Earlier this week, LeVar Burton announced that he’s taking his name out of the hat of potential candidates to host Jeopardy! after the show’s executive producer Mike Richards was forced to resign from the job following controversial comments. Many believe the gig should go to the former Reading Rainbow host, who was a guest host on the program earlier this year and openly expressed his interest in the job prior to White being announced.
However, Los Angeles Times journalist Steve Battaglio seems to believe that Burton’s latest statement about taking himself out of the running was disingenuous. Battaglio speculated on Twitter that, if Burton was offered the Jeopardy! hosting job, he would take it “in a heartbeat.”
