After graduating in 2013 from Kyiv National Economic University with a degree in economics, Skichko later began to transition into more mature roles on television while hosting the show "Pidyom" on Novyi Kanal from 2012 to 2013. In 2017, Skichko became one of the three cohosts of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv. This was the first time ever that a trio of male hosts hosted the show, and the first time since its inaugural edition in 1956 that a woman was not part of the hosting team.
