After things didn't work out in his campaign to become host of 'Jeopardy,' it looks like veteran actor LeVar Burton is off to greater pastures in the game show world as he's now being tapped to host an upcoming television revival of 'Trivial Pursuit.'
LeVar Burton's debut episode as a guest host of Jeopardy! on Monday superseded expectations. His highly-anticipated shot as host of the show broke an unexpected record.Â
Veteran actor LeVar Burton was recently quoted as saying "it will hurt" if he's not chosen as the new permanent host of 'Jeopardy!,' and many of us who recognize his star power and influence in Black culture are starting to feel the same way.
LeVar Burton, face of popular PBS children's show Reading Rainbow, is petitioning to be the next host of Jeopardy. There have been mixed feelings for the latest batch of Jeopardy! guests hosts, and now Twitter is campaigning for Burton to succeed Alex Trebek as the new full-time host.Â
The man did host Reading Rainbow for two decades. Why not inject some new old blood into the food for brain game show?
