How much do they pay on television talk shows? How much does a talk show host earn? Let’s analyze How much it costs to participate in a live broadcast program.

Many people wonder how much it costs to participate in “Let Them Talk,” at least as a spectator? It turns out that it’s free, but they’ll also pay you money. So, the juiciest thing about the popular talk show.

How much will they pay for applause?

Many believe that the audience in the hall themselves pays money to watch the next freak episode. But in fact, the organizers pay them about 700 rubles for extras. The main characters of the show are paid tens of times more, starting from 10 thousand rubles, but the more interesting the story, the higher the payment.

There is interesting information about how much the Shurygina family was paid for participation, because the figure mentioned in the media is about half a million. This question was answered by ex-correspondent of the program A. Zaoksky

“I don’t think that Shurygina’s family was paid half a million, as the press writes about it. I think they were paid 200 thousand, maybe 300.”

What is the point of the transfer - if they pay for it?

In general, the program deals with real situations (not without some embellishment, of course). Those. talk shows need to interest the viewer (they succeed in this), and at the same time help (if required) in resolving the conflict between the heroes of the program. According to Malakhov, the project helped many people achieve justice.

From “The Big Wash” to “Let Them Talk”

Initially, the “Big Wash” project appeared (2001), but its focus was slightly different - personal (even intimate) stories of show business stars were brought up for discussion. Then the program was renamed “Five Evenings”, the problems became of a global scale - politics and public relations were discussed. In 2005, the show became known as “Let Them Talk.”

Salary of Andrey Malakhov

Undoubtedly, this is a personal question, but one that interests most of Russia. On the program “Let Them Talk,” the presenter not only made a career, but also earned good capital. Malakhov’s approximately monthly earnings were about a million rubles.

From “Let them talk” to blogging

The presenter decided to take blogging seriously and created a channel on YouTube - malakhov007, where you will see (you won’t believe it!) Diana Shurygina.

New presenter

Since the summer of 2017, Andrei Malakhov no longer hosts the “Let Them Talk” program, but went to a similar show “Live” (on the Russia channel). Replaced (as it seemed previously irreplaceable presenter) Dmitry Borisov.

Perhaps not a single political talk show on Russian television is complete without foreign guests. Every time they speak out against our country, they receive insults and even kicks in response, but they do not stop going to the programs. It turned out that the role of a whipping boy is a very profitable business.

According to an informed source, some experts attend such shows for free, while others go to them as a job. For example, Ukrainians come to the program only for money.

ON THIS TOPIC

For example, the most expensive Ukrainian expert on the show is political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun. He earns from 500 to 700 thousand rubles a month, and sometimes his income amounts to a million rubles, writes Komsomolskaya Pravda.

US journalist Michael Bohm earns the same amount. “The American generally has an exclusive contract and rate. He is obliged to attend a certain number of broadcasts,” the publication’s interlocutor said.

There are also more modest experts. For example, Polish political scientist Jakub Koreyba earns less than 500 thousand rubles a month. It’s just that the expert doesn’t manage to come to Moscow often for programs.

“Everything is official – they sign the contract, pay taxes,” the source added. An expert like Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Suvorov receives 10-15 thousand rubles per broadcast. More popular guests are paid up to 30 thousand rubles for participation.

Earlier it was reported that American journalist Michael Bohm was almost beaten in the midst of the “Time Will Tell” show on Channel One. The host of the program, Artem Sheinin, began to threaten the guest, and then jumped up to him and grabbed him by the jacket.

“What do you think, I can only use my tongue? Are you provoking me? Did I tell you to sit? Sit!” – he said angrily. Despite such humiliating treatment, Bom did not leave the studio and stated that he did not hold a grudge against Sheinin.

Ukrainians do not come without paying

The media found out how much participants in political talk shows on Russian TV channels earn. For example, the monthly income of the American journalist Michael Bohm, who often acts as a “whipping boy,” can reach one million rubles.

Not all invited experts receive money for visiting a talk show - some come for free. However, there is a category of persons whose remuneration can be about one million rubles per month.

“For some it’s a job. Ukrainians don’t come without paying,” a source told kp.ru.

According to him, the “most dear” guest on air is Ukrainian political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun. “His monthly earnings from all shows and channels are from 500 to 700 thousand rubles. Sometimes up to a million a month,” the source said.

American Michael Bohm, who has an exclusive contract and rate, receives approximately the same amount.

Polish political scientist Jakub Koreyba, in turn, earns less than 500 thousand rubles a month, since he rarely visits Moscow. “Everything is official - they draw up an agreement, pay taxes,” noted the publication’s interlocutor.

Let us remind you that recently the host of the talk show “Time will show” on Channel One Artem Sheinin for interrupting him. He grabbed the American by the back of the head and said: “Why are you provoking me, my friend? I told you to sit!”

In October, during a break in the talk show “Time Will Show,” a crime was committed, for which Sheinin later apologized, nevertheless, considering that the cause of the fight was “paranoid delirium” while defending a pro-Ukrainian position. The person who hit Kovtun turned out to be Alexander Borodai, the first chairman of the Council of Ministers of the self-proclaimed DPR.

Scandalous talk shows are now at the peak of popularity. The team of each such program strives to find a hot topic and lure more interesting characters into the studio. In pursuit of high ratings, channels are ready to spend money: it turns out that not only television workers receive money for filming, but also almost everyone you see on the screen!

Both ordinary Russians and famous personalities openly tell their stories throughout the country, largely because they receive impressive fees for it. Journalists found out exactly who and how many.

Heroes of the plots

During a talk show, various stories related to the main characters are often shown on the screen: relatives, neighbors, and colleagues are interviewed. To do this, the film crew travels to the regions in search of juicy details. But no one is in a hurry to tell unpleasant things for free, but “scamming a neighbor” for a couple of tens of thousands of rubles is another matter.

Heroes in the studio

Heroes who are interested in publicity and solving their problem or simply thirst for fame often agree to come for free. They are paid for travel to Moscow and back, hotel accommodation, and meals. These are, for example, people who lost their homes in a fire, or a person who dreams of proving their relationship with a star.

But the antiheroes don’t want to go to the studio and embarrass themselves in front of the whole country. They solve the problem for 50-70 thousand rubles - a colossal amount for many citizens and a penny for television.

According to some reports, the driver of former ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, whom she accuses of stealing money, was persuaded to come to the Let Them Talk studio for 50 thousand rubles. The veteran, who transferred the apartment to his young wife and left his son with nothing, was paid 70 thousand. Diana Shurygina and her family received about 300 thousand rubles for participating in several episodes of “Let Them Talk.”

Show business stars and their relatives have higher prices. Thus, Danko’s wife received 150 thousand rubles for revelations about the family. Nikita Dzhigurda and Marina Anisina, who like to publicly sort things out, are paid 500 thousand rubles for one program.

Experts

Psychologists, nutritionists, lawyers and other experts who comment on the problem in the studio often agree to broadcast for free - for the sake of their PR. For those intractable people who are of interest to the viewer, television workers pay from 30 to 50 thousand rubles. Moreover, they are brought to the shooting and taken back by taxi, and provided with a make-up artist and hairdresser.

Extras

The audience in the studio gets the least. But they have another advantage - they find out everything first and without cuts. For example, when the country was still wondering who would host “Let Them Talk” instead of Malakhov, these lucky ones already knew that it was Dmitry Borisov.

Leading

The biggest fees, of course, go to the presenters. Thus, in a recent interview with the Kommersant newspaper, Andrei Malakhov did not argue with the journalist, who announced as his annual income for working in “Let them talk” on Channel One the amount of $1 million (57 million rubles, or 4.75 million rubles per month). At his new job, according to the “king of the booth,” his income is “comparable.”

Another broadcast star, Olga Buzova, receives an average of 50 million rubles a year for hosting “House-2.”

What brings people to television programs and forces them to “wash dirty laundry in public”: the fight for justice or the desire to earn extra money? It would seem that the specialists and politicians present on the talk show are eager to provide assistance to the population, which will help them solve their problems. Is it really?

Journalists from one of the television channels conducted their own investigation and determined how much they pay for participating in the Channel One talk show “Let Them Talk.”

As it turned out, participation is, of course, voluntary. But if for some reason the main character refuses to film, then they begin to influence him in various ways: persuasion, request, threat, hypnosis, etc. In addition, the talk show participant is paid for a two-way ticket and accommodation in a hotel room. But this is not all the measures. The editors of the television program offer a fee for participation, which ranges from 5 thousand rubles and above. In the event that a person still continues to refuse to participate, the fee may increase up to 50 thousand.

Stars who come to filming most often earn not only a good fee, but also do PR for themselves. Black PR is also PR, which is aimed at ensuring that the public does not forget the artist. Based on the results of the filming of “Let Them Talk” with the participation of Nikita Dzhigurda, who came to the studio about his divorce from Marina Anisina, the actor received a reward of about 600 thousand rubles (according to Dzhigurda himself).

Also, after such events, stars become the “highlights” of all social networks.

Journalists note that practically no one receives the help promised from deputies, politicians and other specialists present in the studio. You shouldn’t have much hope if during the filming they promise to sort out the whole situation and get things moving. Often such promises remain only in words.

Now, probably, many will think: did rape victim Diana Shurygina really come there for the sake of a fee and PR? This question can only be addressed to the “talk show star.”

Journalists from the Dozhd channel revealed a high staff turnover due to difficult working conditions. Some can't stand it physically, others can't stand it mentally. Based on the work done by journalists, we can conclude: you shouldn’t believe everything that is shown on such talk shows. Most often this is “show off” for money.

Are you ready to take out your “dirty laundry” and show it to the whole country? You can fully receive support and criticism from people close to you who know you and your family better than strangers. It should be noted that the rating of the TV show is quite high. This means that “Let Them Talk” will continue to “investigate” the stories of citizens for a long time. The main thing is that these “investigative measures” make sense: learn from mistakes.
