LeVar Burton will be doing the coin toss at The Rose Bowl this year. The big game takes place later today as The Ohio State Buckeyes face off against the Utah Utes. The Star Trek actor showed off what the commemorative coin looked like on Twitter and people are excited to see him pop up during a sports event. It’s been a busy year for Burton as he auditioned for the host of Jeopardy! and didn’t get the role. That’s before the various controversies surrounding the show began to bubble up. Now, he’s moved on and ready to host a game show of his own. Trivial Pursuit approached him to host the live version of their popular board game. Fans were excited to hear that he was going to have his own trivia program. Clearly, the Rose Bowl committee thought people would tune it to see the Reading Rainbow host kick off a massive college football game. From the looks of things, their hope was well-placed.
