Evening Urgant (Russian: Вечерний Ургант, translit. Vecherniy Urgant) is a Russian late-night talk show hosted by Ivan Urgant on Channel One, a show based on similarly styled American late-night shows. The first episode aired on 16 April 2012. Ivan Urgant has said that he receives advice from western television producers, and uses Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman for his inspiration.[1]

Format and structure

Every episode starts with a cold open, featuring jokes usually related to the night's guests. Following that, the opening credit sequence plays, featuring a series of nighttime shots of Moscow, with Urgant walking down the street. Back in the studio, Urgant delivers a stand-up opening monologue containing jokes about current events, pop culture, or politics. Following the monologue, the show may feature one or more comedy skits or recurring segments, after which Urgant brings out that evening's celebrity guests for one-on-one interviews. The final segment of the show features a live performance from a musical guest.

The main focus of the show is on the portion containing celebrity interviews. The show's house band is Fruits, hailing from Saint Petersburg.[2]

Filming and airing

The show is taped in front of a live audience at 4:30 PM MSK on the day the episode is due to be aired. Some interviews may be recorded days in advance, depending on the availability of the guest. Anyone over 16 years old can fill out an application on the show's website to be a member of the studio audience.[3]
