Sebastian Jacoby has been appearing in the ARD quiz show “Gefragt – Gejagt” since 2013. There he appears as a hunter under the name “Quiz God” and challenges the candidates properly. But behind the scenes, Jacoby has a lot more to offer than just his enormous knowledge of quizzes.

It is no coincidence that Jacoby is interested in curling. His family has been practicing the sport for the third generation, which is why he was on the ice as a competitive athlete for years. He took part in the U21 World Championships three times and won the bronze medal in 2007. Away from the curling track, Jacoby is active in football and badminton.
