Rodgers, who appeared on a 2015 episode of "Celebrity Jeopardy," revealed Tuesday that he will be one of the special guests filling in as a host this season as the show searches for a permanent replacement for Trebek.

"One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek," Rodgers said on "The Pat McAfee Show. " "They're doing some guest-hosting spots.

It's going to be released here pretty soon, but I had the opportunity to do one of those . . .

I'm excited about that opportunity. "
