Karl Schmid is a television host originally from Australia.Born in a small town just outside of Melbourne, Karl had the passion from a young age to be a TV host.At a young age Karl left Australia to live in more exotic locations with his parents. First the Fiji Islands, and then New Zealand. But it was in Christchurch where a young Karl first got a real taste for television when he was cast in the role of Beaven in the TVNZ children's drama 'Mel's Amazing Movies' about a young girl and her friends who set out on wild adventures making their own films.Karl's talents quickly caught the eye of the producers of New Zealand's number one weekend children's live TV show, 'What Now' and he soon became a regular contributor to the program.After graduating high school Karl took some time out to explore the world and it wasn't until 2004 after having worked with famous Australian comedian Barry Humphries (a.k.a Dame Edna Everage) that Karl returned to television screens, this time in Australia as the host of TV1's Entertainment Daily - a roundup Hollywood and Show business style magazine program. This relaunched Karl's hosting career and he has since gone on to work across Australia's television networks and has also appeared on UK television. He has interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment today and continues to prove himself as one of Australia's top young television hosts.In 2008 Karl relocated to Los Angeles where he has been a regular host to TV Guide Network's Big Movie Premiere specials as well as a contributor and guest host to TV Guide Network's Hollywood 411.
