Don’t let the anniversary of Geroge Floyd’s murder be an excuse to ignore history OPINION: It's important to remember Floyd in the context of violence against Black Americans and not as a turning point. Not doing so erases the names that came before him. George Floyd (Photo: George Floyd Family) Last week, my editor asked me if I wanted to do an essay for the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder (we can say that now, the trial proved it and everything) and I quickly said yes. Then just as quickly I was confounded about what I would say. Initially, I thought it was because 2020 was such a complicated year overall.
Instead, Jay, a black lesbian comedian who grew up in and around the projects of Boston, wanted something looser, freer, more reflective of the actual late-night conversations sheâd have with friends over drinks in her New York apartment. She wanted a kickback, the type of freewheeling group hang desperately scarce during the past year of lockdowns. Gregarious, with barreling energy best showcased by her 2020 Netflix special 3 in the Morning, Jay loves to host people, testing new material through good-natured, blunt provocation. Why not let the cameras lurk?

Imagine that, a Black Jeopardy host! The Reading Rainbow legend Levar Burton wants to be the next Jeopardy host. Since the sad passing of Alex Trebek last year, there have been several temporary hosts, but a permanent one hadn’t filled the position. As reported on The Jasmine Brand, Burton shared a petition about having him as the host. The message says, “Between hosting 21 seasons of the educational Reading Rainbow, playing the brainiac engineer Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and filling the role of Kunta Kinte in the ever-important mini-series Roots, LeVar Burton has inspired and shaped the minds of several generations of trivia-loving nerds. This petition is to show Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. and producers Mike Richards and Harry Friedman just how much love the public has for Burton and how much we’d all love to see him as the next host of Jeopardy!”
