Quizmaster Marc Fennell says:

“Look, I’m not gonna lie. There is a perverse joy in watching objectively talented people – ARIA winning musicians, brilliant journalists, and Logie-winning actors – all face the spotlight. The squirming is real. But what’s even more fun is watching them truly embrace their favourite nerdy subjects. I’ve said all along that Mastermind is a celebration of Australia’s nerds. And I love watching some of Australia’s best-known faces revel in that nerdiness”.
