When George Stephanopoulos tires of being a newsman, he might consider a gig as\u00a0a TV<\/a> game-show host.<\/p>\n

The ABC News<\/a> \u201cGood Morning America\u201d co-anchor didn\u2019t dismiss the idea Wednesday when radio shock jock Howard Stern suggested he become the next emcee of \u201cJeopardy!\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would be a lot of fun,\u201d Stephanopoulos replied, according to the New York Post. \u201cBut I like what I\u2019m doing too.\u201d<\/p>\n

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, CHRIS CUOMO SPUR CORONAVIRUS SOCIAL DISTANCING CONCERNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got the intellectual capacity,\u201d Stern egged on during their conversation on Stern\u2019s SiriusXM show.<\/p>\n

Plus, Stern added, \u201cIt\u2019s a show that wouldn\u2019t damage your reputation. There is a certain gravitas. It\u2019s for brighter people. It would make you look good.\u201d<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a great show,” Stephanopoulos agreed, but noted he would have “big shoes to fill.”<\/p>\n

The conversation stemmed from speculation about longtime current \u201cJeopardy!\u201d host Alex Trebek<\/a> possibly stepping down soon because of health battles, the Post reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trebek, who will turn 80 in July, revealed in 2019 that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is undergoing treatment. In April, he announced plans to release a memoir<\/a> that will include details of his fight against the disease.<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts-born Stephanopoulos, 59, has had health battles of his own. In April he announced on the air that he had tested positive for the coronavirus \u2013 adding he felt \u201cgreat\u201d and wasn\u2019t displaying any symptoms.<\/p>\n

His disclosure came shortly after his actress wife, Ali Wentworth, announced that she had the virus.<\/p>\n

After he went public, Stephanopoulos faced backlash from some neighbors<\/a> in the tony Hamptons area of Long Island, east of New York City, who accused him of disregarding social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n

Before joining ABC nearly 20 years ago, Stephanopoulos served as a senior adviser to former President Bill Clinton after working as communications director on Clinton\u2019s 1992 campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
