Aaron Rodgers didn’t take for granted his opportunity to host the legendary game show “Jeopardy!”
Instead of breaking down film of defenses, the Green Bay Packers quarterback went back to the tape to watch former host Alex Trebek, who passed away last year.
Rodgers told Rob Demovsky of ESPN that he studied for “hours and hours” and took “pages and pages” of notes to prepare for his two-week stint as a guest host of the show. Rodgers’ 10 episodes, which were filmed in February, begin airing on Monday, April 5.
“I watched hours and hours and hours of episodes,” Rodgers told ESPN.
