Canadian actor Simu Liu of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will face-off against the famed game board, as well as fellow actors Ray Romano, B.J. Novak, Michael Cera, Aisha Tyler, Constance Wu, and Patton Oswalt. WNBA star-turned-commentator Candace Parker and comedian Iliza Shlesinger will also join the star-studded lineup. The competitors will be gracing our screens to compete for money—but not for themselves! Instead, earnings from gameplay will go toward a charity of each A-lister’s choice. “It’s the OG Jeopardy, with celebrities,” show host Mayim Bialik said in a preview clip, adding, “Let’s hope they’ve been reading more than screenplays.” As Parade reported, it was confirmed in July that Bialik and Ken Jennings will continue to split hosting duties permanently. The Call Me Kat star will oversee this new primetime edition, while Jeopardy! GOAT Jennings is set to kick off the regular season in September. In addition, he will also host both the inaugural Second Chance competition and the next Tournament of Champions featuring Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Ryan Long and others. Aside from Celebrity Jeopardy!, executive producer Michael Davies recently spoke of future plans to add to the show’s family of spinoffs. “With all of our plans for Jeopardy! — which is more Jeopardy!, not less, more versions — we’re going to need multiple hosts to represent the entire audience, to represent the entire country, in order to take this franchise forward,” he told Variety in June. Celebrity Jeopardy! premieres Sunday, Sept. 25 at 8/7c on ABC. More News:
