<p>Aaron Rodgers offered a heartfelt goodbye after his two-week run as guest host of &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; on Friday, thanking the viewers, contestants and everyone involved.</p>



<p>The Packers&#8217; superstar quarterback hosted 10 episodes and helped the show raise $236,725 for the North Valley Community Foundation, as the show matched the winnings of contestants.</p>



<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s incredible,&#8221; Rodgers <strong>said following his final episode</strong> as host. &#8220;I want to thank all of you for watching and for everyone here at &#8216;Jeopardy!&#8217; … thank you.</p>



<p>&#8220;You have made me feel so welcome. This has been a surreal experience and so very special to me. Have a great weekend and in the words of the great Alex Trebek, &#8216;So long.'&#8221;</p>



<p>CNN anchor Anderson Cooper will be next up. MLB and NFL voice <strong>Joe Buck will join the mix</strong> at some point, The Post&#8217;s Andrew Marchand reported Saturday.</p>



<p>Rodgers was <strong>able to show his comedic side</strong> during his time with &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; One of the best moments came on Tuesday when defending champion Daniel Chase chose the category of &#8220;Title&#8221; for $400.</p>



<p>The clue was: In the 1960s these Midwesterners earned 5 NFL championship trophies. Chase had no clue.</p>

<p>&#8220;<strong>Green Bay Packers</strong>? Dennis, go again…I guess,&#8221; Rodgers joked. When contestant Erick Loh correctly answered Boston Celtics to a different clue, Rodgers responded: &#8220;Oh, you know that one, huh?&#8221; to laughs from the audience.</p>



<p>&#8220;The best part of guest-hosting &#8216;Jeopardy!&#8217; is watching the incredibly smart contestants test themselves against the game and against each other,&#8221; Rodgers said during one of the episodes of the show. &#8220;It takes quick reflexes and the ability to make intelligent decisions on the fly to be a &#8216;Jeopardy!&#8217; champion…something I can definitely relate to.&#8221;</p>
