–Schneider’s Odds to Take Over Hosting Put Her Right Behind LeVar Burton, Ken Jennings–
Amy Schneider’s odds of being the next permanent host of Jeopardy! are 3/1 (25% implied probability), according to betting aggregators US-Bookies.com (See Disclaimer Below). She follows LeVar Burton, who has 5/2 odds, and Ken Jennings, who is the 2/1 favorite.
“Though Amy Schneider finished short of breaking the consecutive games won record, oddsmakers don’t think we’ve seen the last of her on Jeopardy!,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “After her 40-win streak made her the first woman to surpass $1 million in winnings, Schneider now has the third-best odds to take over as the show’s next permanent host.”
Mike Richards and David Faber follow Schneider, both tied with 5/1 odds to be the next permanent host (16.7%). They’re followed by Aaron Rodgers at 7/1 (12.5%).
“The Jeopardy! host odds are the same as they were this summer, with Schneider’s appearance being the only change since August,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “The rest of the field, including current co-hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik, haven’t changed, suggesting that bookies aren’t counting out a change in the current hosting plan.”

–Oddsmakers Suggest Ken Jennings, LeVar Burton are Once Again Top Two Picks to be Next Host–
The odds of Mayim Bialik stepping down as the host of Jeopardy! are 12/1 (7.7% implied probability), according to betting aggregators US-Bookies. However, her odds of staying on as the permanent host are 10/1 (9.1%)
“Mike Richards stepped down soon after being named the next permanent co-host, but the bookies don’t think this will be the case for Bialik,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “However, other fan favorites have better odds to take over the role, suggesting producers may opt to replace Bialik.”
Ken Jennings is once again the favorite to take over as the next permanent host of Jeopardy! Jennings’ odds were as weak as 11/1 (8.3% implied probability) following the Mike Richards news, but they have since improved to 2/1 (33.3%). Similarly, LeVar Burton also improved from 11/1 (8.3%) to 5/2 (28.6%) during this time.
“The odds for practically all potential hosts now resemble what they were before news emerged of Richards being in negotiations to take over the role,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “At this point, it seems like either Jennings or Burton will be announced to be the next permanent host.”
