Yevgeny Petrosyan

Yevgeny Petrosyan (born September 16, 1945 in Baku) is one of the USSR's best-known comedians who has been entertaining Russians for more than four decades. Born into a mixed Armenian and Jewish family, Petrosyan formerly hosted his own television program on "Rossia" channel, called "Smekhopanorama" (Laugh-panorama). There is a growing movement to oppose a low-quality slapstick propagated by Petrosyan, and in 2005 there were public protests demanding his retirement from active performing ( [http://www.pronline.ru/news/show/1886] , [http://www.svoboda.org/ll/cult/1105/ll.110105-6.asp] ). His wife Elena Stepanenko is also a popular comedian.
