'Jeopardy!' fan-favorite LeVar Burton sets 'Trivial Pursuit' hosting gig
Fox News
“Jeopardy!” fans who were hoping to see LeVar Burton take on hosting duties are getting a nice consolation prize by way of a new game show.
Unfortunately for those fans, it has been confirmed that Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings will be trading hosting duties for the foreseeable future, essentially putting an end to Burton’s chances of being the new Trebek. However, it seems fans of the actor don’t need "Jeopardy!" to see him host a game show. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that he will be the host of a planned "Trivial Pursuit" TV game show.
The board game’s maker, Hasbro, partnered with Entertainment One and are currently shopping the show around to networks with Burton’s star power poised to give the series a big leg up in the market.
