With that said, George Stephanopoulos has considerably more favorable odds at +325, and Ken Jennings odds are +100.
While it is true that LeVar Burton is the third-highest person on oddsmakers’ list to host Jeopardy!, it should be stated that Burton’s odds of becoming host currently aren’t rated as entirely likely.
Burton’s odds of becoming host are currently at +900, which is better than the next man in line Neil deGrasse Tyson who has +1400 odds.
When compared to those two, it seems like the people determining bets do not think Burton are incredibly high.
