The Chase's Paul Sinha vs John Campbell in Kiwi quiz on Breakfast. / TVNZ
The Chase star and long-time comedian Paul Sinha is in New Zealand and to mark the occasion, he took on one of NZ's favourite broadcasters, John Campbell in a Kiwi quiz.
Sinha - aka. The Sinnerman - is in town for the International Comedy Festival where he's making his NZcomedy debut.
Appearing on Breakfast, which Campbell started co-hosting this week, the pair faced off in a Chase-style quiz packed full of New Zealand-based questions.
Dan Faitaua played the role of quiz master, giving each quizzer one minute on the clock. And while Campbell rattled of his wealth of Kiwi knowledge with ease, thing weren't quite so simple for the Sinnerman.
He was instantly stumped by the word "jandal" in the first question, prompting Campbell to give his quizmate a reassuring hug.

Sinha was also totally thrown by the second question - "What's the Kiwi word for trail mix" - reverting to a default answer of "Taika Waititi", to which Campbell replied: "Well, we all want to eat Taika, don't we?"
At the end of it all, Hayley Holt said: "I feel like that might have been a little bit of a set up", and Dan Faitaua answered for all of us with: "You think??"
Paul Sinha is performing in the NZ International Comedy Festival, which runs from May 2 to 26.
Campbell took over hosting Breakfast on Monday, replacing Jack Tame who has moved to weekly politics show Q+A where he is replacing Corin Dann who is leaving TVNZ.
