NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- A bevy of stars will battle it out with their brains this fall when the venerable U.S. television series "Jeopardy" marks its 5,000th episode.
The two-week "Celebrity Jeopardy" tournament will be aired in November and will feature actors Martin Short and Susan Lucci, TV hosts Rachel Ray and Nancy Grace, and Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.
Also on the roster are Paul Schaefer, Neil Patrick Harris, Soledad O'Brien and Regis Philbin.
