'Hot in Cleveland' Star Has Cuyahoga Falls Connection

During an appearance on "The View," "Hot in Cleveland" co-star Valerie Bertinelli declared her love for Cleveland and said she could see relocating there in real life. 

She also mentioned that her husband, Tom Vitale, is from Cuyahoga Falls. 

Tom's father, Anthony Vitale, still lives in Cuyahoga Falls and confirmed that the couple expect to be in Cleveland Thursday and Friday.

The cast of "Hot in Cleveland" was expected in Cleveland for the season premier of the show in a private viewing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Wednesday. 

"I heard she's going to throw out the first pitch" at Friday's Cleveland Indians game, he said, "but I'm not too sure on that." 

Anthony Vitale doesn't have a cell number for Tom Vitale, so Tom Vitale could not be reached. 

The show is about three friends played by Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves  from Los Angeles who kind of discover Cleveland by accident and decide to stay. Add Betty White and you have a hit sit-com on TVLand. Members of the cast appeared on "The View" to promote Wednesday's season premier.
