube." This news gave rise to rumors that Andrei Malakhov is preparing a new project on YouTube as a video blogger.

Financial benefit and transition to the TV channel "Russia 1"

According to some reports, it became known that the team "Let them talk" after leaving the First Channel goes to work on the TV channel "Russia 1" in the talk show "Live". It is likely that Malakhov will take the place of the host of "Live" Boris Korchevnikov. Maxim Galkin suggested that the reason for the switch to another channel was financial gain, stating the following:
“I respect Malakhov, but he annoyed with his transition. If you have already decided to leave, leave. Decree - not decree ... Well, paid more dough - go yourself! He reminds me of the hero Vitsin in "Prisoner of the Caucasus". Remember how he was sausage between Morgunov and Nikulin? "

Scandal with the family of Alla Borisovna Pugacheva

According to one of the existing versions of the dismissal of Andrei Malakhov from Channel One, there was a resentment against Pugacheva's grandson. Malakhov was offended by the fact that he was not invited to the starry wedding of Nikita Presnyakov, and this was the reason for his dismissal.

An affair with Shurygina

The scandalous dismissal of Andrei Malakhov from Channel One was not spared by the version of the affair with Diana Shurygina. As we remember, Diana Shurygina became famous thanks to several episodes of "Let Them Talk" dedicated to her, her story caused controversial opinions among viewers of the First Channel. According to some rumors, Malakhov and Shurygina had an affair, but there is no exact confirmation of this information.

Disagreement with the new producer of "Let Them Talk" Natalia Nikonova

According to rumors, Malakhov did not work well with the new producer of the talk show "Let Them Talk", appointed by the general director of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst. There is information according to which Natalia Nikonova worked at the First ten years ago. Konstantin Ernst believes that the new producer of Let Them Talk will help raise the show's plummeting ratings. Malakhov posted on Instagram a fragment of an article from the Vedomosti newspaper of August 1, which says that the manager must prevent burnout of employees and improve the mood of the team. And he made a note: "Boss-sucker."

In contact with

Popular TV presenter with the "first button" gaining hundreds of thousands of views. What to do? Rating person.

Curiously, the news appeared on Friday evening, but had no basis. It is impossible to seriously consider the message on the scandalous page of one of the media communities on Facebook and the post on Twitter by an employee of Channel One, who has nothing to do with the people who make the decision, as the basis for the news. Andrei Malakhov himself hosted the "Heat" festival in Baku these days and did not comment on anything. As well as the TV channels First and Russia 1 - the RG observer turned to them for comments on Saturday morning. The news was not confirmed.

At the August information bezrybe news can be made of anything and anyway exaggerate the size of their sources, if they are also unknown. Let's try to predetermine what could serve as a ground for hearing.

A few years ago, a strong media manager, Natalia Nikonova, left Channel One for Channel Five. It was she who created the talk show, thanks to which Andrei Malakhov, as they say, woke up famous. And he is not alone. The phenomenon of Gennady Malakhov was also created with the participation of the same person. Nikonova headed the Special Projects Department of the First Channel. On her producer's account not only the programs "Let them talk" and "Malakhov Plus", but also "Lolita. Without complexes", "Judge for yourself" and others. She has repeatedly become a TEFI laureate - the professional community has always recognized her achievements. With Nikonova, part of the team left Channel One, but not the TV presenter himself. Some time later, Natalya Nikonova was hired by VGTRK. The producer knows his stuff. She also launched very professional projects on Russia 1. In particular - the talk show "Live". Some time ago, Natalia Nikonova returned to Channel One again. Andrei Malakhov, who, by the way, always appreciated her very much, found himself in a difficult situation.

Andrey Malakhov in 2010 in an interview with "RG" why the editors, inviting guests to the shooting, do not admit that they represent the program "Let them talk", but say "the department of special projects of the First Channel." According to the TV presenter, "this is probably the reason why some people left with Natalya Petrovna Nikonova. Those who were ashamed went to create a new television for thinking people, with a rating of 0.25."

Then, in 2009, Natalya Nikonova moved to work in the Fifth Channel created by Alexander Rodnyansky as its general producer. And it was there that Malakhov refused to go ...

Meanwhile, news appears on the Web on the topic of who will replace Malakhov. The names of Dmitry Shepelev, who recently also returned to the First button with a new project, and others are named. However, in the grid the program "Saturday Evening with Andrey Malakhov" is the same as the program "Let them talk" - for the next week it is announced. And, as some say, Malakhov's show has not disappeared anywhere since Saturday evening - in July it was not there only once - on the 8th, when there was a concert on the air dedicated to the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.

It is unlikely that there will be news about Malakhov's transition in the near future - at least until the start of the new television season. But why not launch a new "duck" now - for example, that Ivan Urgant is leaving the First Channel. Again, there will be something to discuss.

Meanwhile

The quite seriously respected radio station "Moscow Says" asked the RG observer today a question about whether Andrei Malakhov intends to open his own manufacturing company. Everything is possible - it is quite possible, Malakhov is tired ... But here it is worth remembering Dr. Kurpatov - as soon as he went to content producers and stopped appearing on the screen, he was ... forgotten.

Quote

Here is another quote from an interview with Andrei Malakhov "RG", which explains a lot:

Would you never cheat on Channel One?

Andrei Malakhov:In any case, I gave so many years and efforts to Channel One, then at least I informed the management that a favorable offer had been made and consulted. Next - a discussion of the conditions: maybe the employee felt that he was underestimated. It seems to me that people who are ready for an open dialogue work on any channel.

That is, you need to leave beautifully and in a human way.

Andrei Malakhov:I would call it civilized.

And you, apparently, miss Nikonova.

Andrei Malakhov: Television is a process where no one misses anyone and there are no irreplaceable ones. Now he's gone. What will happen? But nothing. There are no irreplaceable ones. There will be a new one. Moreover, the Americans have a ready-made one. They raised Anderson Cooper - a wonderful guy ...

That is, you realize that in due time there will be a new Andrey Malakhov.

Andrei Malakhov: And I realize, and Posner realizes - that the next generations have grown up ...

In addition to his work on TV, Malakhov is the editor-in-chief of the StarHit edition and teaches journalism at the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Childhood and education

Andrei became a “late” child - his mother was 30 years old at the time of birth. He inherited his appearance from his father, as well as stateness and impulsiveness. By his example, Nikolai, always politely bowing to women, brought up politeness and delicacy in his son. But Malakhov's inexhaustible internal energy is clearly from his mother. According to Malakhov, as a child he was a cross between a botanist and a sloven. He studied at school # 6 in the same class with Zhenya Rudin (future DJ Groove).

Andrey's first teacher, Lyudmila Ivanova, recalled that from childhood he was a surprisingly resourceful and intelligent child. So, one day, instead of the traditional story "How I spent my summer," Andrei went to the blackboard and in a thin voice sang the song "Summer, oh, summer!" Alla Pugacheva, the idol of little Malakhov.

Andrey Malakhov in Apatity. Interview

The boy was a social activist - he led a detachment of Octobrists, then a pioneer unit. In parallel with the school, Andrei Malakhov learned to play the violin at the Children's Music School # 1.

“I immediately realized that I wouldn’t be Oistrakh, so I served my duty carelessly. In the music school, at parent-teacher meetings, children's demonstration performances were constantly held. They always put me first, so that later, in the middle, I didn't spoil the impression with my game. And then they began to put me on as the presenter of the concerts, just so that they would not pick up the instrument. Even on the posters they wrote my name in big letters - Andrey Malakhov is conducting the concert. I was happy".

Acquaintance with Russian television began with disappointment. A woman came to their faculty looking for capable interns. There were many who wanted to, but they did not want to take Malakhov. When it became known that the work consisted of nocturnal work on translating CNN news, there were much fewer people who wanted to. Andrei was not afraid of difficulties, he agreed, but he still remembers those nights with a shudder. He sat until morning with a dictionary, and then processed the news. The efforts were crowned with success - the chief editors liked Malakhov's work.

Already in the second year of the Faculty of Journalism, Malakhov prepared stories for the program with "Sunday with Sergei Alekseev" for Ostankino, and also wrote and voiced texts for the "Weather on the Planet" column.

During his studies, Andrei did an internship at the University of Michigan: students were provided with housing and sent to the States for a year with a monthly allowance of $ 200. But for the summer holidays they did not give housing, and they had to pay for the hostel. I learned about Malakhov's deplorable financial situation, the dean of the journalism department allowed him to live in his cottage, instructing the student to feed the cat and water the flowers, and he himself left for Miami with his family for the summer. In parallel, Andrei worked in a hotel, where he received $ 5 per hour.

During an internship in Michigan, Malakhov was taken to the Paramount Pictures branch in Detroit. The fee allowed him to rent a house and earn some money. He returned to his homeland with an impressive baggage of experience and excellent knowledge of English.

“When I was in school, my parents, who received 120 rubles, paid 3 rubles a month so that I could go to an English tutor twice a week. Money seemed just crazy to me, but now I understand - it was the best investment in their life, which paid off millions of times. "

A career in television. Let them talk

Andrey Malakhov at the beginning of his career. First steps on TV

In 2001, ORT aired for the first time a talk show "Big wash", later renamed "Five evenings", then - "Let the talk". The success of the project, which modeled on American shows with Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Springer, was phenomenal. Every evening for an hour Andrei Malakhov discussed topical issues with the guests of the studio: divorce and betrayal, family problems, drug addiction. Both ordinary people and celebrities were targeted.

Soon Malakhov was called the face of Channel One. His "pro-American" style of conducting - intrigue, heating of the audience - maintained constant tension and, as a result, the interest of the audience. Malakhov and his program were loved and criticized, called both "a knife that exposes the ulcers of society" and "propaganda of chernukha" and "free circus".

Let them talk. The brightest moments of 2016

Andrey Malakhov was the host of Let Them Talk for 16 years. During this time, hundreds of ordinary and famous Russians have visited his studio. The audience sympathized with the beaten wife of Marat Basharov, watched Nikolai Baskov donate DNA, how children and parents who had not seen each other for decades reunite, followed the development of the story with the raped Diana Shurygina, listened to the dramatic love story of Lindsay Lohan and Yegor Tarabasov, and resolved the issue of the adequacy of the relationship between Alexei Panin and his daughter ...

In 2006, for about a month, Andrei was Gennady Malakhov's co-host of the Malakhov + Malakhov folk medicine program. However, the "younger" Malakhov could not fit the new show into his busy schedule and was forced to refuse. First, Elena Proklova took his place, then Gennady Malakhov began to host the show under the new name "Malakhov +" alone.

In 2008, Malakhov, together with Masha Rasputina, participated in the second season of the show "Two Stars", in which popular people perform the hits of past years in a duet. "I Raise My Glass" by Philip Kirkorov in their performance was greeted by the audience with a bang.

Masha Rasputina and Andrey Malakhov - I raise my glass ...

By the way, it was very important for Malakhov to sing with Rasputina - he felt embarrassed for the incident when he did not warn the singer that not only her, but also her ex-husband Vladimir Ermakov was invited to the studio "Let them talk". Then the indignant Masha made a terrible scandal and for some time she and Andrei did not communicate. The duet in the show "Two Stars" was to mark the final reconciliation. But from the first days of filming, Rasputin behaved rudely with Andrei, and once beat him due to the fact that he was half an hour late for filming.

In 2009, Malakhov, together with model Natalia Vodianova, led the semi-final of Eurovision, which at that time was held in Moscow, then the opening ceremony of the final with Alsou.

The show "Lie Detector" did not go on the air for long, but the audience remembered it precisely because of Malakhov's charisma - who, if not he with many years of hardening in "Let Them Talk", could ask the participants of the show who are undergoing a polygraph test, such inconvenient questions that bring all the inside out. ...

"Lie detector" with Malakhov. Release with Anastasia Nasinovskaya

Since 2012, viewers have regularly seen Malakhov on Saturdays - as part of his author's program "Tonight with Andrey Malakhov". They were again awaited by the talk show format, but this time the guests of the studio were exclusively representatives of show business and cinema.

Family tragedy

Andrei's mother, Lyudmila Nikolaevna, was very worried about the death of loved ones. She started having health problems. At first she was treated in her hometown, then she came to visit her son. During the visit, a 68-year-old woman was attacked.

On the night from Friday to Saturday, she was returning from a night service in the church (the host's mother is a believer, observes all fasts and regularly goes to church) when she was attacked by hooligans. Lyudmila was hit on the head with something heavy, and she lost consciousness. Despite the fact that this happened a stone's throw from the police station, it was not possible to catch the attackers. Andrei himself was in France at that moment, but when he heard about the tragedy, he immediately flew home.

Despite the already middle age, the mother of Andrei Malakhov does not want to move to her son. She loves Apatity, where everyone knows and loves her as an excellent educator.

Personal life of Andrey Malakhov

Perhaps it was for this reason that Malakhov remained a bachelor until the age of 38. He had many women: businesswoman Maria Kuzmina, actress Elena Korikova, millionaire Margarita Buryak, singer Anna Sedokova ... But he did not want to build a family with any of them. The tabloid press began to speculate: was Malakhov not homosexual?

In 2009, Malakhov surprised guests at the wedding of Yevgeny Plushenko and Yana Rudkovskaya by appearing arm in arm with Natalya Shkuleva, the daughter of Viktor Shkulev, the owner of Hearst Shkulev Media.

The wedding took place in June 2011 - a month earlier than planned. They say that the dates were changed after the media hype about the upcoming celebration, so the lovers signed in the strictest secrecy and did not invite star guests. The wedding took place in a family circle, in the Palace of Versailles, where renting one hall costs at least 150 thousand euros. And the newlywed night of Malakhov and Shkuleva took place in Le Meurice, one of the most expensive hotels in the world.

In 2017, Malakhov's fans learned that his wife had become pregnant. The presenter announced that he intends to help her with the upbringing of the child and in this regard wants to take "maternity leave".

On November 17, Malakhov became a father for the first time. The boy, who was born in an elite clinic in Lapino, was born quite large: 54 centimeters and 4 kilograms. With the choice of the name, the parents rush to the steel: Malakhov urged the viewers of "Live" to vote for the name of his first child. Two names emerged as leaders: Nikolai (in honor of his grandfather) and Alexander (as Alexander Nevsky). The second option won.

Andrei Malakhov supports his hometown and comes to Apatity at least twice a year. He donated a lot of money for the construction of the Church of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, which was consecrated in December 2008.

Andrey Malakhov collects stamps and postcards. And not all, but only the New Year theme. This hobby came in the fourth grade. Now the host's collection exceeds 300 copies. However, Andrei does not go to special clubs and does not run in search of the specimens he likes, he just comes to a philatelic store from time to time.

During his months in the United States, Malakhov fell in love with the American tradition of planting many flowers in the house. Since then, in each of his dwellings, he turns a balcony into a "green zone", densely entwined with flowers.

Andrey Malakhov now

Various guesses were made about the reasons for Malakhov's departure until the host himself revealed his cards. He said that he was tired of being a "universal human soldier", limited in the freedom to choose topics. “I came to the First as a student, ran in assistants and brought coffee to the legends of television. I became a popular TV presenter, but they still look at me as the son of the regiment. " Malakhov noted that he wants to grow, become a producer and choose himself what to tell people about. It was the tight framework that became the main reason for his decision.

The presenter Dmitry Borisov became Malakhov's successor. In turn, Malakhov replaced Boris Korchevnikov as the host of "Live" on the TV channel "Russia".

(45) is inevitably associated with the whole country with the scandalous program “Let them talk” - together with the studio, he finds out where Rusfond's money went, who is to blame for the rape (18) and (34) on the lie detector. But the other day it became known that "Let them talk" may be left without a star presenter. According to rumors, after 25 years of work (of which 12 years on "Let the Speak") Andrey decided to leave Channel One. Let's figure out what happened!

It all started with a post on Twitter by the correspondent of "Present Time" Yegor Maksimov. “Wow, they say VGTRK bought Malakhov. in any case, Shepelev took over his studio in Ostankino with a new program (this is a fact), ”the journalist wrote. And a little later Vasily Konov, editor-in-chief of the R-Sport agency, joined him: “This is a fact and the main transfer sensation of the television off-season. The TV circles are talking about it with might and main ”.

And so, the news was picked up by the leading news agencies. For example, RBC reported that the TV presenter did not work well with the new producer, Let Them Talk, who was appointed by the General Director of the First, Konstantin Ernst (56), in order to raise the ratings of the show. Andrey demanded to return the previous producer, he was refused, and he decided to switch to another channel. According to RBC, in the fall, Andrei Malakhov will work on the Russia 1 channel (VGTRK holding) in the Live TV program (currently hosted by Boris Korchevnikov (35), but he plans to focus on the position of general director of the Spas channel) ... A part of the team will also leave for Andrey, so Channel One, if the information is confirmed, will have to conduct a rather big casting.

In any case, neither the leadership of the First, nor Andrei Malakhov have so far commented on the rumors in any way, and the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) refer to the vacation of the entire leadership team (we do not know anything - they have not heard anything). Andrei himself, by the way, in 2014 shared that he had no idea what would make him leave Channel One. He frankly: “Sometimes during the recording of the next program, where the father raped his daughter or where ungrateful children, a week after the death of their mother, furiously divide the inheritance, I want to get up and leave. But the thought always stops me - we still help. DNA examinations, which are carried out for ether, are real. After many broadcasts, criminal cases were opened or reopened, and the perpetrators went to jail. We are doing a good deed. "
