Levar Burton to be the next host of Jeopardy?

[cardinal biggles]

This was one of those things where someone's Twitter feed lines up juuuuuust right:



For those of you who don't follow LeVar on Twitter, he usually has a "Happy Friday, y'all!" post every week.

Not that they'd do it, but Martin Sheen and Dennis Haysbert would make for interesting guest hosts.

As we saw with LeVar, "would make for an interesting guest host" ≠ "would make a good guest host."

I'd actually Like Ben Stien, but he's 76? Maybe a guest gig?

Yeah, I was kind of thinking of a guest-hosting gig when I'd mentioned him. Would be good to have someone who can be lighthearted.

On a related note, I've mentioned before that I live in the city where Alex was born and grew up in, and every year we have an arts festival where murals will be painted in different parts of our city, and this year the big one is a mural on the high school he attended. I thought some of you might find this interesting.

Yeah, I saw that popping up all over the place. Apparently it lined up just right for a bunch of people.

Oh, wow, that's very cool!

That'd be a surefire way of killing the show.

I don't know much about the others, but Gomez is said to be very smart and would probably be the best at pulling it off.

You quoted while I was editing; the article mentions that Richards taped yesterday (his first day as permanent host was also his last). I'm curious as to how those episodes will be handled — will they be allowed to air? Strategic reshoots with a different guest host (which could be a difficulty task if the losing contestants have skipped town already)?

I'm kind of perversely fascinated to watch his dead man walking episodes, now.

 

[C.E. Evans]

I wonder if they can get Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog to be the next host?

(contestant gives a wrong answer)
TRIUMPH: What are you, [BLEEPING] stupid? You must have been absent when brains were being handed out, I guess. On to the next nerdy category!

Danica Mckellar?

Pro Tip: Scrub your social media and take your podcasts where you giggle about "boobies" down BEFORE throwing your hat in the ring for a high profile job.

Boobies

They had a second host, don't recall the name offhand. Why not go with her?

Mayim Bialik. She also stars in and produces the Fox sitcom Call Me Kat, so it's not certain how that would affect her availability to film the year-round syndicated version of Jeopardy!

Give a call to Betty White, she can host till they find somebody else!

I remember on Win Ben Stein’s Money if somebody accidentally answered in the form of a question they had to wear a dunce cap.

Jeopardy only tapes 46 days a year, she could totally do it and continue to act. Also her new show is not going to last.

Then they should choose the bronze medalist, whether it was Levar or not.

Ryan Reynolds tweeted this today:

And, yeah, LeVar whiffed it overall, but his final episode was such an improvement over his prior four that I wouldn't mind seeing him take a second crack at it.

Someone old lady at work suggested Steve Harvey. Seriously.
