Yakov shares the pivotal moments that shaped his career, including how he intuitively knew that comedy was his calling, despite his parents' skepticism about making a living in the field-especially in the U.S.
Yakov recounts how his talent for making people laugh led him to an unexpected opportunity on Russian cruise ships, a turning point that would eventually lead him to the American dream. Performing for international audiences while living in a communal apartment in Russia, Yakov never imagined that one day he would have his own cabin and the chance to bring his parents along for the ride. The story takes an interesting twist when Yakov describes how a cruise ship captain recognized his talent and insisted on having him perform on the ship, even offering up his own cabin to make it happen. This experience sparked a realization for Yakov about the rewards of talent and hard work in a capitalist society, ultimately influencing his decision to pursue his dreams in America.
Join us as Yakov Smirnoff reveals how these life-changing experiences on a Russian cruise ship laid the foundation for his incredible career in comedy and led him to become a celebrated figure in American entertainment.
