International KVN Day.
November 8, 1961 - The first program of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club was broadcast. The hosts were the composer Nikita Boguslovsky and the actress Margarita Lipanova. In the same year, the show was hosted by Oleg Dahl and Oleg Borisov and even Svetlana Drozhinina.
Meslyakov began hosting the program only in 1964. In 1972, KVN was closed. And "Sasha doesn't laugh anymore" appeared in one of the newspapers. There is a version that in 1974 Maslyakov received a sentence for illegal currency trading and served his sentence in Rybinsk. He served for several months. This version was indirectly approved by Mikhail Krug.
In 1986, KVN was revived and Maslyakov continued to be its permanent host until 2022.
