Zelensky had played a president on television and now he's getting a shot at his biggest role yet.
Ukrainian comedian Volodymyr Zelensky has won a landslide victory in the country's presidential election, exit polls suggest.
BBC reports the polls give the political newcomer, who dominated the first round of voting three weeks ago, more than 70% support.
Zelensky challenged president Petro Poroshenko who has admitted defeat.
The apparent result is being seen as a huge blow to Poroshenko and a rejection of Ukraine's establishment.
