The audiobook was mostly narrated by Ken Jennings, who succeeded Trebek on November 30, 2020, by taping seven days (seven weeks) worth of episodes (he would later be named permanent host in July 2022); a foreword was read by Trebek. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards, losing to Rachel Maddow's Blowout.[5]
