What is KVN? Here's the Wikipedia information:

KVN (Russian: КВН, an abbreviation of Russian: Клуб Весёлых и Находчивых, Klub Vesyolykh i Nakhodchivykh", "Club of the cheerful and sharp-witted" people) is a Russian humor TV show where Russian post-secondary student teams compete by giving funny answers to questions, improvisations, prepared sketches. The program has been aired by Channel One since 1961. Seven years later, when a few programs were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensively anti-Soviet and banned the KVN for fourteen years. The show was revived during the Perestroika era, in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running programs on Russian TV.

KVN reach is impressive. According to the official site of KVN Union:
over 5 million live spectactors annually watch how more than 40,000 participants organized into more than 3,000 regularly competing teams from
more than 100 cities play game of KVN.
