American specialists, as well as the hosts of similar shows Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman took part in the work on the project. A pilot rehearsal episode, which was not aired, was recorded on April 12, 2012.
According to several sources, the show was suspended in February 2022 after Urgant expressed his opposition to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Channel One debunked by claiming that there was just a scheduling issue. As of January 2023, the program has yet to resume.
