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. Eleven years later, in 1972, when few programmes were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and anti-Soviet and banned KVN. The show was revived fourteen years later during the Perestroika era in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running TV programmes on Russian Television. 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.

Humanity knows two types of logic: male and female. In the new TNT show, we do not push them together, but rather make them work for one common result. Star couples, partners on the set, just good friends and acquaintances will together try to build logical links between the most seemingly illogical events, objects or facts.

Every week Pavel Volya, together with invited guests — stars and ordinary people — will sum up the past week in the best traditions of TNT. Viewers will be treated to a discussion of the most interesting events of the past week, interactive events with celebrities, absurd contests, unexpected musical experiments and much more.

In which the hosts analyze the guest’s natal chart. Olesya very much believes in this, but Dima very much doubts it. Who is right is up to the guest to decide.

Two teams play a non-standard game. Men play against girls. They have to guess what the people of the country consider normal and what not. Participants will have to answer five social questions. The one who gave the most correct answers wins. The correct answer will be the one given by the majority of Russian residents as a result of a social survey. In addition to the players, ordinary people with personal stories and star experts will come to the studio, who, together with the players, will try to figure out whether the way they live, what they think about and what decisions they make is normal.

The main characters are the most significant figures in Russian history who live in their own time. However, their world is filled with modern gadgets and trends. In such circumstances, historical facts and actions acquire a new, ironic explanation.

In the new film, TNT will again rethink its favorite plot in its signature style and show many stars in the most unexpected images. There will be jokes on current topics and musical numbers that will be organically woven into the narrative.
