While recently chatting withESPN, Rodgers opened up about how he prepared for his two-week run as guest host after was a contestant onCelebrity Jeopardy!back in 2015.
“I watched hours and hours and hours of episodes,” Rodgers said. “Luckily Netflix has a few seasons, and I went back to DVR. But I had to watch from a different perspective — from Alex’s perspective. I couldn’t watch it as a fan anymore.”
“I took pages and pages and pages of notes. I wrote down every affirmative that he said to any type of clue. I wrote down how he would respond if they didn’t get it right. I wrote down beat points of the show. I wrote down all the different ways he would take it to break. I wrote down the stuff that he said coming out of break,” he added. “Literally, I studied for this like no other. I wanted to absolutely just crush it.”
