OK. I’m going out on a limb here. If I carefully parse the DQ answers, nothing excludes this possibility. We may have gotten sidetracked by the daytime Emmy answer and are missing the bigger picture. #16 explicitly referred to the Emmy-winning show and not anything else. My Are You? question: Are you LeVar Burton, who I believe won multiple daytime Emmys for hosting and producing _Reading Rainbow_? None of the other answers rule out _Roots_ and _Star Trek: The Next Generation_ (Of course, if he gets the _Jeopardy_ gig, then the answer to #23 changes) ---
