'Jeopardy!': LeVar Burton Fans Flip After He's Seemingly Passed Over as Permanent Host
08/04/2021 09:22 pm EDT
"Jeopardy you had your host with LeVar Burton," one Jeopardy fan wrote. "LeVar is the epitome of knowledge and learning. Isn't that what Jeopardy is all about. Mike Richards is not in the league with LeVar. It's LeVar or no Jeopardy for me."
Another Jeopardy fan wrote that Burton was "fantastic." They added, "Any other legacy for Alex is wrong."
"They didn't even mention Levar Burton in the article," a viewer wrote in response to Variety's piece. "What was the point of hyping up fill-in guests like they were contenders to be the new host if they were going to give the hosting position to Mike Richards, who is the executive producer of #Jeopardy."
Fans clearly have only one person in mind for the position. As one viewer put it, "This is f—ked, just let @levarburton do this please, c'mon."
"Side eying Jeopardy so hard through my VISOR right now," one of Burton's supporters wrote. "LeVar Burton is the obvious choice here, and I also really enjoyed Mayim Bialik. This guy was unremarkable."
"So #Jeopardy is just not going to give us LeVar Burton?" yet another fan lamented. "Watch their viewers drop."
