The wait is nearly over: LeVar Burton begins his stint as a Jeopardy! guest host on Monday, July 26.
Following a passionate social media campaign led by fans, the Reading Rainbow and Star Trek star was announced as part of the shows final lineup of guest hosts in April. Jeopardy! has utilized a slew of guest hosts for its 37th season among them Aaron Rodgers, Robin Roberts, Mayim Bialik, Anderson Cooper and more following the death of longtime host Alex Trebek in November 2020.

Our goal has been to present a wide variety of guest hosts with different skill sets and backgrounds on our path to finding a permanent host, said Jeopardy! executive producer Mike Richards when announcing Burton as a guest host. Our passionate fans are telling us what they like, and we are listening. All of the guest hosts have brought individualism, energy and an authentic love of our show to each of their episodes. We look forward to sharing the rest of the season with our viewers.

I'll be curious to see how he does, because now that I think about it he would actually make a really awesome host.

He's 64. He could easily be on for another 30 years.

Easily? Lol.

I don't think he's too old for the gig, but I'd say 10-15 years tops.

Gotta be honest, he didn't have a great debut. His halting manner of speaking was kind of distracting.

This is the first episode I've watched since the Tournament of Champions, so I don't know if this is a problem that's been recurring or just started but I was distracted by the fact there was the acoustics were terrible with WAY too much echoing. (Well that and the guy who broke the record for the lowest score ever)

I also thought he was speaking way too slowly. Double Jeopardy ended with what, 4 leftover clues?

Burton has a sweet heart and is very well spoken; all that's left is a test of the off the cuff that occasionally comes up in jeopardy. He's been my pick ever since mentioned.

God bless Trebeck man, the show would not be here without him and Burton is legit as well as same era yet contemporary. Can't imagine anyone but Burton taking over, it just wouldn't feel right

He has an excellent quiz hosting voice. Definitely the most out of the whole TNG crew, come to think of it.

I'm surprised they didn't refilm that part where he fucked up and didn't tell the woman she had buzzed in successfully so she didn't answer at first.

I like him, but I actually think I prefer Mayim Bialik. She'd be absolutely perfect.
