I thought Levar was busy trying to relaunch Reading Rainbow.

This could actually help that.

cant have enough jobs in Hollywood

ask Steve Harvey

Based on what
Reading Rainbow was arguably my favorite show as a kid but far as I know breh only did scripted tv stuff , at least Steve Harvey had stand up experience
If he doing it just for a check i get it from his perspective but i don't get why ppl suggesting him when big tigger or aj from 106 park might be more qualified if we being real here

Being good at the game doesn't make you a great host.

I agree and would prefer Burton but Jennings has been working on branding himself as a personality for a few years now. Hes done commercials, TV shows and other media..

don't get caught up in the names breh. both them dudes got 5+ years of interacting with live studio audiences. terrance j another one
overall point is we don't even know wth levar burton been doing the last 20 yrs and ppl just randomly suggesting him and breh might be trash in that tv environment

Theyve been grooming Ken Jennings to take over.

Being good at the game doesn't make you a great host.

Who knows how he'll do as a host. All I know is that Jennings works for Jeopardy now. They got him presenting special categories on episodes, doing outreach for new contestants, and working with writers with clues for the show.

Now that Alex has passed, it only makes sense that he'd be the front runner to be the next host.

He's a guest host coming up

Yup. I'm not holding my breath on Levar being good at this. But we'll see
