It looks like he actually favors Jon Stweart not Crystal based on the odds you give.

Thanks Jeff. The odds for Crystal are actually 5-2. We've corrected it in the story.

Looks like he was off. Wonder what Alec Baldwin's odds would have been? 10,000 to 1?

Billy Crystal is the best ever host. Ellen follows close as second.
