"Reading Rainbow" Host LeVar Burton Reads "Go The F*ck To Sleep"

    It's everything you want it to be. (NSFW, unless you have headphones.)

    LeVar Burton was the face of TV staple Reading Rainbow for 23 years.

    The show had a multiple-generation run from 1983 to 2006.

    The Hollywood Reporter caught Burton reading the book for podcast Rooster Teeth's charity drive.

    Rooster Teeth teamed up with Extra Life, a gaming fundraising platform, to benefit the Children's Miracle Network Hospital. The live-stream participants sitting cross-legged look like a group of giggly little kids. (There's even a dog!)

    The drive surpassed expectations, raising almost half a million dollars:

    23454 posters sold & $243,030 in donations. $442,389 total raised. Words escape us. Thank you, RT Community and friends. #RTExtraLife

    Still can't get over how we raised nearly half a million dollars. This community continues to amaze me. #RTExtraLife

    Go the Fuck to Sleep flew off bookstore shelves upon its release three years ago.
