LeVar Burton on speaking up for 'Jeopardy!' guest host role:'I would've regretted it for the rest of my life'

LeVar Burton just knows that he's meant to host "Jeopardy!" — not just temporarily like he is this week, but permanently. And not in arrogant way, but in the way of a man who's spent the past 45 years on TV projects, from "Roots" to "Reading Rainbow" to "Star Trek: The Next Generation," that he describes as "entertainment that's more than entertaining." So Burton has been very public about wanting the job, which his fans demanded and have wildly supported, but which is not at all guaranteed.
