    It's time for some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities to hit the books. 

    Ahead of its series premiere next month, the guests for Celebrity Jeopardyhave been announced. Ray Romano, Patton Oswalt, Michael Cera, Marvel star Simu Liu, Fresh Off the Boat's Constance Wu, and former The Talk host Aisha Tyler are among those set to compete for a cash prize that will be awarded to the charity of their choice. Rounding out the lineup is The Office star B.J. Novak, funnylady Iliza Shlesinger, and WNBA All-Star Candace Parker. 

    Host Mayim Bialik, who recently signed a deal to continue hosting Jeopardy alongside Ken Jennings, will take the reins of this spinoff, testing the star-studded cast on their trivia knowledge each week. "It's the OG Jeopardy, with celebrities," said Bialik. "Let's hope they've been reading more than screenplays!"
