The Club of the Funny and Inventive, created by Alexander Maslyakov, is a fantastic show that has given a start in life to a huge number of people, producer Iosif Prigozhin said in an interview with NEWS.ru. He expressed surprise that KVN has not yet made it into the Guinness Book of Records. According to him, he does not know of any cases where a program has existed for 50 years and continued to collect high ratings.

Aleksandr Maslyakov can be called a teacher, a person who gave a huge number of people a path in life. KVN is a fantastic show, it can be called the “Star Factory”, from where all the people who became the main people in terms of humor came. I do not understand at all why KVN is still not in the Guinness Book of Records and Maslyakov with his program. I do not know of any cases where a program has existed for 50 years and continued to collect high ratings , – Prigozhin said.

Earlier, music critic Yevgeny Babichev said that one of  the best KVN teams was “Uralskie Pelmeni”. He noted that the audience “roared with delight” during their number “Salto Delcheva” in the program’s semi-final in 2000, and Maslyakov “laughed heartily”. In addition, according to him, the team “Utomlennye Solntsem” made a special impression on the audience, in particular their number “Silence Should Be in the Library”.
