Aaron Rodgers was amusingly reminded of a controversial Green Bay Packers moment on his debut as a guest host of “Jeopardy!”
In the episode that aired Monday, Packers quarterback Rodgers asked contestants to identify the daytime TV personality who, upon accepting a Lifetime Achievement Emmy, said, “Just take … 10 seconds to think about the people who have you. helped to become who you are. “
The answer is Mr. Rogers.
But one contestant, Scott, boldly wrote, “Who wanted to kick that field goal?” – referring to Which call during the Packers’ NFC Championship clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rodgers chuckled at the joke.
“That’s a great question, should be correct,” he replied. “But unfortunately for today’s game that is not correct.”
Rodgers later reflected on the joke and the experience of filming the game show during an Instagram Live with his fiancé, actor Shailene Woodley.
“A little insight, as a host on my stage I get to see what they write. So I saw him start writing something about kicking the field goal and then I had to get to my spot and I didn’t see the rest of his writing [but] I knew there was going to be some kind of humor, ”he said.
“I’m still not sure why we kicked that field goal,” added Rodgers.
The quarterback also revealed he had no intention of quitting football, but he wouldn’t rule out hosting the game show again.
“I just won MVP. I still have a lot in the tank. I’m still going to play and I would like to say “Jeopardy!” at the same time, ”he said. “‘Danger!’ films five shows a day, 46 days a year, that’s 230 episodes, and I work six months a year, so the other six months I’d have time to film probably 46 days, I guess.
