Levar Burton

Beloved PBS classic 'Reading Rainbow' is coming back, this time with viral librarian Mychal Threets as host and some big celebrity guests.

The 67-year-old actor received an Emmy nod for his portrayal of Kunta Kinte in the 1977 TV miniseries.

In his response, the beloved champion of literacy pointed out Ye's mother was an English teacher. "I’m fairly certain she read a book or two," Burton wrote.

This year's Grammy Awards ceremony took place in Las Vegas with returning host Trevor Noah and a broadcast-opening performance from Silk Sonic.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, LeVar Burton opened up about the upside of losing out on the 'Jeopardy!' hosting gig, saying he was "disappointed."

After ending his quest to be the host of 'Jeopardy,' LeVar Burton has taken on a new role executive producing and hosting the 'Trivial Pursuit' game show.

While on 'The Daily Show,' Burton told Trevor Noah that he has ended his pursuit of trying to land the coveted position of hosting the popular quiz show.

Not everyone is happy to about a Variety report that someone other than LeVar Burton is in advanced negotiations to become the permanent host of 'Jeopardy.'

LeVar Burton talked to 'The New York Times Magazine' about wanting the 'Jeopardy!' hosting job, and about how he'll take it if he doesn't get it.

Burton joins the likes of people like Mayim Bialik, Bill Whitaker, Anderson Cooper, and others while the show searches for a permanent host.

Some fans started a petition to name actor LeVar Burton the new host of the game show, and it has garnered over 65,000 signatures as of Friday night.
