Twin Competes on ‘Jeopardy!’ 12 Years After Her Sister

Kara Peruccio, an assistant professor at the University of Maine, won her first Jeopardy! Game on May 9, 2025, ending Dan Moren's two-day $33,500 streak.
Peruccio, who has a twin sister Caitlin who competed on Jeopardy! In 2013, auditioned for the show on September 5, 2024, and secured her spot amid Covid-19's local casting focus.
During the game, Moren led early after finding a Daily Double and wagering $1,000 correctly, but Peruccio took the lead near the end by correctly answering most Property Watching questions.
Peruccio wagered $200 in Final Jeopardy with the category Literary Narrators, answering 'What is The Decameron?' to finish with $12,400 and claim the night's championship.
Peruccio will return for her second game on May 12, 2025, facing two new opponents, while fans and host Ken Jennings acknowledged the continuation of the Peruccio family tradition on Jeopardy!.
