Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Skichko (Ukrainian: Олександр Олександрович Скічко) (born 28 April 1991) is a Ukrainian comedian, actor and television presenter. He was born in Cherkasy. Oleksandr hosted Eurovision Song Contest 2017 alongside Volodymyr Ostapchuk and Timur Miroshnychenko.[1] It was the first time that the Eurovision Song Contest was hosted by three men, and the second time, after the 1956 edition when a single man presented, that the contest didn't feature a female presenter.[1]
Following the contest, Skichko became a contestant on the 5th season of Tantsi z zirkamy, Ukraine's version of Dancing with the Stars which is based on the format of the original British TV series Strictly Come Dancing.[2]
