Cleveland mayor gives 'Hot in Cleveland' cast keys to the city

CLEVELAND - Several hundred people showed up at Cleveland's Tower City Center Thursday to get a chance to meet the cast of "Hot in Cleveland."

Betty White, Vallerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick were in Cleveland to meet the locals and help kick off  Hot in Cleveland's new season.

Betty White was impressed with the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. She took time to feed some of the giraffes by hand.

Jane Leeves said, "Cleveland is America's best kept secret."

After scanning the crowd, Valerie Bertinelli spotted a sign that read "Who needs LeBron when Cleveland has Betty!"

"We love you Cleveland. You don't need LeBron," said Bertinelli.

Mayor Frank Jackson presented keys to the city to the entire cast.

"We want the ladies to know that they've done so much for Cleveland that they are welcome anytime" said Jackson.
