Who is Aaron Rodgers and why is his field goal remark trending?
A JEOPARDY contestant took a shot at the way the Packers’ season came to an end, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers made his debut as a guest host on the show.
Rodgers had a rough time as he stepped up to the Jeopardy! podium as a guest host on Monday evening, as one of the contestants had a little fun at his expense.
Rodgers was selected for the Packers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
Considered one of the greatest quarterback of all time, Rodgers boasts a career 64.6 pass completion percentage and the lowest career interception percentage at just 1.5.
In 2011, he led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl championship and was named the Super Bowl MVP.
He will be the guest host for two weeks, through April 16. During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said Trebek was one of his idols.
"One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek," Rodgers said during his appearance on the The Pat McAfee Show in January.
"They're doing some guest-hosting spots. It's going to be released here very soon, but I had the opportunity to be one of those … I'm excited about the opportunity."
One cheeky contestant took the opportunity to address the way the Packers’ season came to an end.
On Final Jeopardy - the part of the game show when the contestants write down their answers to the last clue one contestant didn’t try to answer - instead referencing the ending to the Packers’ NFC Championship Game loss to the Buccaneers.
If Rodgers had successfully completed the touchdown, he would have tied the game with a two-point conversion.
On Monday’s Jeopardy! episode, the contestant wrote: “Who wanted to kick that field goal?”.
Rodgers responded, “That is a great question. Should be correct, but unfortunately for this game today it’s incorrect.”
Rodgers made clear that the field goal was not his decision after the Packers’ loss, NBC Sports reported.
Despite this, he did note in the postgame press conference that he understood LaFleur’s mindset behind the decision.
“It wasn’t my decision, but I understand the thinking,” he said.
Who is Aaron Rodgers' fiance Shailene Woodley?
Earlier this year it was revealed that Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley are "engaged and very happy together".
A friend said that their "fast" proposal shouldn't come as a surprise.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback stunned fans when he thanked his "fiancée" during an MVP acceptance speech.
"180 straight days of having my nose hair scraped, playing for very little fans or no stands the entire season."
However, the 37-year-old would soon turn some heads as he shared: "I got engaged."
He added: "Off the field, I got a really great group of people that support me. So I'd like to thank my team, and my fiancée...."
A little over a year after announcing their engagement, Woodley and Rodgers reportedly split in February 2022, according to InTouch.
Shailene Diann Woodley, 29, was born in San Bernardino, California, and started modeling when she was aged four.
Her parents Lori and Lonnie both worked in education, as a school counselor and principal, respectively.
Woodley has also served on the board of Our Revolution, a political action committee.
