“My knees were shaking”: Olga Kartunkova told how she was embarrassed in front of Alexander Maslyakov 24.05.2023, 14:05

The 45-year-old KVN star gained popularity playing in the Gorod Pyatigorsk team, of which she was the captain. Olga makes no secret of the fact that, like many participants in the cult game, she wanted Alexander Maslyakov to notice her. Kartunková saw the host backstage during one of the rehearsals. The artist did not know how to attract the attention of Alexander Vasilevich.

“I’m explaining something to someone and it’s like I need to go there. But I don’t need anything. I just want to show him in front of his eyes to say “Hi” one more time. If he says “Hello, Olya”, then this is my day,” said Kartunková.

She succeeded in carrying out her plan. However, at the moment when Maslyakov wanted to talk to her, the artist got very carried away with the search for the thing she needed. For this reason, Olga did not notice Alexander Vasilevich. Kartunkova greeted her without looking up from her work. She wanted to be honest with the producer, but he surprised her with his reaction to the honesty.

“I hit him right in the forehead. I stand, my knees shaking. He says, “Did you lose something?”. I said, “Come on, probably in the locker room.” He: “And what did you do before KVN?” I think now I will say that I am from ordinary people, I did not finish anything anywhere, I did not graduate from institutes … I say: “Alexander Vasilievich, I sold chickens in the market.” I wanted him to say, “Oh, great, well, that must have been hard.” And he: “Not chickens, but chickens.” I turned and went, “Olga noted in Ivan Abramov’s podcast on YouTube.

She did not understand how to look at Maslyakov’s answer. The artist told this story to the other team members in the locker room. “He sent me?” Olga asked. Nevertheless, this quote by Alexander Vasilievich became part of one of the problems. In another performance of the team, Kartunkov was called “Lyubov Maslyakova”, which the audience liked.

Olga also admitted that she was ashamed to play in KVN because of her age. The actress started her career in humor when she was about 30 years old. According to Kartunková, the other participants laughed at her. The family gave her an ultimatum: if the team did not become champions, Olga would return home to her husband and children. This did not suit the star and motivated him even more to win.
