We remember speaking about it earlier this year, as he feels like the perfect person to lead the next generation of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Just think about it \u2014 almost the entirety of Burton\u2019s adult life has been about celebrating a love of learning. He was the host of\u00a0<em>Reading Rainbow\u00a0<\/em>for decades and beyond just that, he continues to promote artistic expression and literacy with his <em>LeVar Burton Reads\u00a0<\/em>podcast. He also of course has generations of fans thanks to his work on\u00a0<em>Roots\u00a0<\/em>and then also\u00a0<em>Star Trek: The Next Generation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To us, it remains an incredible mystery why Burton has not been picked at least to be a guest host. Over 213,000 people as of this writing have signed a petition to get him as the host of the show, and we imagine many others will once they hear about it. Burton spoke on\u00a0<em>CBS This Morning\u00a0<\/em>earlier today, and insisted that he \u201chas won\u201d regardless of whether or not he actually gets the gig thanks to the love people have shown him.<\/p>\n<p>While guest host Aaron Rodgers has done a solid job this week and clearly loves the show, we know that he\u2019s busy with another job at the moment. The favorites the gig right now probably remain Ken Jennings and show executive producer Mike Richards, who has experience hosting on\u00a0<em>Beauty and the Geek.\u00a0<\/em>(Full disclosure: We <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared on that program alongside Richards and spent a good bit of time around him.) Burton just has something that is almost hard to describe: A natural warmth and respect that is hard to replicate. He exudes the quiet confidence and energy of the late Alex Trebek in a way that few other people do.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t get a sense that the show\u2019s producers are rushing to choose a new host; we will see if LeVar ultimately gets the shot, but he remains our top personal choice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_want_to_see_LeVar_Burton_become_the_host_of_Jeopardy_down_the_road\"><\/span>Do you want to see LeVar Burton become the host of\u00a0<em>Jeopardy!\u00a0<\/em>down the road?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share in the comments, and also come back around to get some other updates.
