GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will guest host a future episode of "Jeopardy." The news came to light during Rodgers' weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday," Jan. 12.
"One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek," Rodgers told McAfee during the show. "I'm excited about the opportunity."
According to Packers.com, Rodgers is a huge fan of the longtime running game show. Back in 2015, he beat "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary and retired astronaut Mark Kelly. By winning, he earned a $50,000 donation to his charity of choice, the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer).
