Evening Urgant (Russian: Вечерний Ургант, romanized: 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 received advice from western television producers, and cites Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman as inspirations.[2]
According to several sources, the show was suspended in February 2022 after Urgant expressed his opposition to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,[3] while Channel One claimed that there was just a scheduling issue.[4] As of December 2023, the program has yet to resume.
