Gennady Khazanov brought to tears the star of stand-up because of a dispute about humor

Russian comedian Karina Meyhanajyan spoke about an unpleasant collision with People’s Artist Gennady Khazanov during the filming of a television show for the Day of Laughter. According to the participant of the project “Women’s stand-up”, the famous satirist spoke sharply about modern humor and questioned the creative value of stand-up. The conversation was so unpleasant that the girl could not contain her emotions.

Meyhanajyan tried to explain to Khazanov how modern stand-up comedians differ from traditional pop artists and why their performances also require serious preparation. However, according to her, the interlocutor showed no interest in the arguments and continued to criticize her chosen genre. The girl perceived this attitude as a depreciation of her own profession.

The comedian told about this story in an interview with Karen Adamyan. Meyhanajyan admitted that after a conversation with Khazanov broke down in tears and discussed the incident with friends for a long time. At the same time, the public reaction of the satirist himself to her story did not follow.
