LeVar Burton opens up about losing hosting job in jeopardy, calls it a “solution”

To use a mundane stereotype: If you search the TV treasures in the dictionary, you’ll likely see a picture of LeVar Burton. The Star Trek: The Next Generation vet is not only a legend for fans of the genre, but also for millions of former children who grew up loving reading rainbow. (That, plus dozens of other television and film roles.) As such, it looked as perfect as any other to take over. Danger!Host work at the height of this mismanagement Debacle related to ex EP Mike Richards . He didn’t get the job, no one did it officially, more than seven months later, and even though he’s been full of plans after that, it looks like he still has a noticeable edge at work.

Right in front of LeVar Burton taking the stage as guest of the 2022 Scripps National Spelling Bee and far ahead return to space Star Trek: Picard Season 3 the well-spoken actor and producer spoke with Lots of news about the residual emotions still inside him so far from Danger! to deal. Though she could appreciate the way things went, Burton assuming housing rights for the union Trivial Pursuit restarting the game He said he was totally devastated at the time. In his words:

Experiencing a very public defeat, the humiliation, if you will, was disappointing. And what I learned from that experience, actually, is that it reinforced my belief that everything happens for a reason, even if you can’t discern the reason at that moment. In the fullness of time, all will be revealed. And like I said, I think in that first week I was not just disappointed, but devastated. She didn’t expect this to not be his guest choice.

There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, but I think we can all agree that LeVar Burton has fallen more on the “safe” side of things given his fan base, knowledge and laid back attitude. behind the scenes of the screen. Danger! music stand. Okay, not everyone was in their endeavors (of which he was fully aware ), but there were enough people, including former champions who clearly thought he had a straight shot to the top of the nominee rankings, so to speak.

LeVar Burton definitely doesn’t sound like he thinks Danger!The reception situation is a purely objective and democratic process, whatever it may be. So much so that he calls it a “solution”, saying:

The truth is, it was my favorite TV show. It really was. I mean, I’ve been watching this show since I was in third grade and Art Fleming was the host. And I honestly thought I was well prepared for it. It turns out that it wasn’t actually a contest, after all, the solution was ready.

As shocked as he may be at how Danger! LeVar Burton refused, LeVar Burton came to accept that losing that job offered him other opportunities he probably couldn’t have had if he’d had a full-time gig as a host of syndicated success.

And the doors opened. The windows have been opened. The phone didn’t stop ringing and I would never have experienced the things I tried, like hosting the Scripps Spelling Bee, if I got this job. So I think it was a huge lesson for me and I just wanted to sit embarrassed long enough to figure out what was really going to happen to me on that game show.

I have to say any positives like “getting a variety of TV works that included a return to NCIS -verse it’s as good as it gets, so hopefully LeVar Burton can embrace each of his new opportunities with all the confidence and happiness it deserves. I hope too Danger! making the best possible decision when the new permanent host is announced in the near future, but it will still be a matter of judgment.
