On the night of December 7, 2023, the TEFI Prize will be awarded at the Maly Theater in Moscow. This is a Russian national television award, established by the Russian Television Academy Foundation in 1994. Our equivalent to the American Emmy Award.
At this time Nikolai Tsiskaridze receives the main television award as the winner in the category “Host of entertainment talk shows” for the program “Tonight” on Channel One.
Rector of the Russian Ballet Academy that bears his name. Vaganova, People’s Artist and Prime Minister of the Bolshoi Theater Nikolai Tsiskaridze became the host of the “Tonight” program a year and a half ago, after the former presenter fled abroad and became a foreign agent. After receiving the TEFI figure, Nikolai Maksimovich gave a response speech on stage: “I am very pleased. I can’t complain: in my life I have received state and international awards… But I never dreamed of such an award, I express my deep gratitude to those who voted for me, thanks to the academics. Thanks to those who believed in me. Thanks to Konstantin Lvovich Ernst. I have been working on television for a long time, in different programs and in different ways. But I started on Channel One in the program “Vzglyad” in 2001 – the person who gave me a lot of attention, soul and heart, was a legendary person – this is Sergei Kushnerev (note – editor-in-chief of VID Television Company, creator of numerous projects on Channel One”, responsible for the program “Espérame”, died 6 years ago). I had to do some live broadcasts and he often told me: “Kolenka, remember that a good presenter is an “empty” presenter. After a while, I understood what he was talking about; I hope he now sees that his work was not in vain and that I received a reward. Seryozha, thank you! I express my gratitude to everyone who makes this program. I want to thank everyone who works with the artists, presenters, makeup artists and costume designers.”
