Prozhektorperiskhilton

Prozhektorperiskhilton (Projectorparishilton, Spotlightparishilton) - was a Russian satirical show aired on the Channel One. The first episode was aired on 17 May 2008.

Four hosts ( Ivan Urgant, Garik Martirosyan, Sergey Svetlakov, Alexander Tsekalo) discuss some current news and comment on different issues in politics and economics, similar to 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe. The show's name is a reference to the 80s TV program "Прожектор Перестройки" ("Spotlight on Perestroika") - a program that was discussing current events on Soviet television during the times of Perestroika - and American socialite Paris Hilton, who, according to Svetlakov, symbolizes lack of taste. Thus, the name of the show implies that this is a current events program that shouldn't be taken seriously.

The four hosts usually discuss interesting news from newspapers, journals and the internet. From time to time they also answer questions from the audience. The show usually ends with the hosts performing a well-known song. In most cases the song is connected to an event (like the birthday of the song's author). The show is half improvised.

The show aired until June 2012, when most hosts have switched to hosts on shows airing on competing channels.
