Wikipedia is a world of knowledge (and humor), especially when it comes to Aaron Rodger's entry.

Earlier this week, Shailene Woodley, 29, came forward to confirm her engagement to the Green Bay Packers quarterback, 37, on The Tonight Show. "I don’t know him as a football guy. I know him as the nerd who wants to host Jeopardy!" the Big Little Lies actress told Jimmy Fallon, adding, "That's the dude I know." After the remark, Rodgers' Wikipedia saw a short-lived edit, where the athlete was described as an "American football nerd who wants to host Jeopardy for the Green Bay Packers."

Elsewhere in her interview, Woodley recalled her initial meeting with Rodgers. “When I first met him, I think my dog like pulled me aside and was like, ‘If you don’t date this dude, I will disown you as my mother, because the three feet that I run with you when you throw a ball is nothing compared to the marathon I’m able to run with him,'" she explained. "It was never really on my radar. When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didn’t know like what kind of a football guy he was. And I’m still constantly learning.”

As per USA Today, the quarterback will begin his guest hosting stint on April 5. In the meantime, current host (and executive producer) Mike Richards is spearheading the gameshow. Rodgers was previously named the "Celebrity Jeopardy!" champ in 2015 and it's clear that his upcoming duties mean a lot to him. "One of my idols growing up was Alex Trebek," Rodgers said of the late, great TV icon. "Being able to be on Jeopardy! years ago, even though my wardrobe outfit wasn’t the greatest choice, they’re doing some guest-hosting spots and this is going to be released here pretty soon, but I had the opportunity to do one of those."
