Aaron Rodgers will be back on TV very soon. According to USA Today, the Green Bay Packers quarterback will begin his 10-show stint as a guest host on Jeopardy! April 5. He will follow another guest host, Dr. Oz, who starts on March 22. Celebrity guest hosts are filling in for Alex Trebek, who died of pancreatic cancer in November. Other guest hosts include Katie Couric (March 8), Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Bill Whitaker and Mayim Bialik.
In January, Rodgers revealed on the Pat McAfee Showthat he was going to guest host Jeopardy! 'One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek,' Rodgers said during his appearance. '[...]They're doing some guest hosting spots and it's going to be released here pretty soon, but I have the opportunity to do one of those. ... I'm excited about that opportunity on Jeopardy!' Rodgers appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy! in 2015 and won $50,000, which was donated to the MACC Fund (Midwest Athlete's Against Childhood Cancer).
In the episode, Rodgers is seen cutting up with Trebek. 'It's a game,' Rodgers told Trebek after being asked how he doesn't take himself too seriously. 'I think you should consider some celebration after a good show.' The audience began laughing, and Trebek did his best Rodgers impression by doing the 'discount double-check' celebration.
2021 has been an interesting year for Rodgers. The 37-year-old quarterback just missed out on winning a Super Bowl as the Packers lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship. He won the NFL MVP award and then announced he got engaged last year. It was later confirmed that Rodgers was engaged to 29-year-old actress Shailene Woodleywho talked about it on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“So it’s kind of funny. Everybody right now is freaking out over it and we’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ve been engaged for a while,” Woodley told host Jimmy Fallon. “He’s, first off, just a wonderful, incredible human being. But I never thought I’d be engaged with somebody who threw balls for a living. Like, I never thought as a little girl … ‘Yeah, when I grow up, I’m gonna marry someone who throws balls! Yeah!’ But he’s really just so good at it.”
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is arguably best known for his impressive athleticism, but in recent years, he has gained notoriety for his personal drama too. It all started when Aaron began dating actor Olivia Munn in 2014, expanding his fame into Hollywood circles and attracting a new legion of fans. It was also during this time that rumors surfaced about a feud between Aaron and his family, including his two brothers, Jordan and Luke Rodgers.
Jordan touched on the tension while vying for JoJo Fletcher's heart on Season 12 of The Bachelorette, revealing, 'I miss my brother a lot. Especially in moments like this because my family means so much.' Aaron said Jordan's comments were 'inappropriate,' and Munn elaborated on the situation after the couple split in 2017. 'There's a lot of complications,' The Predator star told Bravo exec Andy Cohen in May 2018. 'I don't think either side of the road is clean, but I do think it's not OK if you try to stand on someone's shoulders, then throw dirt in their face, that's what I think.'
What's the latest in this family saga? Aaron's loved ones are allegedly upset about a December 2019 interview he conducted with his current girlfriend, former race car driver Danica Patrick. During that convo, Aaron shares his honest opinion on religion. Considering the NFL star's fam is supposedly very religious, you can only imagine that other members of the Rodgers tribe were none too pleased with his straightforward comments.
Aaron Rodgers got real about religion
Danica Patrick launched her first podcast, Pretty Intense, in August 2019. And boy, has the project lived up to its name thanks to a painfully honest interview with Aaron Rodgers about religion. Aaron, who grew up in a Christian household, explained to Patrick during a December 2019 episode, 'Most people that I knew, church was just...you just had to go.' The athlete then shared his thoughts on what he believes to be a contradiction about believing in a higher power, adding, 'I don't know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet to a fiery hell. What type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?'
But wait — Aaron didn't stop there, continuing, 'Religion can be a crutch. It can be something that people have to have to make themselves feel better. Because it's set up binary, it's us and them, saved and unsaved, heaven and hell, it's enlightened and heathen, it's holy and righteous...that makes a lot of people feel better about themselves.'
The football star's family hasn't publicly commented on the episode, although a source shed light on their supposed feelings. 'They were dismayed,' an insider told People. 'To them, his comments are basically a slap in the face to the fundamentals of who they are.'

'I think in people's lives who grew up in some sort of organized religion, there really comes a time when you start to question things more,' the Green Bay Packers star told ESPNin 2017. 'It happens for some at an early age; others, you know, maybe a little older.' The quarterback talked about what that experience was like for him. 'I remember asking a question as a young person about somebody in a remote rainforest. Because the words that I got were: 'If you don't confess your sins, then you're going to hell.' And I said, 'What about the people who don't have a Bible readily accessible?'
According to ESPN, Rodgers' questions about his faith continued to grow. 'Over time, as he read more, Rodgers grew increasingly convinced that the beliefs he had internalized growing up were wrong, that spirituality could be far more inclusive and less literal than he had been taught,' the magazine reported.
Will Aaron Rodgers attend his brother's wedding?
Who Is Aaron Rodgers Dating
As #BachelorNation fans already know, Jordan Rodgers 'won' JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette and now the two reality stars are engaged.

'I said, 'You better give me your guest list in the next one to two weeks or we're going to have problems,' she joked to People. 'I'm starting to get you know my ducks in a row, but you know a lot of vendors, a lot of people want to know how many people you're going to have, [so I'm] really waiting on him.'
Aaron Rodgers Personal Life
Hmm... is it possible Jordan is holding back because he's unsure about Aaron? Jordan previously told People, 'There's no scenario in which I wouldn't want my entire family at a wedding, so absolutely, that's something all of our family wants and hopes for at some point.' That sounds nice, but it's worth noting that when brother Luke Rodgers got married in April 2019, Jordan served as his best man but Aaron's attendance was a great big question mark.
Bottom line? This is a complicated feud, and we can't imagine this snafu about religion has helped the situation.
