In his welcome video, he shared: "We have started a YouTube channel and decided to do this as one of the first. We will publish everything we can." The first video aired on the evening of December 25.
From 2012 to 2022, Urgant hosted the popular show "Evening Urgant" on Channel One, but its release was suspended after February. In April 2025, the television host began performing with a new concert, also named "Live Urgant."
According to The New York Times, several prominent figures appealed to President Vladimir Putin with a request to "restore Urgant," however, according to journalists, his return was not supported.
