We don\u2019t honestly blame him, largely because the producers rarely made him feel that wanted. He was brought on to guest-host following a worldwide fan campaign, but was only handed a week during the Summer Olympics. His ratings were low, but the show was also preempted in some markets. The cards were stacked against him from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Burton tells Noah in the interview that in doing the show (and potentially in the aftermath of it), he\u2019s come to realize that there may be something else he wants:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThey say be careful of what you wish for, because what I found out is that it wasn\u2019t the thing that I wanted after all \u2026 What I wanted was to compete. I mean, I wanted the job, right, but then, when I didn\u2019t get it, it was, like \u2018Well, okay, what\u2019s next?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So\u00a0<em>what\u00a0<\/em>is next for Burton now? He claims that he is working to develop his own game show and is working on precisely what that could look like. We do think there\u2019s room for LeVar in the trivia space, and he may be able to come up with something that celebrates his love of knowledge with other characteristics that make him unique. He just needs the right partners around him and to have a broadcaster\/streaming service that can reach the necessary audience. He\u2019s a generational talent and we\u2019ve seen how popular both\u00a0<em>Reading Rainbow\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Star Trek: The Next Generation\u00a0<\/em>were for so many years. It does feel like high time for Burton to be able to reach another generation with his work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Here is who is guest-hosting Jeopardy! through the rest of the year<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Would_you_watch_a_different_game_show_hosted_by_LeVar_Burton\"><\/span>Would you watch a different game show hosted by LeVar Burton?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share right now in the comments!
