Prozhektorperiskhilton (Прожекторперисхилтон; Spotlight on Paris Hilton) was a Russian satirical television talk show aired on Channel One.
[1] Four hosts (Ivan Urgant, Garik Martirosyan, Sergei Svetlakov, Alexander Tsekalo) discuss current news and comment on different issues in politics and economics, similar to 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe.
The show's name is a reference to the 1980s TV program "Прожектор Перестройки" ("Prozhektor Perestroyki", "Spotlight on Perestroika")—a program that was discussing current events on Soviet television during the times of Perestroika—and American socialite Paris Hilton, who, according to Svetlakov, symbolizes lack of taste.
[2] The four hosts usually discuss interesting news from newspapers, journals and the internet.
One of the reasons, as Svetlakov stated in an interview on Ksenia Sobchak's YouTube channel in April 2019, was that "in this stressful time our jokes would definitely offend someone".
