When Alex Trebek passed away in November, someone started a petition to have LeVar Burton host the show. At the time, LeVar was flattered, but he didn’t seem to really care about having the gig.
Fast forward to now, and the “Reading Rainbow” host is taking a shine to the idea. He tweeted a link to the petition with the caption, “Leaving this here in the event the powers that be are listening…”
So far, almost 155-thousand have signed the petition.
