This just in- it sounds like LeVar Burton will actually host an episode of “Jeopardy!” This news was confirmed by the quiz show’s official Twitter account.
While we’re sad it’s not in the context we were hoping, it is a step in the right direction.
Since the passing of longtime “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, Burton’s name has been on the top of the list to take over permanent hosting duties. There was even a petition started, which is up to about 246k!
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
