 If you grew up on Reading Rainbow you'll be excited to learn that it's back! Like many nostalgic things, this could really only be successful with the right host, and I have to say, I think they nailed it! Mychal Threets took the reins as host when the show reboot aired on Saturday! It's been almost 20 years since the show stopped airing new episodes in 2006. 

In the announcement introducing Mychal as host, he said, "I am a reader, I am a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow so powerfully made us believe we belong in books, we belong everywhere."
