This post is funny AND touching. Gather ’round kids and get your funny first… Uncle LeVar aka young Kunta Kinte (‘Roots’) aka Lt. Commander Geordi Laforge (Star Trek: The Next Generation) is going to read one more nighty-night story. Just ONE more, and y’all are really pushing it.

For reaching our stretch goal, LeVar Burton sits the Rooster Teeth employees down for a reading of the popular “bedtime story.” This was done as part of Rooster Teeth’s 24-hour live-stream for Extra Life. Consider making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital of your choice. Visit http://www.extra-life.org/ to find out what you can do to help.

Well, done Commander. Well f–king done! Info on the very worthy cause for which Mr. Burton willingly stepped far outside his public persona to read, Extra Life, is included after the jump.

(Warning: Get some tissue.)
