“One thing is I’m going to be working on trying to write a book,” she said during an Instagram Live interview with GLAAD on Jan. 27. “My agent — which still feels like such a weird thing to say — really wants to get moving on that real quick while the publicity is out there. That’s what I know for sure.”

“I can’t be on another game show for six months with the exclusivity of Jeopardy!, but I would certainly be interested in that,” she continued. “I’m sort of seeing what else is out there. … For a while, [I’ve] kind of had an interest in voice acting.”

Schneider responded to a question about whether or not she was interested in hosting Jeopardy! by saying: “If somebody was to call and ask me to try out for it or whatever, I wouldn’t say no. That would definitely be something I’d be willing to explore.”
