He was named in 2005 among the most influential figures in contemporary Russia, in a survey conducted by independent polling agency The Levada Centre. Popular since the days of the USSR, Petrosyan was the host of TV variety show Crooked Mirror.
In recent years Petrosyan became a meme representing unfunny, lame comedy for clueless and older people.
