Mikhail Zelensky is one of the few TV presenters who manage to deliver even the most unpleasant news or situation intelligently. He is, first of all, an analyst, and not a journalist, looking for “hot” topics and showing the weaknesses of his guests, and this is his main advantage over his “colleagues”.
Not all talk show hosts manage to make their brainchild interesting, but not vulgar and scandalous. Mikhail Zelensky succeeded - his broadcast "Live" was topical, but did not cause a negative reaction either from the audience, nor from the participants or critics.

Who is his wife and does he have children?
