Lies
Finally, many people wanted Rodgers to answer for the activities he did this summer under the pretense of being vaccinated, and the people that he put at risk by doing so.
State Farm
Many commenters called on State Farm to take a stance on Rodgers' new comments, considering that Rodgers is still in some of the company's most prominent commercials. So far, State Farm has not responded.
Dr. Oz
Some also cracked jokes about fellow guest host Dr. Oz, who has also been criticized for promoting insubstantial science.
Host
Comedian Mohanad Elshieky joked that Rodgers was still a "host" in certain sense, having carried COVID-19 in his bloodstream even when he said he was "immunized."
Retrospect
Some fans pulled up Rodgers' old episodes of Jeopardy! just to laugh at the dichotomy. They marveled that he hosted the show without saying something as shocking as he did on McAfee's show this week.
Relief
Fans were feeling vicarious relief by imagining the situation behind the scenes at Jeopardy!
Dodged Bullet
Former Jeopardy! contestant Matt McDaniel joked in the show's signature format that Rodgers was "another hosting bullet dodged." The search for a permanent host of the series has been fraught with controversy, but somehow Rodgers was almost in a position to make it even worse.
