Issa Schultz (born 1 March 1984)[1] is a British-Australian television quiz personality best known for being one of the "chasers" on The Chase Australia, where he is nicknamed "The Supernerd".[2]

In addition to his current role on The Chase Australia, Schultz is also an eleven-time winner of the Australian Quizzing Championships (2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024)[3][4] and seven-time Pairs champion (2012–17, 2020). He also appeared on The Rich List, where he won $200,000 in 2009, as well as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and The Einstein Factor.[2][5]

His name Issa is an Arabic version of the name "Jesus", which he was named after a best friend of his parents when they worked in Qatar in the 1970s.[6] Schultz and his family moved to Australia from Britain in 1995.[7] They settled in Tewantin, Queensland and Schultz attended Noosa District State High School. He was one of the four school captains in 2001.[8]

In 2017, Schultz appeared as a celebrity contestant on Hell's Kitchen Australia.[9][10]

Schultz placed 23rd in the 2020 World Quizzing Championships,[11] and has been the top-ranked Australian competitor ten times since 2011.[12]

In March 2022 he stood in for Anne Hegerty in ITV's Beat the Chasers after Hegerty tested positive for COVID-19.[13]

Schultz also competed in the twentieth series of Dancing with the Stars in early 2023. He was paired with professional Tasmanian dancer Lily Cornish.[14][15]

In November 2024 Schultz represented Australia at the III Quiz Olympiad in Spain.
