NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers approaches guest hosting 'Jeopardy!' like 'any game I've ever played'

Aaron Rodgers can check "Jeopardy!" host off his personal bucket list.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback and onetime Super Bowl champion is next up as guest host of the quiz show, temporarily filling the wide gap left by the death of Alex Trebek, who died in November of pancreatic cancer, as producers seek a permanent host.

Rodgers, 37, is a longtime fan, and has been on the "Jeopardy!" stage before: He bested Kevin O'Leary ("Shark Tank") and astronaut Mark Kelly as a contestant in 2015 to win $50,000 for charity.

His two-week stint, taped in mid-February, begins Monday, following turns by champion Ken Jennings, executive producer Mike Richards, former news anchor Katie Couric and talk-show doctor Mehmet Oz.
