The category was called ‘The World Revolves Around Jason Kelce.’
Kelce isn’t the first football player to appear on the famed trivia show: Aaron Rodgers hosted multiple episodes of the show in 2021.

Jason Kelce denied being drunk during Monday Night Football upon his return to Philadelphia
Kelce’s appearance on Jeopardy! was much more subdued than his visit to Philadelphia on Monday.

However, he denied being drunk during the latest episode of New Heights’ Monday Night Football and said he had not been drinking during the tailgates.
Kelce and the Monday Night Football team will be in Cincinnati next week, where the Bengals host the Commanders.
