When Jeopardy announced that they were looking for guest hosts, LeVar Burton’s fans started a petition to get him the job. They succeeded. So much so, they were hoping that he would be offered the position permanently.
Yesterday, there was a report that they are not going with the fan-favorite. Instead, they are in serious negotiations with the game show’s EP Mike Richards. As soon as they heard, they ran to social media to protest about the decision.
When Burton woke up to find himself trending, he had some sage words for his admirers. “I have said many times over these past weeks that no matter the outcome, I’ve won,” he wrote. “The outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and fans alike has been incredible! If love is the ultimate blessing, and I believe that it is, I am truly blessed beyond measure.”
Now you can see why they love him so much.
Personally, I think they should continue auditioning. I would like to see Neil deGrasse Tyson and Rivers Cuomo give it a try, while my friend said they should try out some local news people. What do you think?
Yesterday was LeVar Burton’s first night of hosting Jeopardy. He was so excited to see himself hosting that he watched it with his daughter. Mica was so happy to see her dad so excited watching himself on TV that she had to record it. Since she is his kid, she had to give him crap about it. And yet, he remained humble throughout it all. After all, he knows that his fans love him so much that we fought to get him the job!
I like when the nice guys win. Even though there was a poor guy on his episode that scored the lowest score at the end of two rounds in the show’s history.
Yesterday was a big day for Jeopardy fans. LeVar Burton finally got his chance to host the game show. While that is exciting enough, the episode was also monumental for another reason.
Patrick Pearce has an honor that no one else on the show has ever had. It is not that he won Final Jeopardy. He didn’t even make it to the final round. That is because he scored -$7,400 after the first two rounds.
That means he has the title of getting the Worst Score in Jeopardy history. Stephanie Hull had held that title since March 2015. Back then, she ended her game with $6,400, according to Entertainment Weekly.
I need to try out for the show. This way, I can become a contestant and take over that title. I will do worst than the two of them combined! I am that dumb. I mean, I am that bad of a player.
Noah Wyle has wanted to be invited to lunch with this group of character actors, and they finally asked him to join them. However, no one would believe him if there was no photographic evidence. So here he is with Spencer Garrett, Rob Morrow, Kevin Pollak, Eric Mccormack, Levar Burton, Alfred Molina, Michael Nouri, Michael Mckean, and Steven Webber.
I want to know who and what they were talking about. Can you imagine their conversation? It is probably better than anything we have seen them in, and McKean was in Spinal Tap,
Ryan Reynolds is the spokesperson for his Aviation Gin, but he decided to change it up. Since everyone has been raving about LeVar Burton, he decided to have him be the spokesperson for a commercial.
As soon as Burton said his first word, you immediately knew he is the better man for the job. Read that Rainbow, Deadpool. It looks like your job is in jeopardy.
