LeVar Burton dropped a flawless tweet after Mike Richards quit ‘Jeopardy!’

On Friday, news broke that Mike Richards, the executive producer of Jeopardy! who had been chosen to succeed Alex Trebek on the syndicated game show, would be stepping down as host.

It was LeVar Burton, the actor who had guest-hosted a stretch in July thanks to a huge push from Jeopardy! die-hards.
