Television has a strong position in the everyday life of an ordinary person. After a hard day, the hand automatically reaches for the remote control itself. A huge number of channels for every taste are offered to the attention of the viewer. It is difficult to single out particularly popular programs, each of them has its own target audience.
However, there are many programs that everyone likes to watch, without exception. These primarily include humorous shows. The greatest pleasure to viewers of the former Soviet Union brings KVN. Ekaterina Skulkina, Vladimir Zelensky, Pavel Volya, Garik Martirosyan and many other great artists owe their success to this particular entertainment program. KVN has been pleasing its viewers for quite some time.
Humor as an engine of fame
Many producers felt that the format of just such light, humorous, calm programs is very interesting to the audience. Following the "Club of Cheerful and Resourceful" other original shows were published. These include programs such as Our Russia, Laugh the Comedian, Comedy Battle, Comedy Club, Give Youth, and many others. In them, viewers with surprise and joy met already familiar participants. However, it was precisely after KVN that many people were puzzled by the questions about whether Misha Galustyan was married, how old Yekaterina Skulkina was, whether Garik âBulldogâ Kharlamov had a second half, etc.
Most of the admirers of talented youth were delighted with the male teams âComedy Clubâ and âOur Russiaâ. Many were looking forward to when the female counterpart of these humorous programs will be released. Finally, to the joy of the whole beautiful half of the CIS countries, the new show âComedy Wumenâ was released. It was this entertaining âproductâ that gave viewers a chance to once again enjoy the fantastic artistry of bright and already familiar girls, among whom Ekaterina Skulkina stands out. The biography of this charming lady is closely connected with the scene. In this case, the first "haven" of her talent was KVN.
Childhood and family
It's no secret that the territory of the Soviet Union stretched hundreds of thousands of kilometers, enclosing numerous cities, towns and small villages in its "embrace". It was in one of such settlements called Yoshkar-Ola that Ekaterina Skulkina was born.
The biography of the future famous KVN-schitsa began on the third of the first summer month of 1976. Her parents are people completely far from creativity and the scene. The girlâs dad was engaged in a real manâs business, which has long been considered a military craft. He retired with the rank of military general. Mom taught students Russian language.
From childhood, Catherine was interested in learning everything new and unknown. She attended numerous circles and sections. For all the ten years that Catherine spent in the Lyceum No. 11 of her native city, she was an indispensable âpieceâ of every school performance, creative evenings and âskitsâ. In addition, she loved to please her loved ones with her own performances.
In the footsteps of Hippocrates
In 1993, a medical school located in the city of Yoshkar-Ola, hospitably received a new stream of freshmen, including Ekaterina Skulkina. The girlâs biography is replenished with information about new sciences and subjects, which are combined under the general name âMedical businessâ.
After three years of hard study, she gets a job in the surgery department of the local hospital. However, after a while, the girl decides to continue her studies and leaves for Kazan. This event occurred in 1997. It was then that Kazan Medical University acquired a new student of the dental faculty, which became Ekaterina Skulkina. The biography of the future follower of Hippocrates is replenished with new facts: in 1999, the girl became the bright leader of the university KVN team.
Dentists play in KVN
In the future, she improves her theoretical medical skills in an internship. After completing the practice, Catherine improves her medical qualifications in residency. At the same time, her creative career is developing rapidly. In 2003, the Kazan team âFour Tatarsâ gains a new captain, who became already known in the city KVN participant Ekaterina Skulkina.
The girl confidently leads her âcheerful and resourcefulâ colleagues âthrough thorns to the starsâ. In 2003, the success of the team was recognized by the First League of KVN, where young and bright participants beat all their rivals and became champions. Kazan guys, led by a dentist, did not stop there, and in the same year they âblew upâ Jurmala with their performance, taking one of the main prizes - the Big KiViN in Zolotoy.
The next stage of KVN
A year later, for the team of âFour Tatarinesâ the path was opened along which they went to the stage of the Higher League. In 2004, the team brilliantly performs on stage and passes into the semifinals of the entertainment program. A year later, stubborn guys win the favor of the public and judges and go to the finals.
Their rivals in the last round of the Major League were the Moscow Megapolis team, the PE national team from neighboring Belarus and the Sukhumi cocktail Narta from Abkhazia. Having passed through a greeting, two warm-ups, a breeze and a music contest, Four Tatarines took second place. The team beat Minsk colleagues and lost in a fair fight to the national teams of Moscow and Sukhumi.
New beginnings
In 2006, Ekaterina Skulkina was invited to the comedy television show âComedy Wumenâ. This project quickly won the hearts of viewers, and the ironic and slightly harsh humor of the girl was a special âhighlightâ of this program. Then Natalya Yeprikyan (a member of the Moscow national team of the KVN Megapolis) âluredâ Catherine into another show - âMade in Wumenâ.
A huge number of viewers watch with interest and rapture a bright and expressive girl, whose talent is recognized by numerous critics. She became a role model. A symbol of female strength and masculinity: â... he will stop the galloping horse, enter the burning hutâ - this is all Ekaterina Skulkina. Height, weight, favorite books, dishes and music - viewers are trying to find out all the detailed information about their favorite. By the way, the girl does not hide her parameters. Her height is 180 cm, and weight - 94 kg.
Combining projects
Along with the dizzying success of the women's program, the Kazan "dentist" also does not forget its KVN team. In 2006, the girl and her team, âFour Tatars,â were invited to participate in the forty-fifth anniversary concert of KVN. Then for a while the team disappears from the TV screens. Each participant is trying to build their future. In 2010, Ekaterina Skulkina made her debut on the stage. Her first performance is called "Happy Number", which was later renamed to "Looking for a wife." Inexpensive! â
A year later, the Kazan team âFour Tatarsâ in the same composition was invited to the half-century anniversary of KVN. This celebration was held in Jurmala, and the âFour Tatarsâ took with them home of the Big KiViN in the Dark. This year was also marked by the transition of Ekaterina Skulkina to the team of the "Team of the XX century."
One cannot fail to note the successful debut of the stately beauty in the film industry. More recently, the reckless comedy âWhat Men Doâ was released on the big screens. In this tape, Catherine flashed brightly.
Personal life
Currently, the career of a young talented artist is at the peak of its development. However, a huge role in her life is played by the family. The personal life of Ekaterina Skulkina is not covered by a veil of secrecy. But it cannot be said that all the events from the life of a television star are put on public display. The husband of Ekaterina Skulkina - Denis - is a person quite far from creativity and the scene. However, he strongly supports any undertakings of his second half. The couple has a son Oleg.
