LeVar Burton Becomes a God Filming New 'Reading Rainbow' Opener - VIDEO

By Cassandra Rose ·

As you may have heard by now, the children's television show with a focus on literacy, Reading Rainbow, is coming back to teach kids about the fun of reading. Thanks Kickstarter!

To celebrate this triumph, host LeVar Burton teamed up with Funny or Die to create a brand new opener.

Until he realizes he has all the powers of a god and things turn real dark real fast.

And this kids, is why reading is way cool.

You can watch the new theme above, complete with all your favorite green screen technology plus the infectious Reading Rainbow theme song plus LeVar Burton channeling some Kanye West.

Will someone please hurry up with his damn croissants so LeVar Burton stops re-enacting Fahrenheit 451?
