Door to Amelia Santaniello's dressing room at "The Talk"/CBS

Amelia Santaniello's stint as guest co-host Wednesday on CBS's "The Talk" may not have been as big nationally as, say, Regis Philbin joining Kathie Lee Gifford for a reunion, but it sure resonated with Twin Cities viewers.

According to WCCO, about 115,000 people in the area watched the episode. That makes it the most-watched episode of "The Talk" locally since it debuted in fall 2010. It's also a 167 percent over what the show has been averaging in June.

If "The Talk" wants more Twin Cities viewers, it may want to think about inviting Amelia back more often.
