LeVar Burton Reads “Go the F*** to Sleep” (NSFW)

Despite iconic roles like Kunta Kinte in Roots and Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, LeVar Burton’s greatest achievement in television might be Reading Rainbow, the PBS show Burton hosted in the 1980s and 90s which promoted children’s literacy.

After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this spring to relaunch the show, Burton stopped by Rooster Teeth’s Extra Life 24-hour webcast—a pledge drive raising money for children’s medical needs—this past weekend to read to adults for a change. Reading the bestselling children’s book for parents, Go the Fuck to Sleep, Burton had fun with his status as a known proponent of reading to kids.

Burton’s performance may not have reached the dramatic heights of Werner Herzog’s reading but he certainly topped Samuel L. Jackson’s.
