Though Rodgers is a Super Bowl champion, nine-time Pro Bowl selection, and three-time MVP, hosting Jeopardy! is seemingly up there for Aaron. The quarterback even called it a “#dreamjob2”.
“I’m hosting my favorite game show ever @jeopardy starting tonight for the next two weeks!!!” Rodgers said in an Instagram post. “💪🏼💪🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 check your local listings for show times in your area #dreamjob2#alextrebekforever#turdferguson…”
“Now I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of amazing things,” Rodgers said. “But winning Celebrity Jeopardy! and getting to share the stage with the legend Alex Trebek, is something I will never forget. Alex was such a gentleman, so smart, so precise, I was in awe. And I will work hard to honor his legacy.”
This is all also for a good cause, as Rodgers is again partnering with a non-profit organization he supports, the North Valley Community Fund (NVCF), giving back to small businesses in and near his hometown. The fund’s site states that “Rodgers, the Chico native…contributed $1 million to the fund to help small, locally owned businesses in Butte County. Eighty businesses received significant help in the first round of funding.” The fund also tweeted that “for two weeks…’Jeopardy!’ will match the winnings of all contestants and donate it to the Aaron Rodgers Small-Business COVID-19 Fund at NVCF”.
