#From LeVar Burton to Ozzy Osbourne, Twitter Has Ideas About ‘Jeopardy!’s Next Host

As people continue the guessing game of who will replace beloved Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, who died of pancreatic cancer on November 8, it’s clear that fans themselves have some very strong ideas.

WhileTrebek himself vouched for CNN legal analyst Laura Coates and L.A. Kings announcer Alex Faust, and TV Insider readers voted for two of the “Greatest of All Time” contestants, people on Twitter have other thoughts.

So far, LeVar Burton is a frontrunner among fans, but others think one of his Star Trek: The Next Generation costars would be a good fit, too. Here are some celebs that fans would love to see behind the Jeopardy! podium.

Reading Rainbow Host LeVar Burton

One thing people from all political parties appear to agree on: @levarburton should be the next host of @Jeopardy.

I understand why Ken Jennings seems like a great choice to host Jeopardy…

And yet, pretty sure we all know LeVar Burton is the perfect choice.

But you don’t have to take my word for it… pic.twitter.com/F5J1s1ag6H

I saw LeVar Burton trending and IMMEDIATELY realized people threw his name in the hat to host Jeopardy. It’s the only logical choice. This man was on my TV as a kid, I wanna see his ass on my TV on my death bed.

Patriot Act Host Hasan Minhaj

While I mourn for Trebek more than my own family,
I must reiterate. @hasanminhaj is unemployed and his parents would very proud of him if he were the next @Jeopardy host
