How to Watch LeVar Burton Host ‘Jeopardy!’

Happy LeVar Burton hosting Jeopardy! week to all who celebrate! After nearly a decade worth of campaigning for the position, the beloved Reading Rainbow star takes the podium on tonight’s episode of the game show. Fans of the actor are already excited about his appearance — we know folks are ready to watch, but if you’re not an avid Jeopardy! watcher, you may be struggling with how to catch his gig. Unlike previous guest hosts like Buzzy Cohen and Mayim Bialik, Burton’s not hosting for two whole weeks, so you’ll want to start watching ASAP.

In interviews and tweets leading up to this “dream role,” Burton has made one thing clear: he really, really wants to host Jeopardy! While opening up in an interview to The New York Times, Burton tried to give an exact reason for his obsession: “It’s difficult to explain, but there’s something inside me that says this makes sense. I feel like this is what I’m supposed to do.” Wow! Along with being a game show, Jeopardy! is now a love story, because this new pairing sounds like a match made in heaven.
