Who does not know the charismatic and charming host Timur Kizyakov, who for almost 30 years on Sundays from the morning comes to almost every home with his popular TV show. During this time, regularly appearing on blue screens with stories about the private life of many domestic celebrities - artists, writers, musicians and athletes, he became a well-known and even close person for the domestic public. And that is why for the last four years the program has been on the air on another channel and under a different name, then - in our publication.

How it all began

After the closure of the legendary "Morning Mail" in the early 90s, the question of creating a new Sunday morning entertainment program arose on Russian television. In 1992, an idea was born, which was embodied in a new project called "While everyone is at home", the protagonists of which were to be the families of famous Russian cultural and sports figures. It was Timur Kizyakov who came up with the name of the program "While everyone is at home" and immediately became its host.

Recall that the very first guests of this program were the family of Oleg Tabakov. And Timur Kizyakov, as a presenter, soon won the love and recognition of millions of TV viewers. His author's program "While Everybody Is Home" went on the air for twenty-five years. In it, the headings changed every now and then, but some of them remained constant and were very fond of the audience. The presenter has been repeatedly awarded as the best presenter of the year.

A bit of biography

Timur Borisovich Kizyakov (born 1967) is from Reutov, near Moscow. He was born into a military family, so from childhood he also intended to connect his future with serving the Fatherland. After receiving the certificate, he even entered the Yegoryevsk Aviation School. However, Timur soon realized that an army career was not for him, and therefore decided to follow in his mother's footsteps, enrolling in the Moscow Power Engineering Institute with a degree in Automation and Telemechanics. Timur appeared on television quite by accident, and fate wanted him to become exactly who he is now.

So, by chance, even in his first year, he got to the casting of a new children's program, which a friend told him about. Having written the script for a new program, the guy decided to try his hand. It was his version, to the surprise of his relatives, and, incidentally, of Timur himself, who subsequently won. So, since 1988 Kizyakov unexpectedly became the host of the "Early in the morning" project. Precisely in this way, having begun to earn money on television as a freshman, by the end of his studies he already had a lot of fans among viewers.

Further, Timur Kizyakov's career on television developed even more rapidly. When the Union collapsed, the charismatic presenter came up with a new program "While Everyone Is Home", which eventually became very fond of millions of viewers not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries. Kizyakov managed to invite Oleg Tabakov's family to the first issue, which was received by the viewers with a bang. The program became popular almost overnight, and during its existence Timur Borisovich received many professional awards and became its co-owner.

Personal life

Of course, the personal life of the famous presenter Timur Kizyakov interests fans no less than his creative achievements. His wife in 1997 became the editor of Vesti on Central Television Elena Lyapunova (born 1972), whom Timur met at the height of his television career. By the time she met Timur, the girl managed to graduate from the Institute of Friendship of Peoples, faculty of journalism and came to work in Ostankino. In a short time, she went from trainee to editor-in-chief.

An interesting fact - at the time of her acquaintance with Timur, Elena was married, but this circumstance did not stop our hero, he began to look persistently and achieved that the girl divorced. Elena recalled their acquaintance this way:

Over time, their happy married life was cemented by the birth of children. Now the couple are raising two daughters and a son. The first daughter was named after her mother, and her son - after her father. The third daughter was named Valentina.

In addition to family ties, Timur and Elena have a working relationship. Since 2006, together they have hosted the TV show "While everyone is at home", and for the last four years they have been broadcasting - "When everyone is at home." Elena is the author and host of her own column "You will have a child", and she is also one of the founders of the all-Russian search engine for adoptive parents "Video Passport", which is specially designed for placing orphans in families of guardians.

How the program "While everyone is at home" changed its name and television channel

To begin with, I would like to note that "While Everyone is Home" is one of the oldest programs on Russian TV, which began to air since 1992. For many years the program was rated. So, at the end of 2016, it was ranked 50th among all Russian television programs. In July 2017, it was included in the Mediascope rating of the 100 most popular programs among Russians over four years old several times.

The conflict between the Kizyakovs and Channel One began because of the heading "You will have a child", for which "Video passports" were created from budget funds. At the end of 2016, the media reported that the presenters and producers of the program "While Everyone Is Home" earn money on the production of video passports for orphans (the cost of one video pass was 100 thousand rubles). In addition, the press raised a fuss over lawsuits. initiated by Kizyakov against charitable organizations that make the same video passports for children from other orphanages, but on their own and with the involvement of their volunteers for 3000 rubles.

Indignation from the heads of charitable foundations, the public and the media forced Channel One to stop working with Timur Kizyakov and his team and close his project with a loud scandal, despite the fact that the trial did not reveal any violations by the creators of the program and the column.

Timur Borisovich Kizyakov with his project was sheltered by the channel "Russia". Since 2017, the program, having changed its name to "When Everybody Is Home", began to air on the Russia 1 TV channel.

Now Timur Kizyakov and his wife have started everything from scratch and continue to lead their updated brainchild, delighting millions of viewers with gatherings with new guests. He continues to come to celebrities on Sundays for morning tea, and we have the opportunity to learn about the life of our idols not from the yellow press, but from the first hand.

Several generations of viewers still remember Yuri Nikolaev as the host of the programs "Morning Mail", "Blue Light", "Song of the Year", "Morning Star", "Good Night, Kids!". When he was at the height of his popularity, his television career was in jeopardy. What happened and what tests forced the TV presenter Nikolaev to reconsider his views on life - in our publication.
