THE View fans have been left shocked after beloved guest LeVar Burton made a huge blunder while appearing on the show on Thursday.
The ex-Jeopardy! guest host has made sure his true feelings were known during a heated discussion on book banning.
The moment happened after The View host Joy Behar asked him about the current banning of books happening in the country.
She said during the discussion: “Over the last few years, there has been an ongoing push to ban more children's books.
"Especially about race, sexuality, and basically American history."
LeVar was nodding along and grunting his disapproval, and then Joy asked him to give a full "reaction" to all of it.

Recently, fans were hoping he’d take over as the host of Jeopardy! after the passing of longtime emcee Alex Trebek.
The show brought him on for a short period as a guest host but ultimately decided to have Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings as alternating hosts on the show.
Who of those two will be given the permanent role has not yet been revealed.
In an interview shared last week, LeVar slammed Jeopardy! and its disgraced producer Mike Richards for the “distasteful” way they snubbed him from the job.
It started with him being given a guest spot for episodes that aired during the Olympics, which fans believe contributed to lower ratings than they would’ve wanted.
LeVar said he also partially agreed with some fan’s thinking that he was “duped by the process” a bit, saying “it was not a competition to find a new host, really, because the fix was always in.”
He added: “It was only scandal that forced Sony Pictures Television to go in a different direction.
“In fact, they tried to keep [Mike, who later stepped down due to misogynistic comments] on [as host]. I mean, I don’t need to rehash the chain of events.
“It really wasn’t what they said it was. And so my conclusion is I got what I asked for: I got a tryout, I got a chance to guest host.”

“The way they got there was very distasteful and turned me off,” he said. “So I’m happy to have not gotten that job.”
