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.

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.
