The audio circulates online as an Eric Andre clip, and its joke depends on who LeVar Burton is to many viewers. Burton became a familiar television presence as the host of Reading Rainbow and as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation, roles linked with learning, warmth, and thoughtful leadership.
