Biography
Maria Sansone was born February 26, 1981, in Erie, Pennsylvania. A natural-born entertainer, she was discovered at the age of 11 when she took part in a mini slam-dunk contest at an Erie Wave basketball game. "I guess I was kind of a ham and made everybody laugh," she recalls. "So one of the local news anchors there was covering the game and he interviewed me because he thought I was so funny... He thought I was pretty well-spoken for an 11-year-old." The segment proved to be so popular that Maria was offered an official position at the network. "The next thing you know, I had my own spot on the news three times a week where I was interviewing kids and interviewing some famous sports celebrities also," she says. Those celebrities included megastars like Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan, Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, and Dodgers skipper Tommy Lasorda. Sansone started in television at age eleven when Mike Gallagher of WJET-TV in Erie hired her to host her own children's sport show, Down to Size. She interviewed Michael Jordan, Bill Cowher, Tommy Lasorda, and other sports figures. Sansone later did several sports reports for ABC Sports, including interviews from the Little League World Series, Wide World of Sports, and the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Sansone played basketball while attending high school at Villa Maria Academy (Erie, Pennsylvania) and graduated from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications in 2003. While a junior at Syracuse she co-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly with Regis Philbin while Kelly Ripa was on maternity leave. Sansone is a contributor to EXTRA, the TV Guide Channel, ESPN and New England Sports Network (NESN) covering the Boston Red Sox. She is also a former mtvU VJ. She currently resides in New York City.
