Jimmy Kimmel Replacement Betting: Gutfeld, Von and Hinchcliffe Among Favourites
Although Jimmy Kimmel Live! has returned to US television, speculation persists over who could eventually take the reins if Kimmel steps aside.
Bookmakers continue to offer odds on his replacement, with a surprising list of frontrunners emerging.
At the top of the market is Greg Gutfeld (4/1), Fox News host and late-night rival.
Popular with conservative audiences, Gutfeld has experience in the time slot and is seen as a bold potential replacement.
What the expert says...
Jimmy Kimmel Replacement Odds
| Potential Replacement | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Greg Gutfeld | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Theo Von | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Tony Hinchcliffe | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Tiffany Haddish | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Andrew Schulz | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Stephen A. Smith | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Conservative Voices Dominate the Market
What stands out about the replacement betting is the prominence of figures popular with conservative audiences.
Alongside Gutfeld, both podcaster Theo Von (5/1) and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe (7/1) sit high in the market.
Hollywood star Tiffany Haddish (10/1) offers a contrasting choice, while Andrew Schulz (12/1) and ESPN’s outspoken analyst Stephen A. Smith (12/1) also appear as intriguing outside options.
Which Late-Night Show Could Be Axed Next?
In addition to Kimmel speculation, bookmakers are also offering odds on which late-night show could face cancellation next.
| Show / Host | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| The Tonight Show (Jimmy Fallon) | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| The Daily Show (Jon Stewart) | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Jimmy Fallon is even-money favourite to be the next to go, amid falling ratings and stiff competition.
Jon Stewart (4/1) and John Oliver (5/1) are also on the radar for potential exits.
Any sort of comment about Donald Trump may well see pressure build on their shows.
What Happens Next?
For now, Jimmy Kimmel remains firmly in place at ABC, but speculation around his eventual replacement fuels interest in the betting markets.
Whether it’s conservative personalities like Gutfeld or unexpected picks like Tiffany Haddish, the race to succeed Kimmel remains open.
Meanwhile, the wider late-night landscape looks increasingly uncertain, with Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show under most immediate pressure.
