Aaron Rodgers is such a fan of Jeopardy! that he not only wants a two-week stint as host of the show but is hoping to land a permanent role. He even shared what he can bring to the game in case he gets the job.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback admitted that he is not shy at all about saying that I want the job. He even already figured out how he can stay committed to both football and hosting.
Jeopardy! and her stint behind the podium is reminding her of her late husband Jay Monahan. She talked to People about the new gig, how the production staff has made life easy on her, and how much Monahan loved the game show. He certainly wasn’t alone as millions tune in to the program every week. However, according to Couric, the 42-year-old was a rare talent. She believes he could have been a strong contender if given the opportunity. Back in 1998, Monahan died of colon cancer. He had been adamant about getting people screened for the disease. This two-week stint on the show supports Stand Up 2 Cancer, an organization that her husband founded, and they will be matching the winner’s earnings to donate to pancreatic cancer research. That disease took the life of Alex Trebek last year.

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak was in hot water with some viewers after he mocked a contestant’s speech impediment during a recent episode. Things began to develop this week after some posts on social media showed the longtime game show staple ribbing one of the hopefuls. Chris Brimble is one of the people who was trying to take home the top prize on Monday’s show. The contestant has a lisp and viewers noticed it even more after the host’s teasing. Seajack asked Brimble what he did for a living and then after the response quipped “I thee.” Now, some of the production staff and audience laughed, but people watching at home felt like it was in poor taste. No matter what his feelings on the treatment were, Brimble did manage to rake in $12, 250 in prize money, so he probably enjoyed himself despite some embarrassment. Check out the clip down below:
