 — Petr Kuleshov, the host:

— When it all started, it was impossible to imagine that the show would last so long. I was invited by chance. Producers had to find among the erudites a person artistic enough and able of speaking quickly and loudly. Or find an erudite among the actors. I was just in the right place at the right time. Although I was a fairly knowledgeable guy in my youth. At that time my head was still working a little. Now, when I look at the displayed questions I can answer only 50-70 percent of them. I've never tried to play Jeopardy! I have a suspicion that if I am put in the player’s place, I will lose everything. But I like what I do. We have a surprisingly nice team. And the show has, in general, an intimate atmosphere. Everything is so calm and kind.

Watch Jeopardy! every Saturday/Sunday at 15.00 on NTV
