Another Pittsburgh-area resident will be competing on “Jeopardy!”

Daniel Moore, a contract compliance analyst, will appear on the game show airing Friday on NBC.

“Jeopardy!” airs locally at 7:30 p.m. on WPXI.

Several other Pittsburgh area residents have appeared on the popular, long-running game show recently.

Among them are Erin Sheedy, a 2018 Oakland Catholic High School graduate who grew up in Thornburg. She competed Tuesday, but didn’t win.

Beaver oral and facial surgeon Chris Ban appeared on the June 27 and 28 episodes. He put his winnings toward building the “Michael McNaughton Ban Memorial Boathouse” for the North Allegheny Rowing Association, where he rowed alongside his late younger brother in high school.

Morningside resident Laura Caton, who works as manager of operations for the school associated with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, flew to Los Angles in January to film an episode that aired in April.

Last year, Pittsburgh resident Margaret Shelton had four straight wins before being defeated and ending her nearly weeklong run. She amassed $79,700 in earnings over her winning streak.
