His pub quiz team won a weekend in Paris in April 2001 after competing in the national competition Jumbo Quiz.

Other television appearances include The National Lottery People's Quiz (2007) where he came second in the grand final, University Challenge (1996-7) where he reached the quarter-finals as captain of the Glamorgan University team, and Are You an Egghead?

Since 2009 he has been one of the "chasers" on the ITV game show The Chase as "The Beast" and from late February 2022 rejoined the Australian version of the show.

Labbett's team, the Rugby Boys, won BBC Four's Only Connect in 2009.

Labbett is one of the "chasers" in the ITV teatime quiz The Chase, first broadcast in 2009 and hosted by Bradley Walsh.

In the show, his nickname is "The Beast", a two-pronged nickname referencing both his stature and his surname (Labbett sounds like the French la bête, meaning "the beast").

He also appeared as one of the seven chasers on the Australian version of The Chase on the Seven Network, alongside fellow UK chasers Anne Hegerty and Shaun Wallace.

His weakest subjects are horse racing and soap operas.

He noted that the American version posed far more difficulties for him, as American game shows typically allow far more competent contestants than British or Australian shows.
