Ruslan Bely, Nurlan Saburov, Timur Karginov and Azamat Musagaliev will speak on life topics: from sex preferences to school bullying. Talk is not a humorous TNT show in the usual sense. It has no rules or clear rules, rounds and scoring, winners and losers. This is an honest, open conversation of four modern guys on life topics - childhood and parents, sex and relationships, work and success, the army and school. There is no introduction or greetings, the show immediately connects the viewer to the rather intimate and informal conversation of the four comedians. These are conversations that are familiar to everyone in a variety of situations. You've heard or led them in the bar after work, in bed before bed, at the therapist's, in the kitchen, on the train. The time has come to talk about this on television with the same intonation.

KVN is a Russian humour TV show and competition where teams compete by giving funny answers to questions and showing prepared sketches. The programme was first aired by the First Soviet Channel on November 8, 1961.

It also has its own holiday on November 8, the birthday of the game, which KVN players celebrate every year since it was announced and widely celebrated for the first time in 2001.

Brødrene Dal is a Norwegian comedy/sketch-comedy series by Norwegian humour trio KLM, that originally aired as four series in 1979, 1982, 1994 and 2005. A fifth adventure, originally performed on stage in 1997, was edited and released as a movie in 2010. The series bears many similarities to Monty Python's Flying Circus, as the three actors play nearly all the different roles in the series, often multiple roles in each episode. Usually, the series would have a main plot keeping the story and episodes together, but most of the content being semi-related or unrelated sketches. This is especially true for the first series Professor Drøvels Hemmelighet, where the story frequently diverges from the main plot for entire episodes, only to jump back to the plot in the last minute. In the other series, the story is more centered around the actual plot.
