'''Mike Fischetti''' (born 6 August 1983 in Destin, Florida) is an [[United States|American]] television personality. He hosted the children's television show [[SMart]], which aired on [[CBBC]].

==Career==
In May 2003, he graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design and quickly put his talents to use as a props and set designer for theatre and TV. He moved to London, England, where, between 2005 and 2007, he worked behind the scenes on [[BBC]] Children's programmes such as [[Xchange (TV series)|Xchange]], [[Top of the Pops Reloaded]], [[Mighty Truck of Stuff]], [[Level Up (UK TV series)|Level Up]] and [[TMi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blackburnsachsassociates.com/profile.asp?ClientID=242|title=Mike Fischetti|accessdate=2009-10-11|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609192734/http://www.blackburnsachsassociates.com/profile.asp?ClientID=242|archivedate=2011-06-09}}</ref>

When the [[SMart]] team were looking for someone to present a feature based around America, Fischetti seemed the obvious choice. His role on the show grew into a regular feature in which he was presented with challenges to create works of art in a short time frame. Having quickly built up a good on-screen rapport with [[Kirsten O'Brien]] and [[Mark Speight]], he was asked to take over the main co-host's role following the death of Speight in 2008, fronting the new series with O'Brien. From December 2009 to January 2010 he appeared in the pantomime [[Jack and the Beanstalk]] at the [[Malvern Theatres|Malvern Theatre]], alongside [[Colin Baker]] and [[Sarah Thomas (actress)|Sarah Thomas]].

In 2011 Fischetti returned to London to lend his expertise to the multi-level TV project Deadly Art, which is linked to the CBBC show [[Deadly (UK TV series)|Deadly 60]].
