Why shut down "ProjectorPershilton" - the best TV show of the First Channel?

At the end of 2012, one of the most popular TV programs of the First Channel stopped broadcasting. Many immediately wondered why they closed the "ProjectorPershilton"?

The transfer was issued in 2008. Closure of it is associated with the withdrawal from the composition, and later the prohibition of participation in it of S. Svetlakov and G. Martirosyan. The ban was connected with the conclusion of a new contract of these leaders with the TNT channel. The initiative of exclusion from the program Svetlakov and Martirosyan was not from the leadership of Channel 1, but from the gene. Director of Gazprom-Media Holding. All attempts by the leadership of the First to persuade the general director of the company were unsuccessful. And the leaders had to be excluded from the program. And since the replacement in this TV project was not provided, the transfer had to be closed at all. Initially, the program was planned to be called "Conversation of 4 witty people in the kitchen."

In addition to Martirosyan and Svetlakov, there were two co-facilitators in the program: A. Tsekalo and I. Urgant.

Guests "ProjectorPershilton" answered humorous questions and discussed various news. Moreover, the presenters read out the news from the media, and then in a ridiculous manner commented on them.

Initially, this program provided for small videos, then invited honorable guests to the studio, and only then, in the process of improving the transfer, contact with the audience of the studio in the form of a "question-answer" was established.

Among the guests of honor were both Russian stars and Hollywood stars. Among them, Nadezhda Granovskaya, Igor Butman, Frederik Begbeder and many others.

The first channel has lost a telecast, which for the time of its existence has repeatedly been recognized as the best. In the first year of broadcasting, the program was awarded the TEFI award in the nomination "The best information and entertainment TV program". The following year, the program again became the best in this category. In addition, the awardees were also awarded to the script writers of the project. In 2010 the program was again recognized as the best, the award was also received by the leading and screenwriters.

Why shut down "ProjectorPershilton", many still can not understand. But one thing is clear that she was the best among the analog gear. After all, in 2011 she again received TEFI awards and received three statuettes. The nominations remained the same: "Information entertainment program", "Ethereal promotion" and "Leader of the information entertainment program". Thus, for 5 years of existence the project has received four best awards of television, and also received recognition of the audience.

But, despite the numerous questions: "Why did they close the ProjectorPershilton?" From the TV program, she disappeared. Konstantin Ernst thanked the ex-leading programs and wished them creative successes over new projects and the preservation of the drive and excitement that they put in the popular TV program.

The program was closed with the words of the leading Garik Martirosyan: "Well, in principle, that's all!". The first channel - "ProjectorPershilton" - managed to win its audience. People who fell in love with the program and who hurried to the TV to enjoy the sparkling jokes of the young leading, are still indignantly building versions of why they closed the ProjectorPershilton.
