LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Jeopardy! is resuming production next week with guest hosts that will start with an appearance by Ken Jennings, according to the show's executive producer.

A tweet from the quiz show stated "a series of interim guest hosts from the Jeopardy! family" will be reading the answers when it relaunches following the Nov. 8 death of Alex Trebek.

Earlier this year, Jennings claimed the title of Jeopardy!’s “Greatest of All Time.” He also holds the all-time records for most consecutive games won (74) and highest winnings in regular-season play ($2,520,700).
