How about a whole generation that LOVES LeVar Burton from Reading Rainbow? I have such a deep emotional attachment to that show.

I still love hearing Levar read stories. He has a podcast where he reads all sorts of novels and short stories, Levar Burton reads I think. His voice and storytelling is so good. Maybe it's just nostalgia but he made reading cool and had such a positive influence on me. love em

​@@kasunlee7489 I was wondering about that. I know he's not blind like Geordi obviously, but the way he stares wide here, and in the 'Word Up' music video, etc. made me wonder if he had mild vision issues

LeVar is an amazing guy, he's positively influenced so many people in so many ways.

...Ugh, not really... You do know that the vast majority of people over the age of 3 would have never heard of "Reading Rainbow" other then by being fans of TNG, right? It's literally a PBS show... how moronic do you have to be to be watching PBS last age 7? Like, Nickelodeon existed. And, you know, CBS. By the time you're 8 you are just a "little" to old to have some man reading books to you?? Especially children's books when you are already reading Goosebumps and Narnia and BFG???

The funny thing is that this interview aired January 1997, a couple months after "Star Trek: First Contact" premiered where Geordi actually loses the visor and wears contacts instead.

LeVar Burton is doing a GREAT job hosting Jeopardy! I watched his all the time when I was younger; both on Reading Rainbow, and Star Trek. He's awesome. I hope he gets the hosting job on Jeopardy.

Sadly he didn't, the producer of the show got the job and Mayim Bialik is hosting another version of Jeopardy. He should've gotten the hosting job, he was perfect.

I knew LeVar when we were both kids growing up in Sacramento. He was full of energy and very driven at 9.

I am older and know him from Roots, Next Generation, and Reading Rainbow, now Picard. He is great every time.

The man has always had class

I love LeVar. LOL is funny seeing him geeked up tho.

he's a very serious guy, I didn't expect that.

I grew up in the 90s with tng and reading rainbow. Geordi la forge was and still is one of my favorite characters. Im an engineer today thanks in no small part to characters and people like that. That stuff has an impact on people

If this is 1997, they had already made Generations and First Contact. Geordi didn't wear the visor anymore in First Contact.

Fun fact: 2 models of the U.S.S. Enterprise were used in Star Trek (1966-1969). One is 3 feet long and the other is 11 feet long. The 11ft studio model of the U.S.S. Enterprise is on display in the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC

I read aftermath when it came out. Good story.

I always wondered about that visor... sounds very unpleasant

@CaptRazer

There were actually many versions of the visor that were used depending on the angle of the shot, so not only was it a very tight fit he was endlessly having to detach and reattach them.

I just wanted a picture!

I like his name. And I love Star Trek. Nothing compares to the original cast. My favourite is Captain Picard though. 😍

Got into Star Trek becuase of him, not from Roots though. But from the highlights of my "Its school-time on a friday, so lets roll out the tv and watch Reading Rainbow" years. ^_^

His book probably wasn’t featured on Reading Rainbow.

I actually read that book soon after it came out (sometime in 1997). Was a good book. Almost like a horror movie, and what made it so horrific was it's plausibility

I don't care,I was a reading rainbow fan, which kept me out of trouble. Then, as a Treky, he definitely became one of my favorites 😊

I'm forever attached to him from Reading Rainbow

oof that prison section was kinda rough

God I miss the 90s

If Tim Allen was the guest he could talk longer about the time he was in prison. Working of course.

I wish I were LeVar Burton!

What episode of reading rainbow did LeVar Burton's head get shaved?

Take a look, It's in a book, The Reading Rainbow.... Iii caan go anywhere....

I reading rainbow, I can go anywhere, take a look it's in a book, a reading rainbow (a reading rainbow), a reading rainbow (a reading rainbow..rainbow ..rainbow)

Uh... sounds like reality is on track to LeVar's predictions in his book.

R.I.P he was a fine lad....

Reading Rainbow!

The Boomers have LeVar for Roots The Gen Xers have him for Star Trek And the Millennials have him for Reading Rainbow. That’s what we call a multi-generational role model.

Reading Rainbow with DMX is comedy platinum. Why LeVar is not the host of Jeopardy is because of DMX and KZread. But we'll get there one day... Blossom is fine.

Even more accurate would be to say that race doesn't even scientifically exist. It's a bad hangover from Victorian era "white" racist pseudoscience that tried to pigeonhole different people into artificial, hierarchical taxonomies.

@@dHolbach77 Race exists only as much as someone might have more genetics from the original ~10 extant ancient 'family' lines. Which 23&Me and the DNA sites are revealing. But there are definitely racial populations in homogenous regions (e.g. Japan, Korea), where the social constructs around ethnicity discourage interracial marriage. None of this means that we should ignore how intermarried we all are, or ever revisit the terrible Victorian scientific racism around racial intelligence. But its silly to dismiss things like Sickle cell, celiac, aldehyde alcohol intolerance, malaria resistance, etc. which obviously have racial genetic components. Not just socioeconomic ones. I never bring this up to rl racists tho, because I dont want to give them any broad ideas to somehow justify their hate.
