Why would they pick him? Because he won "celebrity" jeopardy. He's a football player that was smart enough to win against then-astronaut Mark Kelly (currently a U.S. senator from Arizona) and “Shark Tank” panelist Kevin O’Leary. So let that sink in. Aaron Rodgers... a football player... won against an astronaut.
That would be why he has won the opportunity to host Jeopardy.

Kevin O'leary would have been a very interesting host.

I still don't understand why people watch jeopardy which is a great game and then stop watching because of the host who has very little to do with the talent of the contestants. Are we so enthralled with celebrity that the actual game is secondary?

I saw the show only once this past week

I did not know who this guy was.

I thought he was talking in a sort of Matthew McConaughey way.

I also thought he was quite handsome — OK, I’ll just say it — I thought he was sexy.

He might be too sexy for the show. . .I think there is a song about that. . .something like, I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for the show. . .

Could he be too distracting?

Lol, you might be right. But unless they can tape a year's worth of shows before "two-a-days" start this summer, he will belong to the Packers and be unavailable.

No worries about that, as we have seen players play 2 sports which is much harder to do. Game show could work the schedule with ease if it’s a great fit and good for ratings They already have that figured out or they wouldn’t waste their time. Game shows usually tape several shows in a day anyways

If the host is very annoying with a voice that sounds like nails on a chalk board like Katie Couric it becomes too distracting to watch. The host sets the tone for the game.

You could be right. I know that Wheel of Fortune only tapes two days per month. Still, I wonder if the NFL would be up for AR missing anything at all. I assumed the players taped the commercials during the off season.


I like him. I think his humor will come out, he'd become more at ease, and he certainly is easy to look at.

It took 2 days to film Aaron's 10 days worth of shows. Also, it only takes 46 days to film a years worth of Jeopardy. I think Aaron could handle 2 careers! You're doing great, Aaron!!

Really? Katie Couric has been on TV news forever, earned awards, has been on all the networks. Evidently her voice may only effect either a minority or those that don't like her politics. Trebek always said it's about the game and the contestants and not about the host. Was he wrong?

I think the NFL could use some positive PR.

Yes. Judging by the millions of posts on the Jeopardy FB page I’d say he was very wrong. I care nothing about Katie’s politics I did not like watching her.

She added nothing to the show, at least some of them are funny.
