Although it seems like things are back on track, Jeopardy! — or at least “quiet,”If not “normal” — there are still conversational ripples in the aftermath of the elongated host-hunting snafu. LeVar Burton (fan-favorite candidate) is one of the most noticeable ripples. Producers passed onConsider who might be able to take over as Alex Trebek’s permanent replacement. Burton’s future as a game show host is now secure, thanks to his new gig, but he had some reflecting to do when it came to fans’ negative criticisms surrounding his week of guest-hosting appearances.
Understandably, LeVar Burton isn’t flipping tables and raising all kinds of hell over what some Jeopardy!His hosting skills were a topic of discussion among viewers. He’s just not that kinda person, though he does seem to have kept at least one particular critique in mind. Referencing one of Tom Hanks’ oft-quoted characters, here’s how the Star Trekvet put it into Rolling Stone:
You can access the bad and the ugly opinions of others through social media. [like]Seeing on my Twitter ‘Oh, he was terrible!’ ‘He was the worst of all the guest hosts.’ ‘He shit the bed.’Are you ready to get out of bed? I don’t think I was that bad! Thick skin is essential. Forrest Gump would agree. ‘That’s all I’m gonna say about that.’
I think it’s safe to say that “attempting to host a beloved game show in the midst of an executive producer’s problematic push to take things over himself”The box is like a box full of chocolates. No one knew what they were getting. Jeopardy!became bogged down in Mike Richards’ drama. Mayim Bialik, all-time GOAT Ken Jennings are the current situation In 2022, sharing duties will be in effect, which certainly wasn’t the most predictable decision the producers could have made.
It does suck that LeVar Burton had to see some of the negative criticisms thrown his way, especially since he and other guest hosts’ episodes were largely recorded in a single day. There wasn’t exactly time for everyone to get completely settled in before their work was already done. Due to the Olympics coverage, and other factors, Burton episodes saw a decrease in viewership. He does however take such comments with a grain for salt and a heaping serving of maturity.
To put it simply, Reading RainbowHowever, icon shitthe bed is not a true statement. Particularly when “the bed”In this case, the situation was already chaotic. Perhaps if Burton asked people to keep spinning the wheel and guess letters instead of picking categories that it would have counted. I’m not convinced even that would have done it. For someone to completely shit the bed as a game show host in any capacity, they’d probably need to legitimately drop a deuce on the stage. Alcohol is also a good option.
LeVar Burton is likely to have There are many. Jeopardy!Fans tuning in to his latest gig whenever it makes it to the small screen — Which includes likely champ Amy Schneider — as he’s set to The newest version of ABBYY! Trivial PursuitGame Show. He’ll also serve as executive producer, which will presumably allow for more creative control behind the scenes. That project doesn’t have a network or streaming service just yet, but expect more announcements to come.
