Levar Burton 'Flattered' by Fan Petition to Have Him Succeed Alex Trebek on 'Jeopardy!'
Change.org petition calling for the host to step in following the heartbreaking death of host Alex Trebek. Trebek died last Sunday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 80. «Between hosting 21 seasons of the educational playing the brainiac engineer Geordi La Forge on, and filling the roll of Kunta Kinte in the ever important mini-series, LeVar Burton has inspired and shaped the minds of several generations of trivia-loving nerds,» the Change.org petition reads.
