Since it was confirmed a few weeks ago that former Star Trek actor LeVar Burton would be among the guest hosts for Jeopardy! later this summer, fans have been ecstatic about the prospect that he might take on the role permanently. Following the death of Alex Trebek the series has been cycling through guest hosts in search of a new one and in a new interview Burton is holding onto the dream of gaining that job. “[Hosting Jeopardy] wasn’t even on my bucket list, because I never anticipated that it could possibly be a reality for me,” Burton said in an interview with EW. “And no matter what happens, I’m really proud of myself for daring to dream that dream, ultimately.”
THANK YOU… to all y’all for your passionate support! I am overjoyed, excited, and eager to be guest-hosting Jeopardy!, and will do my utmost best to live up to your faith you in me. YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! Go ahead and take my word for it, this time. https://t.co/C7mZWMok2X
