Does anyone know any more about this? Apparently it's not a joke. Kelly Miyahara tweeted cryptically about it too.

How did they get pictures on the podium? I thought they didnt allow that?
Rodgers may be a good qb, but im not sure if hed be too good at other stuff.

The girls twitter says the episode airs may 12, so watch out for that i guess.

Thats what I thought at first, but if you click the girls twitter there are pictures of him on set.

If this is a joke, its a pretty elaborate and well done one.

Cameras aren't allowed in the studio, so im pretty mad that the girl got to take those pics.

If you're looking for J! April Fools pranks, this is not the news you were looking for. Go to Facebook instead:
Jeopardy! on Facebook wrote:As part of Alex Trebek's contract renewal, we agreed to the audition of a "Vanna White" - type co-host. Sony is beginning auditions this week.

Could he be worse than Wolf Blitzer or Soledad O'Brien?

Who to root for? That quarterback of that Green Bay team or Mr. Wonderful? I'm wearing a shirt with sharks on it when I watch that game. Hope Kevin gets off at least one, "You're dead to me" to Alex Trebek. Hope #12 has no occasion to use his "championship belt" move.

As a contestant guest I brought in my camera to the studio when I attended the Battle taping last year. The guards saw it when I put in on the table before going through the metal detector. I think the J! people were more concerned by the notepad and pen I had than the camera.

Oh great. A whole week of celebrities on Jeopardy while 10 deserving people get left out.

yeah, screw charity, they don't need the money/publicity...

I like the celebrity week, as long as they don't stoop to putting on a Kardashian or something like that, it's one week out of the year.

I agree. I'm a little intrigued to see how someone contemporary like Aaron Rodgers would do.

I'm fairly certain I've seen quotes in the past that Rodgers is a regular Jeopardy viewer. I like to pretend that a QB was rooting for me for once.

Yes, being anti-moronic celebrities I've never heard of acting like idiots on the show means I hate charities. I do know who Aaron Rodgers is but I really don't give a shit how he would do on the show.

I think for each TOC they should have every player designate a charity. Jeopardy! would then make a donation to that charity in each players' name based on how much they won.

You saw a list of contestants? That's what I'm after.

The guy who favorited the tweet works for the show (which is why I follow him). The girl who tweeted it has the same last name, so I assume she has a connection to him.

Guess what? Her tweet's been deleted since TPTB may have let her know what she did wasn't allowed.
Anyway, it looks like this celeb tourney is happening. I'm kind of excited to see Rodgers and what he does.

There have been a number of good celebrity players and even a few excellent ones. It is unfortunate that Celebrity Jeopardy replaces a week of qualified regular people, but I do not find the games themselves offensive to watch.
