The Rise of Matt Amodio
Seven months into the “Jeopardy!” guest host experiment, LeVar Burton finally got his chance to step behind the podium last week. Burton was the sentimental favorite for the job among many viewers and former contestants, openly lobbying for a chance to host as the likes of Dr. Oz and Katie Couric received mixed reviews and ratings declined. While announcing the first few hosts, the show played coy, encouraging fans to stump for their favorites. Nearly 300,000 people signed a petition on change.org advocating for Burton, and they eventually got their wish. Following his turn as host, an uncomfortable truth has emerged: LeVar Burton just isn’t very good at this.
