TV presenter Alexander Maslyakov: KVN has a bright future, we are not going to close down accused the creators of the comedy show “Game” on TNT, the filming of which was suspended, of plagiarism and spoke about the future of his project. His words are reported by News.ru.
The TV presenter denied rumors about the closure of KVN, which appeared after the launch of the “Game” show, the format of which was considered by many to be similar to Maslyakov's project. According to the head of the club, the authors of the program on TNT “took and stole the idea” of KVN. “KVN has a bright future. We're not going to close. Why on earth? We know the capabilities of KVN, we know the interests of young people, “he stressed.
Maslyakov also recalled that recently a new project, Children's KVN, was launched on Channel One. “So everything will be fine,” the presenter assured.
On November 2, it was reported that TNT decided to suspend the filming and broadcast of the ready-made episodes of the “Game” show due to the coronavirus pandemic. The management of the TV channel made this decision in order not to put the artists, film crew and viewers at risk.
Earlier Maslyakov has already criticized the creators of the “Game” show. He called this project a copy of KVN. In addition, the TV presenter said that the promise of the organizers to pay the winners of the show 30 million rubles is immoral in relation to young people who are interested in this program.
