Appearing as a contestant on “Jeopardy!” is the highlight of many people’s lives. However, for some very lucky individuals these days, they are getting to return to the popular game show as its host.
You can count NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers on this list. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper also makes the cut. Both Rodgers and Cooper competed on the show and later returned to serve as its guest host following the November 2020 passing of Alex Trebek.
As fans will know all too well, the popular quiz show has had several guest hosts take its reins since that time. In addition to Rodgers and Cooper, other guest hosts have included Ken Jennings, Mike Richards, Katie Couric, and Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Former “Jeopardy!” champ Buzzy Cohen is making news these days. He is getting the show’s fans hyped up for an upcoming special event via his social media account. And, he is personally very, very excited to be back on the show.
On Wednesday (May 12), Cohen took to Instagram to share his feeling about his upcoming stint as the guest host on a special “Jeopardy!’ event.
“If I am smiling crazy big it’s because I am crazy overjoyed to be a guest host of my favorite show of all time!” Buzzy Cohen shared on social media on May 12.
Who can blame him? Getting to serve as the host of “Jeopardy!” is one gig that so many people want!
