Noted television personality, Ivan Urgant, has worn many hats throughout his illustrious career. As a co-founder of the rock group "Accident", he has showcased his musical talents to the world. Additionally, he has served as a television director, actor, and musician, further solidifying his status as a multi-faceted entertainer.
Urgant's professional journey has also taken him behind the scenes, where he has worked as a TV producer and director of children's and entertainment broadcasting for the First Channel from 2001 to 2003. His most notable hosting gigs include "Guess the Melody", "Russian Roulette", and "Rally", which have cemented his reputation as a charismatic and engaging television host.
In a surprising turn of events, Urgant has also dabbled in the world of automotive design. In 1998, he was responsible for designing the center console of the Peugeot 206 model. This unique venture has added to his already impressive repertoire.
In recent years, Urgant has been involved with various philanthropic endeavors. Since December 2019, he has served as an ambassador for the Grant Life Foundation. Prior to this, he held the position of Member of the Supreme Council of the Political Party "Civil Power" from 2007 to 2008. However, he has since expressed regret over his political experience, describing it as a mistake.
In a 2016 radio interview, Urgant publicly expressed his support for Putin's policy on Crimea, a move that has likely garnered both praise and criticism from the public.
