Aaron Rodgers was allegedly the frontrunner to host Jeopardy after being 'most prepared' candidate in the wake of Alex Trebek's death
Aaron Rodgers nearly nabbed the hosting spot on Jeopardy after wowing the show's producers, one-time host Mike Richards claimed in a new interview.
He said he was added to the potential candidates due to his past experience hosting the reality series Beauty & The Geek, as well as the GSN game shows Million Dollar Pyramid and Divided and helping out with Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking Eve in 2005. But after the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) called for him to be investigated after offensive comments he made on The Randumb Show podcast in 2014 resurfaced, his job was in jeopardy. Although Richards said he cooperated with the ADL investigation, the heat turned up when it was revealed that he was named in wrongful termination and discrimination lawsuits filed by models on The Price Is Right during his stint producing the game show.
