Floodlight Perishilton

Despite the presence in the name of the name Paris Hilton , the actress has nothing to do with this. There were rumors in the media that she could sue the transfer. The Hilton spokesman stated ^[14] :

“All rights to the promoted Paris Hilton brand belong to Paris. This is the first time we hear that a similar program exists in Russia. None of the representatives of the channel addressed us for permission to use the name Paris. And as you know, everything that goes under this brand is automatically successful. ”

However, these rumors were refuted by the representative of the “First Channel” ^[15] .

As Ivan Urgant says:

"The lack of gaps in the title is intended to hide gaps in education, and Paris Hilton sits in the studio and laughs with his dogs."

In fact, this is a revised name for the Spotlight Perestroika program, which was released in the late 1980s . And the second part of the word - “Parishilton” - is something related to scandals, intrigues and money. Here is how the host of the program Sergey Svetlakov commented on such a name:

“You know, the name“ Searchlight of Perestroika ”revolved in our head, but what kind of perestroika is there ... well, they crossed the word“ searchlight ”with a name that represents the present tastelessness. And what’s without spaces is the key. ”

- ^[16]

The author of the program name is screenwriter Denis Privalov. According to Sobaka.ru magazine, initially this name was not seriously considered, but when it was heard by Konstantin Ernst , Channel One general director, he immediately approved it ^[17] .

During the week, the working group picked up the most “delicious” news or just headlines. A few hours before the recording of the program, the presenters gathered and said what was interesting for the viewer and what was not, determined the points at which to beat. More than half of the jokes were invented on the spot ^[18] . The show lasted two or more hours. For television, the footage was trimmed, leaving the funniest jokes. The director of the program, together with the producer and the working group, watched and edited the shot video, choosing the strongest moments in the program. The presenters themselves are almost not involved.

The program does not have a rigid plot framework - for example, there is no formal introduction to the topic, greetings. The camera starts from the moment when the presenters have already gained good shape and activated the hall. An atmosphere of informal conversation is created by people accidentally gathered at the table. Some of the participants in the program were popular players of the Club funny and resourceful . The roles of the leaders, however, are divided, as in the comedy of masks . For example, Ivan Urgant positions himself as an “active” presenter, a man of self-righteous and self-sufficient. Sergey Svetlakov - mobile, mobile, with quick response. Garik Martirosyan actively uses the image of an emigrant. In turn, Alexander Tsekalo rather restrained and is in the background. It is worth noting that two years before the program was released, the first director of the show, Yuri Vladovsky ^[4] , talked about the nature of silence in the frame ^[19] :

“I’m actually now researching silence on television. Silence is an even more expressive means than crying, crying. But nobody uses it, and this is wrong. At the sight of a silent TV presenter, the viewer has the feeling that something is wrong. And this is the most important thing - to create a feeling in the viewer that something is wrong, because if he thinks that everything is right, then he will believe everything that is said to him from the television screens, but this should not be allowed ”

This set of masks, however, does not become a constant feature of the presenters, but rather, a particular image can move from one participant to another.

An important element of the program was the presence of eminent guests.

At the end of each program (from the 15th issue), a musical composition necessarily sounded. Songs were performed both with the guest of the release and without him. The composition of the makeshift group of the ProjectorParisHilton program:

• Ivan Urgant - vocals / backing vocals / guitar / stringed musical instruments / keyboards / xylophone / drums / accordion
• Garik Martirosyan - vocals / backing vocals / keyboards / guitar / drums
• Alexander Tsekalo - vocals / back vocals / guitar / bass / double bass
• Sergey Svetlakov - backing vocals / Percussion musical instruments ( percussion ).
• Felix Ilinykh (2008-2012, 2017) - session multi-instrumentalist (acoustic, electric, bass guitars / keyboards / drums / backing vocals).

According to the press service of the “First Channel”, the program had a team of scriptwriters, which included the presenters themselves ^[20] :

The program has twice received the TEFI Award in the nomination “Best Screenwriter of a TV Program”. ^[20]

On May 18, 2009, Ivan Urgant , answering a question from Vladimir Pozner , stated ^[21] :

In one of the programs, Garik Martirosyan, answering a viewer’s question, wrote it down on a piece of paper that had just printed jokes. According to eyewitnesses of the shootings, most of the jokes are still improvisation, while the rest are skillfully disguised as ^{[22] [23]} .

The guest of the program of June 4, 2011 Sergey Dorenko immediately after the broadcast told Facebook that the presenters did not improvise, but almost always read the finished text, written in advance by the scriptwriters. As proof, Dorenko cited a text from a script sheet that was sent to him shortly before filming ^{[20] [24]} . Dorenko also published his observations ^[25] :

• Many critics note that the jokes of the ProjectorParisHilton team do not go beyond the limits allowed by the editors of Channel One, explaining this by the influence of censorship and self-censorship. So, for example, television critic Irina Petrovskaya noted:

“The funny guys from the ProjectorParisHilton program sometimes still allow themselves (that is, they are allowed to) to improvise, to make fun of America, Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus and their funny presidents. And the more fun the “happy guys” themselves, the stupid their jokes sound. ”

• Antonio Banderas , guest of the program on October 1, 2011, in the American television show Jimmy Kimmel Live! He unflatteringly commented on his experience of participating in the program - it was “one of the most chaotic events in which I participated.” He especially criticized the translator, who, instead of translating, laughed at jokes. ^[37]

On September 27, 2012, the program was officially closed due to the fact that the leading programs Sergey Svetlakov and Garik Martirosyan signed contracts with TNT television channel , under which they could not work on Channel One ^[38] . In September 2012, Channel One CEO Konstantin Ernst said that they were not going to change the leaders ^{[39] [40]} , but in May 2015, he said that the channel’s management was considering an all-Russian contest to replace the program’s hosts ^[41] .

Four years after the closure of the ProjectorParisHilton program, the leading programs came together again, but not in teleformatics. March 8, 2016 on the stage of the Theater. Pushkin held a concert in Moscow , where the presenters discussed current news and answered questions from the audience ^[42] .

On April 2, 2017, the third PPC theater concert took place in the Moscow Crocus City Hall . The guests of the concert were: actor Konstantin Khabensky , singer Alexei Chumakov and TV presenter Olga Buzova .

On April 1, 2016, the program “ProjectorParisHilton” was designated in the program of Channel One. The announcements did not specify in what form the telecast would appear on the air, but there were rumors that it would be a television version of the concert on March 8, 2016 ^[44] . В передаче « Вечерний Ургант », стоявшей в сетке вещания прямо перед «Прожектором», Иван Ургант отметил, что программа возвращается в эфир и будет выходить еженедельно ^[45] . Однако в итоге в эфир пустили повторы лучших моментов из старых выпусков, а о наличии других эфиров «Прожектора» на следующей неделе и далее объявлено не было.

10 февраля 2017 года гостем передачи « Вечерний Ургант » впервые стал Гарик Мартиросян. В прологе этого выпуска Гарик и Иван в диалоге намекнули на возвращение передачи:

«Я пришёл сообщить тебе преприятнейшую весть. Помнишь, у нас была программа „Прожекторперисхилтон“? Я договорился со всеми так называемыми участниками. Все согласны. <…> Осталось дело за тобой» ^[46] .

— Гарик Мартиросян

20 февраля 2017 года в официальной группе «Прожекторперисхилтон» в соцсети « ВКонтакте » появилась информация о возвращении программы в эфир 4 марта 2017 года ^[47] .

С мая по октябрь 2017 года программа вновь отсутствовала в сетке вещания «Первого канала». В июле 2017 года Александр Цекало заявил, что программа в творческом отпуске и возвратится в эфир в конце октября 2017 года ^[48] . 6 сентября 2017 года Иван Ургант на вопрос о продолжении шоу ответил так: «Такие планы были, но сейчас никто не знает, чем всё может закончиться» ^[49] . Впоследствии слова Цекало подтвердились: премьера новых выпусков состоялась 28 октября 2017 года.

С 30 декабря 2017 года программа снова отсутствует в сетке вещания «Первого канала». По словам сценариста Вячеслава Благодарского, съёмки шоу были приостановлены до осени 2018 года ^[50] , однако продолжение программы в дальнейшем также находилось под вопросом, поскольку с июля 2018 года Сергей Светлаков стал эксклюзивным лицом телеканала СТС ^[51] . В апреле 2018 года Александр Цекало подтвердил, что шоу могло быть продолжено осенью ^[52] , в то время как Иван Ургант спустя несколько дней заявил, что «желание должно быть обоюдным» — «это зависит от четырёх человек, а мы все люди увлекающиеся» ^[53] .

На конец октября 2018 года ничего о съёмках нового сезона объявлено не было, а в конце того же года передача была убрана из списка актуальных проектов «Первого канала».

Через несколько месяцев, в апреле 2019 года, Сергей Светлаков в интервью для YouTube -канала Ксении Собчак рассказал об одной из причин остановки проекта ^[54] :

Наверное, главная причина — это напряжённое время, в котором мы живём. <…> Если мы говорим такую-то шутку, мы обязательно кого-то оскорбляем: либо тех, либо других. И это достигло апогея.

Первый канал

И во время существования программы, и в периоды её приостановки телеканал продолжал развивать жанр юмористического обсуждения новостей.

• Со 2 по 13 августа 2010 года по будням в 9:20 утра выходила программа «Раньше всех», в которых ведущими были только женщины. Передачу вели Ольга Аросева , Дарья Донцова , Божена Рынска , Евгения Добровольская и Алика Смехова . Ещё до выхода идею передачи сравнивали с программой канала-конкурента « Девчата », однако, создатели открещивались от этого сравнения, сказав, что шоу больше походит на ежедневный бенефис Ольги Аросевой ^[55] . Программа позиционировалась как временная замена на период перезапуска « Малахов+ » и запуска « Жить здорово! ".
• С 7 сентября по 28 декабря 2013 года выходила программа « Успеть до полуночи » с Алексеем Чумаковым и Тимуром Родригезом . Строилась на основе командного обсуждения новостей.

• С 31 мая по 21 июня 2015 года выходила программа «Мистер и миссис СМИ» с Маратом Башаровым , Натальей Бардо и Иваном Немтырёвым. Передача вызвала шквал критики как со стороны зрителей, так и со стороны телекритиков ^{[60] [61]} . Это было связано с неумением преподнести новости с юмором, а также с противоречивой личностью Марата Башарова ^{[62] [63]} . В эфир вышло всего четыре выпуска.
• С 27 ноября по 5 декабря 2017 года по будням на канале выходила вторая «женская версия» программы под названием «Бабий бунт».

Передача также подверглась критике зрителей и телеобозревателей, которые среди недостатков выделяли не только сумбурный подход и хаотичное ведение шоу, но и спорную личность Ольги Бузовой, за счёт которой представители «Первого канала» пытались «словить хайп» ^[65] . В эфир вышло всего семь выпусков.
