Burton\u2019s gig comes after fan petitions and widespread support from him to replace the late, great Alex Trebek, and there are still hopes that he could be named the full-time host down the line.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to put into words what would make Burton the ideal\u00a0<em>Jeopardy!\u00a0<\/em>emcee, but the promo below gives you a good sense of it. He possesses an innate passion for learning that is essential to being in command of this show, and he also has that rare combination of humor and empathy. He recognizes how important this show is to the contestants, and wants to support them while also recognizing the importance of <em>Jeopardy!\u00a0<\/em>as entertainment. Burton has an essence that is similar to Trebek in some ways, but still uniquely his own.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the majority of the year show producers have remained coy as to who the future host could be.\u00a0<em>Greatest of All Time\u00a0<\/em>champion Ken Jennings has to still be a frontrunner, while Mayim Bialik and executive producer Mike Richards each also received some rave reviews. Some of the previous guest hosts (and this could include Bialik depending on her\u00a0<em>Call Me Kat\u00a0<\/em>commitments) may be automatically ruled out due to their busy schedules. We\u2019re not sure that\u00a0<em>Jeopardy!\u00a0<\/em>will make a firm decision for at least a good while still, so patience will be a valuable virtue even after Burton finishes his run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Be sure to get some more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> when it comes to Jeopardy<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_most_want_to_see_from_LeVar_Burton_as_Jeopardy_host\"><\/span>What do you most want to see from LeVar Burton as\u00a0<em>Jeopardy!\u00a0<\/em>host?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>How excited are you for his week to finally be here?
