Kives' catch phrase was used in advertising shows known as what?
As seen on TV As Seen On TV is a generic nameplate for products advertised on television in the United States for direct-response mail-order through a toll-free telephone number. "As Seen On TV" advertisements, known as infomercials, are usually 30-minute shows or two-minute spots during commercial breaks. These products can range from kitchen, household, automotive, cleaning, health, and beauty products, to exercise and fitness products, books, or to toys and games for children. Typically the packaging for these items includes a standardized red seal in the shape of a CRT television screen with the words "AS SEEN ON TV" in white, an intentional allusion to the logo of "TV Guide" magazine.
KVN KVN (Russian: КВН , an abbreviation of Клуб весёлых и находчивых , "Klub vesyólykh i nakhódchivykh" or "Ka-Ve-En", "Club of the Funny and Inventive People") is a Russian humour TV show and competition where teams (usually college students) compete by giving funny answers to questions and showing prepared sketches, that originated in the Soviet Union. The programme was first aired by the First Soviet Channel on November 8, 1961. Eleven years later, in 1972, when few programmes were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and anti-Soviet and banned "KVN". The show was revived fourteen years later during the Perestroika era in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running TV programmes on Russian Television. It also has its own holiday on November 8, the birthday of the game, which "KVN" players celebrate every year since it was announced and widely celebrated for the first time in 2001.
