In the year of the Yellow Earth Pig, we interviewed the famous hero of the children’s show.
I’m almost as old as my viewer! In the program “Good morning, kids!” I’m 8-9 years old, because this program is watched by both preschoolers and schoolchildren. Artists come to visit me, I communicate with them, arrange funny jokes. And in the evenings in “Spokushki” I get younger! And I’m 5-6 years old. I am mischievous, a hooligan, I completely forget mathematics and literature. Children who watch our programs see themselves in front of them! And they learn from my mistakes, they grow up. I help them to become educated, smart, get rid of bad habits.
I’m friends with everyone! Most often I visit Mishutka – his house is always full of jam and honey. Karkusha sometimes cooks cakes and pies, so I never pull her pigtails – suddenly she will be offended and will not treat her to anything. Stepashka is kind and smart! If I play football and forget about the lessons, he will help me do them. Well, I know Filia the longest. We have a lot in common with him. For example, did you know that puppies and piglets have a good nose? Therefore, Filia and I always and everywhere find adventure. True, then we have to be rescued by someone from the presenters: Oksana Fedorova, Anna Mikhalkova, Nikolai Valuev, Anton Zorkin, Marina Yakovleva.
I follow the fashion, but I try to stick to my style. My favorite clothes are plaid shirts. They suit me, what is there to hide! By the way, on my Instagram you can see how I dress. And everything is kept in the studio where we shoot our programs. Each character of “Spokushek” has its own wardrobe.
For a long time, costume designers from the Obraztsov Puppet Theater sewed for me. Then the famous designer Victoria Andriyanova took up my style. She came up with my pajamas, jackets and sweatshirts. Now the finalists of the Russian Silhouette competition for young designers are engaged in the image of all the heroes of “Spokushek”. And also in the program “Good morning, kids!” recently a new rubric “Style lessons” has appeared. It is led by designer Galina Yudashkina. So, her team has prepared a New Year’s surprise for us – super-fashionable costumes for me, Fili, Stepashka and Mishutka. Karkusha’s dress is just fire!
Sure! I call this place a personal spa. I love it when they take care of me: they clean my ears, do a massage. Without such procedures, I would have fallen apart long ago, because my schedule is complicated. 7 days a week in the morning and in the evening I appear on television, I act in commercials, I lead children’s holidays, and I also find time for games and classes! Stage speech, for example, should be trained regularly.
I am changing, as are our viewers! I no longer just show cartoons to the guys, they can already watch them on the Internet. I play with them, arrange contests, communicate through You Tube and social networks. And the cartoons that we show have changed: with such twisted plots, wow! No worse than Hollywood! It’s a pity that the old cartoons, on which the parents of our viewers grew up, appear on the air so often. Although it’s a pity … They teach kindness, friendship, respect for the elderly. Remember yourself, how can “Gena Crocodile”, “Three from Prostokvashino”, “Kid and Carlson” be compared to anything …
Timur Rodriguez once came to visit us. He played Stepashka and Filia! I laughed so hard that I almost hit a snout on the table. Even Vera Brezhneva told interesting tales. And with Uncle Misha, that is, with Mikhail Porechenkov, in general, it turned out to be super-air! He turned into Santa Claus.
I only managed to sum up the results of 2018! We have launched playblogs for toddlers on our YouTube channel! And also Filia and I went to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Not to act, of course, but to root for our participant – Anna Filipchuk. I announced the ratings from Russia, and now I have a lot of fans all over Europe! I not only receive a lot of letters, but also parcels with sweets and souvenirs. What will happen in 2019? The program “Good night, kids!” will widely celebrate the anniversary – 55 years from the date of airing. What’s in store for the guys? Let it be a surprise for now! But the fact that we will come off, I can smell it!
