    Claudia first appeared on 9/11/1996 after the beginning of the 14th season, they had technical problems with the signaling buttons and that disadvantaged her. So they brought her back on 1/2/1997. Her sister Kathryn was also on the show too.

    Thanks for the Pennies from Heaven video. Never heard that particular version but it’s very catchy and I really liked it.

      You’re welcome, kassidy. It’s so catchy my 5-year old granddaughter stopped playing with her toys and started dancing when I played it. 😄 And her mom said she recognized the voice of King Louie from “The Jungle Book”

    Well at least all the daily doubles are nailed. Although I would have loved to see Kate get this as well but I don’t think she will get the wild card spot. Speaking of pennies. There was a game called penny ante on the price is right VJ. And there was a band called pennywise and jcpenny. All have the word penny in them
