LeVar Burton Says He’s Over ‘Jeopardy!’ Debacle

on Thursday where he told host Trevor Noah that he was deeply touched by the enormous about of support he received while pursuing the] Kickstarter several years ago.

I discovered then that the generation of adults now, who grew up on, they were down with whatever it is I wanted to do, and the same was true with thisthing,” Burton explained. “I made it public that I wanted it for myself, that it made sense to me, and they were all about it. It made as much sense to them as it did to me. And, so, they wanted it for me as much as I wanted it.”

He has moved on...He doesn't need this job.

Good for him

Good for him.

So are we

it was probably difficult to learn he was never considered a viable candidate and the producers invited him due to social media pressure

He did not deserve it. Wasn’t that good.

As bad as they screwed up the whole succession of Trebek they don't deserve someone as good as LeVar Burton hosting it.

I’m sure as an actor, he did his job, filled a fantasy and is now moving on with his life …. Next! Successful and accomplished before, and will continue to be. OVER IT.

I am so sorry Jeopardy made the wrong decision not casting levarburton . LeVar, I can't wait to see your show!

He would have made a fine host IMHO.

That old show with the talentless fratboy 'producer/host'? SPTV should just rename it Real Fratboys of TVland and show drunk contestants yelling insults at each other, throwing food & feces around, ya know, the stuff that appeals to other fratboys. That's what sptv wants.🤡s.

I mean…he just wasn’t great as a host…does that not matter

Good, because he was a terrible guest host.

There are greeter things for him out there other than just Jeopardy that will do him far more justice.

Would it be too revealing to say I was never really 'under' Jeopardy? Jeopardy

The people on twitter are not
