Despite all the support for the actor-host, most Jeopardy! fans seemed to be throwing their support behind Jennings.
As previously mentioned, this wasn’t the first time LeVar Burton’s name has been pushed to replace Alex Trebek.
Back in November 2020, fans created an online petition to get the Reading Rainbow host to headline Jeopardy. The fan petition led to many placing Burton high on the list of possible replacements behind Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos and past guest host Ken Jennings.
