Elena Hanga asked Boris Korchevnikov an intimate question on the air of “The Fate of a Man”
Journalist Elena Hanga shared her memories of working on a popular talk show about sex “About this”, which she led from 1997 to 2000. On the air of the program “The Fate of a Man”, the recording of which is available on YouTube, the TV presenter asked her colleague Boris Korchevnikov an intimate question that embarrassed him.
The TV presenter compared her work on the program “About It” with a vacation. According to her, there was a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere on the set. “I lived in New York and flew to Moscow for three days. We recorded [“About This”] on Friday and Saturday, and on Monday I was leaving. To say that I worked a lot there would be an exaggeration, “she shared.
At the same time, Khanga noted that there were difficulties in her work. As the TV presenter explained, it was hard for her to talk openly about sex on the air. She said that in the Soviet Union a lot of things that had to be called by their proper names were not spoken aloud in the Soviet Union.
After that, the journalist asked Korchevnikov what synonyms of the word “sex” could be called on the air. The host of “Man's Fate” was embarrassed and confused. “I have only one word – love. Well, maybe another word is carrots. I even blushed at this word, “he admitted.
Earlier, Hanga criticized modern Russian television and compared today's programs with what was shown earlier. According to the journalist, there were “no frames” on the screen before: the heroes of the show were real people with their stories, not actors.
