Who is Karl Jeno Schmid?

Karl Jeno Schmid is an Australian Television Host. He has worked for TVNZ, TV1, BBC, ITV, and in the US, TV Guide Network and TLC.

At a young age Schmid left Australia to live in more exotic locations with his parents. First the Fiji Islands, and then New Zealand. 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. Schmid became a regular host of the New Zealand weekend children's live television show, What Now.

After graduating Schmid took some time out to travel and it was not until 2004 after having worked with Australian comedian Barry Humphries that Schmid returned to television screens, this time in Australia as the host of TV1's Entertainment Daily – a roundup Hollywood and show business style magazine programme.

In 2008 Schmid relocated to Los Angeles where he has been a regular host to TV Guide Network's Big Movie Premiere specials as well as hosting What's on DVD and Hollywood 411. Most recently he could be seen on TLC, as the main anchor for their live coverage of the Royal Wedding in London.
