Aaron Rodgers learned the hard way that not even ‘Jeopardy!’ participants know just as much about his NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, as he does.
The NFL quarterback has been hosting the popular game show all week as he is still looking for a permanent replacement for Alex Trebek, who died in November after a long battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
The footballer was struck with a sobering moment about what the contestants knew about his team early in the night, or rather not. The second clue of the game was a $ 400 one from the ‘Title Waves’ category.
In a video from the game posted on Twitter, the call reads: “In the 1960s, these Midwesterners earned 5 NFL Championship trophies.”

After Rodgers finished reading, he was stunned when none of the three contestants even buzzed to give a guess.

“Green Bay Packers!” replied an incensed Rodgers with his arms outstretched after the time ran out.
From there, he read a $ 600 follow-up instruction on another sports team and ‘joked’ oh, you know the one ‘, when a constant immediately got it right.
Viewers at home were quick to take to Twitter to notice how amused they were at the moment, and some even praised Rodgers’ performance as host and compared it to that of Trebek.
“I love @ AaronRodgers12 as the host, he has the same snark level as Alex!” one person wrote.
“Green Bay Packers! Come on participants! This is the most fun I’ve had to see Jeopardy! Aaron will be back soon!” another wrote.
“Listen, as far as I’m concerned, Aaron Rodgers can do what he wants. And I do not even like the Packers. That’s how much I like Aaron Rodgers,” a third noticed.

Unfortunately, Rodgers’ time behind the podium will come to an end on Friday when his host presentation is over. However, the footballer has recently hinted that he will not turn down the role if it is offered to him permanently.
The Green Bay Packers full-back spoke on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Radio program “The Pat McAfee Show” about his ever-growing hair and beard. Like many, Rodgers grew his hair during the coronavirus quarantine, as many barber shops were closed.
“I decided to clean it up a bit. There was a conversation. I think there were a lot of people who wanted me to shave on the skin … I do not do it much, but if it’s a ‘requires that you can achieve the full-time concert, no problem with it at all, no problem at all with it,’ he said.

When the host asks if the statement was the start of his campaign to take over for Trebek forever, Rodgers doubled his stance.
‘I would like to host’ Jeopardy! “Yes,” he said.

So far, the popular games show has not announced any plans to install a permanent host, but rather to continue to host celebrity guests. However, fans recently appealed to actor “Reading Rainbow” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” Levar Burton.
