“Danger!” guest host Aaron Rodgers appeared to be taken by surprise on Monday after a competitor took the opportunity to bring up a painful memory of the Green Bay Packers quarterback’s past.
In the “Final Jeopardy” round, contestant Scott Shewfelt did not respond to the last clue about the daytime television personalities.
Instead, he asked Rodgers about a controversial goal during last season’s NFC championship game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which ended the Packers’ season – and his ticket to the Super Bowl.
“Who wanted to kick that field goal?” Shewfelt wrote.
Rodgers initially looked stunned before looking down momentarily with a smile on his face.
“That’s a great question,” he said as he laughed. “It should be correct, but unfortunately for this game today, that is incorrect.”
Rodgers made his debut on Monday as the show’s host. He should be the host for the next two weeks, according to “Jeopardy!” on the Internet network.
A host of guest hosts, including award-winning journalists and celebrities, were announced after the feature film “Jeopardy!” Presenter Alex Trebek died late last year of cancer.
Expected guests include CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and NBC co-host “TODAY”, Savannah Guthrie.
