quizmaster
Trivia game host
A quizmaster is the host or moderator of a quiz show or trivia competition—the person who reads questions, judges answers, and keeps score.
The term appears most often in British English: The quizmaster announced the final round.
American English tends toward "host" or "emcee" for the same role.
