“Jokes are often unsuccessful”: Yuri Loza criticized Ivan Urgant 04/03/2023, 12:35

The show “Evening Urgant” stopped broadcasting more than a year ago: the last broadcast took place on February 21. On the day the special operation began, the TV presenter posted a picture of a black square on his personal blog, said he was in pain and fear, and spoke out against the actions of the Russian authorities. Ivan did not delete this publication, but he no longer expresses his position on what is happening.

Many viewers are still waiting for the showman to return to the screens. Yuri Loza does not adhere to such an attitude. The artist is sure that television has lost nothing without Urgant.

“This show has it all. Put anyone else there, even off the street, and he’ll do the same. There is nothing difficult about it. The jokes he utters are written by strange people, usually retold with a face. Jokes often fail because you can’t joke all the time,” Loza said.

The musician emphasized that an artist’s talent can only be judged by his work. In the arsenal, the showman has shooting in New Year’s films. “He played in Yolki, but no one calls them a serious work of art,” the singer condescendingly summed up in an interview with the Zvyozdach Telegram channel.

Recently, Ivan Urgant hinted at the return of his show to television. He appeared in the dressing room of the Evening Urgant project.
