LeVar Burton On Hosting 'Trivial Pursuit,' Impact of 'Reading Rainbow' | The View

thank you so Much sir Levar Burton thank you reading Rainbow was a part of my childhood it got me into reading books i want to say thank you for your amazing work .

I was too young for Roots, but love LeVar because of Reading Rainbow and Star Trek. ❤

I love lavar Burton always love to hear him speaking 🗣️🗣️❤❤❤

Why is it so surprising that we have an education history. Putting aside slavery and USA history. Why is it all these famous people make it so surprising that they have educated family.
I do understand our history. But many of us have generations of high educated relatives especially in this century

As we have evolved as American. Natural or naturalized we have a rich and proud ancestry and educated history.
Some times people seem to be uneducated about their own bloodlines.
Our family passed down our history. I and my siblings are a 4 generations of educated relatives and it has carried on to 4 more generations.

Our records were written from slavery.
I just find it a little condensending to our heritage that these people act so shocked to learn their history and say it as if apologizing for their accomplishment.
I am not insensitive but speak with Pride.not rhetorical presentation.

Maybe, I am just sensitive to our having to act like we have to be beholding to our captors.
I am a descendant of great shoulders and only until we AA and people of color stop acting as if we owe some the right to sit at the table.

We had all this greatness. When we were captured.
And remember colored means of many tints.hues spectrum on the color wheel.
We say we Are PEOPLE of Color. That includes 95% of the world.

Rarely do the other hosts.speak of their ancestry in a way as if they were less than great.
Our cultural may be different but Americans come from every SOCIAL. Economic. Educated LEVEL AND FROM MANY CULTURAL DIFFERENCE. EVEN VANCE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT HIS HILLBILLY HERITAGE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DECLARING IT. WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO CAME TO AMERICA HAD BEEN PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS BUT IT WAS ThE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS OR DESCENDANTS OF MIGRATED ETHNIC GROUPS.
WE NEED TO BRING MORE AWARENESS TO THE TRUE HISTORY OF AMERICA AND EVERY ETHNIC GROUP.
MANY PEOPLE. IN 2024- ARE ILLITERATE; NOT BECAUSE THEY weren't taught but because of their culture. That needs to be addressed.
We need to celebrate every ethnic group.
My soap box for today , but I am tired. Of our accomplishments being made to seem as if we have to apologize for them.
I understand what He is saying but we don't have to be surprised. Just say I AM PROUD TO COME FROM A LINEAGE OF EDUCATED FAMILY. AND THEN DO EVERYTHING TO PASS THAT PRIDE DOWN TO EVERY GENERATION.
I COULD WRITE ON AND ON ANOUT THIS SUBJECT

Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look
It's in a book
A reading rainbow

I can go anywhere
Friends to know
And ways to grow
A reading rainbow

I can be anything
Take a look
It's in a book
A reading rainbow (A reading rainbow)
A reading rainbow (A reading rainbow, a reading rainbow)

This was so good! I can't wait until you have Candace Owens on the view.

tom hanks should go on the show

Oh Joy know she messy!!

LeVar Burton is such an inspiring man!
To this day I can’t think about the Reading Rainbow theme song without tearing up!

I haven't heard the name trivial pursuit in since grade school. I'm going to check this out definitely.

Absolutely love LeVar Burton. He seems like a wonderful human being. On a side note, they keep saying John Amos passed away this week. He passed away in August. News of his passing is just coming out. RIP Mr. Amos.

Yay LeVar! 🎉🖖🏽🔠🚸💯

Skip Gates change Sunny's life I'll tell you what!

Did you see the video where racist LeVar Burton loses his sh*t when he finds out that he has a white ancestor? Disappointing, but hilarious too.

This Brother Done Raised 2 to 3 Generation Of Kids 🌈📚📖

Cackling hens spewing hate

It’s amazing every celebrities are having game shows. Smh. Who’s next Obama or Whoopi or Oprah

My grandmother helped implement headstart in the 80's and we lived for reading rainbow. It showed every ethnicity.

Shoulda been the host of jeopardy

I love LeVar. I might actually break down if I met him in real life LOL his impact is so prominent.

I’m a Reading Rainbow baby! The song, along w/LaVar’s face and voice play in my mind whenever I think about I. So much love to him and his family! 💐👏🏾🙏🏾

🎵Butterfly in the sky, I can fly twice as high, take a look, it's in a book, it's reading rainbow 🎶

He’s a special person indeed!

If Joy was on StarTrek in a scene with Ginneian. That would mean their is a tangible Joy in StarTrek. A Few candles for lighting the set would be nice.

I used to like this guy but now no, Scotty is the true engineer for the Enterprise

THE WORLD NEEDS LEVAR AGAIN PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Whoopi Sunny & Levar were having a conversation that the others weren't privy to... & the ancestors in Heaven with GOD, smiled...

"As long as there is a bar on board and someone to fly the ship." LOVE IT!!!

I GOT TO GO SEE SUNNY EPISODE OF FINDING YOUR ROOTS 💯 and Whoopi lighten up 💯

John Amos passed away. The lady who played the mom on Good Times insisted that there be a father present on the show.

Oh look, an imbecilic human being who believes that establishing school curriculums equals banning books. But only when conservatives do it.

Cry racism levar

Congratulations levar button on two books 📚 watched reading rainbows 🌈

Reading rainbows was one of my favorite shows he made. There was one episode where he read a book about making pizza and I still used it today.

What an articulate, well spoken man…. My Parents were Educators and too my Dad words meant so much… each day we would learn a new word, define it and use it in a sentence. Because of this my Children were blessed with the gift of exceptional communication and expression, rather spoken or written. I also give props to Mr. Levar Burton.. Reading Rainbow was a defining experience. Simply amazing. Thank you….❤

Roots opened a lot of our eyes about how we got here. It wasn't a vacation people. 😢😢

Listening to LeVar's voice in ALL contexts... is like going to church.

OK LADIES TIME TO RETIRE AND GO OFF INTO THE SUNSET. PLEASE, YOU HAVE INSULTED OUR INTELLIGENCE LONG ENOUGH

I remember reading rainbow

I hope Mr. Burton understands the impact he had on children like me me in the late 90's watching Reading Rainbow. I was just a young, poor Hispanic kid from the Bronx. His show vastly improved my literacy at a young age, and through that I always excelled in English class K-12. I developed a love for reading books and now I hope to become a screenwriter one day. Thank you for being such a large influence on me in the right way.

Levar Burton is truly wonderful; he's an example for all of us. I look forward to reading his upcoming books, his memoir and the one about literacy.

I met Levar Burton and he is so nice

I love Reading Rainbow so much

He fathered so many of us as kids through reading an the power of reading an learning how to read thank you dad Levar ❤

I love Levar for Reading Rainbow and Star Trek but I really lost of lot of respect for him when he did this lame game show. :(

Just seeing Mr. Burton outside of reading rainbow is a blessing. He responsible for a whole generation of kids just like seasme Street.. Without him we would find reading boring n lame.. I’m 37 with no kids but once have them Read rainbow Mr Rodger’s an seasme street will be in rotation everyday.. Thnx Lavar much love peace an appreciation for u my brother.

~ I binge LeVar Burton's "Trivial Pursuit" shows. He is the perfect host for that show. It is so educational, calm, enjoyable, encouraging; all because of LeVar...Loved watching him for years hosting, "Reading Rainbow." ... Many blessings to him & his family! ♥
