We knew Jeopardy! would pull in big-name stars to guest host, but the best football player alive? Didn’t see that coming.
Rodgers is a wizard on the field, and his personality is interesting. He’s smart, cool, and awkward. Jeopardy!‘s viewers will love him.
Just make sure you don’t enjoy the Rodgers episode too much. At some point, Jeopardy! will name the successor to the great Alex Trebek. Unfortunately, political hack George Stephanopoulos remains one of the reported options. The Los Angeles Times also named Katie Couric, Steve Kornacki, Mayim Bialik, and executive producer Mike Richards as possibilities.
While I’m actually very good at Jeopardy!, I’m even better at predictions. Here’s one: Aaron Rodgers will arrive on the Jeopardy! stage as a two-time Super Bowl champion.
Mr personality
I’ll tune in to see if Aaron makes a fool of himself or not.
New host has to be woke-approved, so of the name’s mentioned, it’s probably Bialik. I’ve always thought Levar Burton would be great, but he’s probably too old at this point.
