‘Jeopardy!’: Aaron Rodgers to guest host an upcoming episode

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a good shot at playing in the Super Bowl this year. But would that be a bigger thrill than hosting “Jeopardy!”?

The former Cal star revealed on Tuesday that he will be among the parade of guest hosts on the popular game show in the wake of Alex Trebek’s death.

“They’re doing some guest hosting spots and it’s going to be released here pretty soon,” Rodgers said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “I had the opportunity to do one of those.”

Rodgers is no stranger to “Jeopardy!” having appeared on a celebrity edition in 2015, when he defeated astronaut Mark Kelly and Kevin O’Leary of “Shark Tank.” (That UC Berkeley education apparently served him well). He also was a big fan of the beloved host who died in November, telling McAfee, “One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek.”

No word yet on when Rodgers will appear on “Jeopardy!” The final episode to feature Trebek aired last Friday. On Monday, the all-time “Jeopardy!” champ, Ken Jennings, made his debut as a guest host. Jennings reportedly has filmed six week’s worth of episodes.

Of course, Rodgers has other things to tend to. He’ll lead the Packers against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC divisional round of the NFL Playoffs on Saturday.
