据一位前制片人透露，NFL 四分卫亚伦·罗杰斯最初是主持 Jeopardy 的首选。 NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers was initially the top choice to host Jeopardy, according to a former producer.

据该节目的前制片人和主持人迈克·理查兹称，在亚历克斯·特雷贝克去世后，NFL 四分卫亚伦·罗杰斯被认为是主持《危险边缘》的领跑者。 Aaron Rodgers, the NFL quarterback, was considered the frontrunner to host Jeopardy after Alex Trebek's passing, according to the show's former producer and host, Mike Richards. 据报道，罗杰斯是准备最充分的客座主持人，尽管他还有其他职业承诺。 Rodgers was reportedly the most prepared guest host, even though he had other career commitments. 最终，理查兹获得了主持工作，但一天后由于他发表的有争议的言论而被解雇。 Ultimately, Richards was given the hosting job but was fired after one day due to old controversial comments he had made.
