The correct answer was Harley and Davidson. Rodgers quipped Ernst & Young.
Aaron Rodgers scored big on Celebrity Jeopardy! on Tuesday, May 12, stealing the show from his fellow famous competitors, astronaut Mark Kelly and Shark Tank mogul Kevin O'Leary. The Green Bay Packers quarterback, 31, had quite the successful run on the quiz show, leading the pack from the beginning and charming viewers as he gave correct answers with a smile. Competing on the special Jeopardy! week, Rodgers was raising money for his charity of choice, Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.The cause seemed to inspire the hunky athlete, as he buzzed quickly and often, showing his knowledge of the Bible, sports, animals, pop culture, and general trivia. Rodgers proved that he has brains to go along with his Super Bowl-winning braun, and ended Double Jeopardy in first place. The NFL star was a few thousand dollars ahead of Kelly, 51, at the beginning of Final Jeopardy, and far beyond O'Leary, 60, who ended in the red but was given $1,000 to compete for his charity. All three of the men failed to correctly identify the last question of, "Who are Harley and Davidson," but Rodgers came out on top, earning $50,000 for the MACC Fund.
