Jeopardy! announced on Wednesday that the former Reading Rainbow host would be one of the five remaining guest hosts rounding out season 37. The replacement search for the legendary host proved difficult, with a rotation of guest hosts who included Aaron Rodgers, Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Bialik and Jennings until August 2021. Now it seems as though Burton’s push and fans’ pleas have been heard. He told Entertainment Weekly last week, “I don't believe there is anyone out there who is better suited for this job than me I think my whole career is an advertisement for being the host of Jeopardy!” The 'The Big Bang Theory' and 'Call Me Kat' actor has stepped into a larger role on 'Jeopardy' via REUTERS. The petition is now approaching 250,000 signatures, and even Burton himself has joined the push, making the case publicly as to why his resume makes him perfect for the job. Mayim Bialik takes over as interim ‘Jeopardy’ host. Earlier this month, momentum started to build behind a fan-led petition asking the show’s producer, Sony Pictures Television, to consider Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Burton for the role.
