Pelsh Valdis Eyzhenovich is the permanent host of the programs “Guess the Melody” and “Rally”. Born into an international family: his mother is a Jew of Russian origin, his father is Latvian. In his hometown of Riga, he graduated from school in 1983 and, together with a school friend, decided to apply to the most prestigious university in the country. The biography of Valdis Pelsh indicates that after passing the entrance exams, he became a student at the Philosophy Faculty of Moscow State University. During his studies, he takes an active part in the creative life of the university. He played in the plays of modern playwrights, and after that he became a member of the Moscow State University team and participated in several KVN games.
Musical career of Valdis Pelsh
Even during the student days, Valdis and his friend Alexei Kortnev founded the "Accident" group, which quickly gained popularity among student youth. The first hit "Vegetable Tango" convinces the children to continue their creative path after graduation. Instead of working in the field, inherited after distribution, the team shoots their advertising clip and sends it to television. Then the musicians wrote their first album "Trody Pludov" for five long years. Until now, this collection of original and stylish songs is considered the most successful in the history of the group.
Inspired by the popularity and success of the first album, friends in a short time recorded the second, radically different from the debut. The group's new brainchild is a radio show featuring eclectic songs. Mein Lieber Tanz became the most expensive album in the history of Russian rock and roll. In 1997 Valdis Pelsh left "Accident", unable to combine work on television and concert tours. At the moment, he participates only in the anniversary concerts of the group.
Debut of Valdis on television
According to the biography of Valdis Pelsh, the first steps on television as a presenter did not bring him tangible success. A number of programs that were closed after the first releases, and work as a director in the project "Oba-na" - this is the entire track record by 1995. Valdis Pelsh became the creator of four television projects, but his ideas seemed too progressive for that time and were postponed until better times. But this was enough for Vlad Listyev to pay attention to him and made an offer to become the host of a new musical program.
"Guess the melody"
The project, as they say, took off, and the image of the presenter played a big role in this. The lively and emotional Valdis Pelsh makes from his program not just a music quiz, but a real show. Incredible costumes and a lively orchestra, coupled with the presenter's incendiary dances, bring all-Russian love to the program and put it on the first line of the rating of entertainment programs. The interest of viewers is explained by the fact that ordinary people - teachers, engineers, salespeople - become participants in the "Guess the Melody" program. Famous people and popular stars of show business are invited to fight for knowledge of musical compositions only on holidays. The famous hand passes performed by Pelsh have become his trademark for a long time and were happily beaten by many parodists.
"Raffle"
On September 20, 2003, the first edition of the Razigrysh program went on the air. The hosts are Valdis Pelsh and Tatiana Arno. This is a humorous show, the main characters of which are popular stars. The main goal is to play a famous person with the help of his loved ones and colleagues. Over the nine years of the existence of the program, more than a hundred stars fell for the bait and experienced unforgettable moments in their lives. After the first episodes in the program, they began to use eyeliners of the presenters: Valdis and Tatiana talked about how the preparations for the drawing went. To achieve entertainment, the creators of the program sometimes went to the most risky rallies, and several "victims" were banned from broadcasting programs with their participation. There were also legal proceedings demanding compensation for non-pecuniary damage. But in general, the show was kind, and the audience enjoyed watching the behavior of their idols in a non-standard situation.
"King of Ring"
In 2007, Channel One broadcasts a spectacular and exciting show "King of the Ring". Valdis Pelsh becomes one of the participants. Tall and athletic - he could easily become the winner of a television project, but already in the first fight with his rival Pierre Narcisse, he receives serious injuries. A dislocated shoulder, an injury to the arm bone, and a ruptured shoulder bag put an end to a boxing career. The injuries sustained affected the singer's health, and inflammation of the joint provoked an exacerbation of pancreatic necrosis and liver dystrophy.
"Home alone"
In 2009, a new show called "Home Alone" was launched on the STS channel. The main idea of Valdis Pelsh's show is to show how fathers of families cope with everyday problems in the absence of wives. Host Valdis Pelsh comes to visit popular people and "exposes" mothers from the house. He invites fathers to take a test on their knowledge of cooking, wants to know their ability to clean the apartment, but so that at the same time they provide the child with a normal pastime.
Other projects of the showman
Valdis Pelsh, whose biography is full of interesting facts, over the years of work on television, managed to try himself as the host of several programs. On "Pole miracles" in the anniversary edition of the program, he coped with the role of the presenter no worse than Yakubovich, and at the Comedy Club he proved that, along with other comedians, he can make the audience laugh. He had a chance to take part in the intellectual program “What? Where? When? ”, Where he was the captain of the MTS team. For a long time, he occupied a place on the KVN jury, where he often became a target for jokes of young comedians. From 1996 to 1999 he was the host of the Golden Gramophone music ceremony.
Movie roles
The popular presenter has several small but notable film roles. The debut was the role of Pyzhikov in the musical "In a Busy Place". Then the role of Donna Rosa in Old Songs about the Main. In several films, he played himself. The most famous: "Brother 2", "Faster than rabbits", "Cinderella.ru". There were roles in serious films (Demchenko in "Turkish Gambit").
Valdis Eizhenovich Pelsh himself does not consider his shooting in films to be something significant and does not pretend to be a great actor of our time. For him, this is more entertainment than serious activity.
He also treats his vocal abilities with irony, and although he has a baritone bass, he tries not to sing. The only exception is the performance of songs in the shower. In any other case, he pities the children, as they ask him not to sing, because it’s awful.
Valdis Pelsh: family
Acquaintance with his first wife Olga happened at the university. The young student from the Faculty of Law, like Valdis, took part in the theatrical life of the educational institution. The young people quickly became close and in the last year they played a modest wedding. In 1992, Valdis becomes a happy father. The girl was named after her grandfather by the beautiful name of Eigen. The first marriage lasted 17 years and ended in divorce in 2005.
A significant role in the separation was played by the presence on the side of the second family. For several years, Valdis had a relationship with another woman, who managed to become the mother of his daughter Ilva. Olga for a long time closed her eyes to this fact and did not apply for divorce. But life in two families and constant employment on television greatly tired Valdis, and he was the first to go to court with a request to divorce. How did Valdis Pelsh's personal life develop further?
On December 19, 2006, the marriage registration with Svetlana Akimova took place. The girl began her career by sewing outfits for show business stars. Now the wife of Valdis Pelsh owns her own recruiting agency "MajorDom", which is engaged in the selection of service personnel. In 2009, Valdis becomes a father for the third time. Svetlana gives birth to his first son, who is given the sonorous and strong name Einer. In 2012, the second son is born - Ivar.
For some time, Valdis had problems in relations with his first wife. She even forbade him to see his daughter, but, fortunately, all problems were solved safely, and now he maintains warm relations with Olga and regularly sees Eizhena.
Gossip
The biography of Valdis Pelsh is full of intrigues and rumors. The famous showman never advertised his personal life. However, rumors about his novels now and then surfaced on the pages of print media. He was credited with having a love relationship with the young singer Isolde from the Lyceum group. From the first episodes of the Raffle program, rumors began to circulate about his relationship with Tatiana Arno. Valdis himself never confirmed such information, but did not refute it either. As you know, any PR will do for popularity.
The most interesting was the rumor about the host's marriage to the Circassian girl Zaire. A lot of interviews with this mysterious person appeared on the Internet, but no one was able to prove the veracity of the story. Zaira herself says that in 1996 Valdis Pelsh paid her relatives one hundred dollars as a bride price and rode her on a white horse around the neighborhood. This was enough for the marriage to be considered legal in her homeland. To this day, this story periodically pops up, but Valdis refuses to comment, which adds even more mystery to this rumor.
Political path
In 2006 Valdis Pelsh became a member of the Supervisory Board of the Free Russia party. According to the very beginning politician, he was attracted by new interesting ideas and views of the head of the party, Mikhail Borshchevsky. However, he did not intend to join the party, but only wanted to express his support in this way. In 2007, he plans to use his popularity and charisma to attract the electorate to the party. The party was renamed into Civil Force, but a year later it was disbanded, and Valdis left politics. At the moment, he adheres to his own opinion and speaks rather sharply about the current government in Russia and the cases related to the annexation of Crimea. However, with his speeches, he does not call for any action, but simply supports the position of his old friend Andrei Makarevich.
Hobby

This is a very dangerous and exciting form of recreation, fraught with the risk of life. In addition, he is professionally engaged in parachuting and has a "C" category.

His collection of army helmets, which he has been collecting for many years, is of great interest. Various helmets from the First and Second World War make up a large part of the collection. But there are also individual specimens of rare things, raised from the bottom during his dives to great depths.
Another hobby is target shooting. At the same time, the TV presenter is not at all interested in hunting, and prefers to ask for trophy meat from friends of hunters.

By nationality, born in the USSR, Pelsh considers himself a Latvian, but not Russian. In this regard, he insists that his official children have exclusively traditional national names.
Valdis grew up in a very interesting family. His father Eizhen, a Latvian by nationality, worked as a journalist. Mother Ella has been an engineer all her life, supervising important objects in Latvia. The woman considers herself Russian, but does not forget that there are Jewish roots in her family. Valdis's parents met during the construction of one of the most important facilities in the town of Aizkraukle - Plavinas HPP. Ella performed her duties as an engineer, and Eigen came to the hydroelectric power station to highlight an important object in his article, talking about the progress of construction and the date of its commissioning.
The acquaintance became fatal. The young people really liked each other and after some time of communication and dating, they entered into a marriage in which they had two children.
By the time they met, Ella already had a child from her first marriage - Alexander, who, having tried himself as a cameraman, decided that he was not interested in this profession and opened his own business in Moscow. But the younger sister of Valdis Pelsh - Sabrina, who was born in 1980, decided to leave the vastness of Russia and moved to live in the United States.
In the Pelsh family, where there was an ethnic Latvian and a Russian, they tried to instill in their descendants a love for their roots. Therefore, they tried to tell the children not only about their ancestors, but also spoke Russian and Latvian.
But, despite the efforts of his father, Valdis Pelsh admits that due to a long stay in Russia, he begins to forget his second native language, because he rarely uses it. At the moment, the Valdis family is incomplete. His father passed away in 2015, and only a brother and a mother remained in Russia.

Svetlana is a fashion designer by profession; even before meeting Valdis, she sewed a lot to order - mainly for the stellar and circumstellar hangouts, as well as for the Rublev wives. But after the marriage and the birth of her daughter, the vector of her professional activity changed dramatically, and this was due, first of all, to a change in status.
Pelsha's wife- like any caring and loving mother - it turned out to be extremely difficult to find a suitable nanny for her daughter. But a nanny was needed, and so the idea arose of opening a recruiting agency that would guarantee the exceptional qualifications and competence of its employees.

Here they not only find people for certain vacancies, but also teach them the intricacies, subtleties and nuances of the profession, conduct special trainings and courses - the programs of many of them are drawn up by Pelsh's wife personally.
They say that many employers also attend these classes, albeit under the guise of job seekers - here they look closely at the contingent, and the most diligent and attentive often get the desired position or an interesting offer already at the agency's courses.
Among the wives of celebrities, business women are far from uncommon. Own business is successfully managed , and others, but Svetlana Pelsh managed to find such a niche in her professional activity that she not only does not take it away from her family, but also brings this very family concrete practical benefits - thanks to the well-functioning work of her agency, Pelsh finally found their Mary Poppins, and calm and comfort reigned in their house.
