From the Niagara Falls Review:
Regis Philbin started the week off telling the world about meeting Claudia Santini-Visca, but the Niagara Falls girl was making it through another Monday morning in Grade 5.
“I didn’t know anything. I was surprised when I heard about it,” Claudia said Monday after hearing she was featured prominently when Philbin told his TV audience about his weekend visit to Niagara Falls.
Ten-year-old Claudia spent Friday night schmoozing with Philbin, the popular host of the ‘Live With Regis and Kelly’ talk show before his performance at the Niagara Fallsview Casino.
“It was fun and exciting. He sounds and looks the exact same as he does on his show,” Claudia said Monday during her lunch break at Mary Ward elementary school.
