“Alexander Vasilyevich is still being treated.

Since the timing of his treatment is not fully known, it was decided that five hosts would replace him in five games of the 1/8 finals of KVN, ”said the son of the TV presenter, Alexander Maslyakov Jr., in a TASS comment.

Earlier, Maslyakov said that he had contracted the coronavirus.

According to the TV presenter, at the first games of KVN, his functions will be performed by invited famous players and people "not strangers to the game and the program."

Russian actor Dmitry Nagiyev confirmed that he would replace Alexander Maslyakov as the host of KVN during his illness.
