WHAT IS THE STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE?

Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been hosting Jeopardy, and the entertainment mavens teased a frustrating moment.  "[Executive producer Mike] Richards also shared a nugget about the second week for Rodgers, telling [sports pundit Peter] King that there will be a '[f]un moment' that is 'Packer-related' and that leaves Aaron 'exasperated.'" Here it is.


One of the contestants was from Chicago, and she missed it.
So the guest host of “Jeopardy!" is Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and he’s reading this clue from the Title Waves category: “In the 1960s these Midwesterners earned 5 NFL championship trophies.”

The response from the three contestants ... crickets.

“Green Bay Packers?” Rodgers said, making the appropriate face and stretching out his arms in disbelief.

Not Erick Loh, the pastor from California, or returning champ Dennis Chase, the biotech project manager originally from Massachusetts, or Norah Webster, a meeting planner from Chicago, could come up with the answer.
That was the only entry in the category no contestant had a response to.  "When Loh correctly responded to the next clue from the same category about the Boston Celtics, Rodgers couldn’t resist. 'Oh, you know that one, huh?' he quipped."

No references to the 132 year winning streak on the seas, although the Yankees and Edmonton Oilers were in the mix.
