This was just confirmed on SVT. Christer Björkman said something along the lines of "I don't think of myself as the host, more like I'm inviting people to a party".

List of co-hosts:

Lena Philipsson (semi 1)
Oscar Zia and Anis Don Demina (semi 2)
Timbuktu (semi 3)
Per Andersson (semi 4)
Shirley Clamp (andra chansen)
Måns Zelmerlöw and Shima Niavarani (finale)

I love Shima, so I'll give her and Måns the benefit of the doubt. The rest...

I'm imagining
"Det är ingen stjärnstudio, Henric! Henric!"

Been thinking about the former pre-contest “obvious winners” and wondering how many of them actually managed to snatch that trophy...

2011: this was Eric’s from the get go
2012: totally Danny’s to win until Loreen’s legendary performance in the first semi won her Mello and Eurovision right then and there.
2013: I honestly don’t remember if there was a clear cut favorite this year? I think Yohio had a lot of hype, as did Ulrik and... Dovid Shitgren for some reason. Anyways, Robin was deffo not one of them, specially competing in the same year as Amanda Fondell (poor ha), who won Swedish Idol over him.
2014: again, I don’t remember if there was an obvious favorite? Maybe YOHIO? I think Sanna was always among the favorites, but YOHIO, Paparizou, Alcazar and Anton were up there in the odds as well.
2015: this one was always between Måns and Eric. I don’t remember what the odds were before semi1 (when Eric performed and everyone discovered Sting was SHIT), but Måns was #1 for pretty much the entire time after that.
2016: poor Molly...
2017: I think it’s fair to say Robin was not a runaway favorite here. Loreen, Mariette, Ace, FO&O and Wiktoria had a lot of hype.
2018: I think this one was always Benji’s??? King
2019: acts like Jon Henrik and LIAMOO/Hanna Ferm had some hype, but I remember John’s boring ass was a favorite from the very beginning.
2020: well....... this one was expected to go to Hanna or FELIX SANDMAN, wasn’t it?

Ok so there we have it. Only about 4 of the “obvious winners” from the past 10 years have actually won the whole thing. I was expecting more than that, to be honest.
 
he/him
Since Charlotte's victory in 2008 I feel like the pre-contest favourite has always been whoever's given the closing slot in the final deltävling - in most cases the buzz evaporating after the song inevitably fails to meet expectations. Ulrik Munther, Anton Ewald and Molly Sandén being some of the casualties of the hype train in recent years.
