Aaron Rodgers will finally be in front of people rather than behind them starting next week. Because that is when he will begin his highly anticipated stint as guest host on “Jeopardy!” with episodes set to air next week.
Yup, it’s time for Rodgers, a noted “Jeopardy!” superfan, to get his shot. The Green Bay Packers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP will serve a two-week stint as guest host of the iconic quiz show. Rodgers’ debut will come in Monday’s episode.
“One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek,” Rodgers says. “They’re doing some guest hosting spots, and it’s going to be released here pretty soon, but I had the opportunity to do one of those.”
“Jeopardy” has been cycling through a slate of guest hosts following the airings of the late Alex Trebek’s final batch of episodes in early January. “Jeopardy! All-Time Champion” contestant Ken Jennings first faced the formidable task of filling the beloved host’s shoes. Others followed, including Katie Couric and talk show host Dr. Oz.
Pretty sure one of his answers was Mehmet.
The correct question would be, “what is Dr. Oz’s first name.?”
