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.
