Joe Buck has announced that he’ll be one of the many guest hosts on “Jeopardy!,” which will put him in the running to potentially become the full-time host.
The 51-year-old is a sportscaster who’s worked with Fox Sports and has been the main voice of the NFL and the MLB since the 1996 World Series. His father is Jack Buck, also a well-known sports broadcaster.
His episodes are reported to air sometime in the summer, but it hasn’t been confirmed whether he’ll be hosting for just a week, or two weeks, according to the New York Post.
NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers To Host Jeopardy, Social Media Goes Wild

Aaron Rodgers had big shoes to fill when he replaced Brett Favre as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback, but that might be nothing compared to his next undertaking. The NFL star will guest host an upcoming episode of “Jeopardy!”
“One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek,” Rodgers, 37, said on “The Pat McAfee Show” Tuesday. “They’re doing some guest-hosting spots. It’s going to be released here very soon but I have the opportunity to be one of those.”
Much of social media had a similar reaction to McAfee upon hearing the news. Rodgers is among the NFL’s most popular players, and the Packers have as passionate of a fan base as any NFL team.
LOS ANGELES Jeopardy! will air its first episodes this week with guest host and game-show veteran Ken Jennings.
The show resumed production at the end of November with a series of interim guest hosts, producers said, following the death of longtime host Alex Trebek. Sharing this stage with Alex Trebek was one of the greatest honors of my life, Jennings said in a promotional video for Monday s show. Like all Jeopardy! fans, I miss Alex very much.
