For his activities in the field of culture, Prokhorov was awarded the Golden Ostap Prize, he also has a medal for Merit to the Fatherland, II degree. Currently he is in charge of the House of Scientists in St. Petersburg.
Biography
Sergey Anatolyevich Prokhorov was born in 1958 in Leningrad. Like most boys of those years, he dreamed of a real "male" profession, so after graduating from school he entered the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute, where he was educated as an engineer. At the university, Sergei was an active participant in the Student Club, which organized various events for young people. These were mostly discos and he was a disc jockey there.
Then there was military service. The Siberian city of Omsk became his home for two years. True, he was lucky here - he served in the division headquarters: he drew up maps for exercises and completed documents. There was also hazing, but Sergei did not want to leave the service - he liked it there. Probably, this is all thanks to the humor and easy character.
Career
After the army, Prokhorov worked at a research institute, where he had the opportunity to show his creative abilities. As the showman himself said in an interview, it was always fun in his family, and everyone was joking. This is probably why he fell in love with humor and everything connected with it so much.
He worked part-time at the Polytech - he spent the evenings "For those over 30". These were very funny discos, almost in the dark, with loud music, with different entertaining numbers.
At this time, he began to play in KVN, and since 1985 he became the host of the city competitions of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club.
In 1987, without any acting or journalistic education, he became the host of entertainment programs on Leningrad television.
And in contrast, in 1991 he was appointed director of the House of Scientists, where he still works.
In 1993, a special period began in the life of Sergei Anatolyevich: he became the host of the Bluff Club TV show and has remained its unchanged host for fifteen years. At first, the program was broadcast on television in St. Petersburg, and then relocated to the channel "Russia-Culture". This is one of the few programs that is not a repetition of Western entertainment TV programs. Over the years, almost all celebrities have visited Prokhorov on television, and each then with pleasure recalled the friendly atmosphere and the benevolent presenter.
As for the House of Scientists, Sergei Anatolyevich says that it has always been a center of culture. Writers, poets, bards performed here, mono performances were staged. This is in addition to scientific sections, where they read lectures about everything in the world.
Personal life
It is strange that there is very little information on the Internet about such a famous person. About the Prokhorov family it is said: married, two children.
Although in one of the interviews he himself said that he is beginning to appreciate loved ones more and more, and prefers to spend all his free time with his family.
