“Jeopardy!” fans will soon see Anderson Cooper on their television screens as he makes his debut as guest host on the popular game show.
While Aaron Rodgers just ended his role as guest host, the "Jeopardy!" official Twitter account posted exclusive footage of Cooper’s episodes, which will begin on April 19, according to People.
The video shows the CNN anchor explaining how he became a massive fan of the show.
“In high school I became a Jeopardy! fan, I’m a two-time Celebrity Jeopardy! champ and this week, I’ll be the newest Jeopardy! guest host,” Cooper said.
Cooper shared although he is excited about this opportunity, he is “actually kind of nervous.”
