LeVar Burton is going to guest host Jeopardy! after all.
The former Reading Rainbow host and Star Trek: The Next Generation actor, 64, was included in the final batch of Jeopardy! guest hosts for the season.
The decision comes after hundreds of thousands of fans lobbied online for Burton to get a shot to potentially replace the late Alex Trebek. A Change.org petition supporting Burton guest hosting the show racked up 246,000 signatures.
“THANK YOU… to all y’all for your passionate support!” Burton tweeted Wednesday.
“I am overjoyed, excited, and eager to be guest-hosting Jeopardy!, and will do my utmost best to live up to your faith you in me. YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! Go ahead and take my word for it, this time.”
