LeVar Burton is in the final stages of a deal to host and executive produce a TV adaptation of the popular board game Trivial Pursuit.

Great. I'll definitely watch it. I'm a fan of LeVar Burton's, and we coincidentally share the same birthdate, different years though.

Hasbro can approve a new version of Scrabble, but they can't sign off on BUZZR showing the Chuck Woolery reruns? SMH.
