Rolonda Watts Career

Career

Watts, a Columbia, graduate, moved to North Carolina and began her work as a general assignment reporter at WFMY-TV in Greensboro, North Carolina. She served at WNBC, where she was nominated for an Emmy and WABC-TV in New York as an anchor of a weekly political forum and reporter. She began hosting Attitudes, a talk show on Lifetime Television in 1987. She took up a position as a senior reporter, weekend anchor, and producer on Inside Edition in the first year. King World Productions, the affiliate of Inside Edition and also The Oprah Winfrey Show, has since invited her to perform her own talk show. Rolonda aired for nearly four seasons from January 17, 1994 to September 1997. Watts was also a supervising producer and one of the show's founders. Watts said in a 2003 interview with Soap Opera Digest, she preferred to abandon the show rather than lose her credibility. "Well, that was really thoughtful of you to be so kind, but where's Jerry [Springer]?" We had to make a tough decision, either we went that route or we find something else to do."

Watts left her talk show behind and moved to Hollywood, California, to pursue a career in acting. She made her first appearance in 1997 as Vivica Shaw in Sister, Sister, a role she appeared in for six episodes. Watts has appeared in dozens of television series, including The West Wing, JAG, The District Yes, Dear, and soap operas Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful, since then. Soap Opera Digest named her "Scene Stealer of the Week" for her work as Soap Opera Digest's cut-throat Attorney Cameron Reese on Days of Our Lives in 2002. Watts Works Productions, her own production business, co-produced her talk show Rolonda, and Watts is also the CEO/president of her own production firm, Watts Works Productions. Lie Detector, a reality series for PAX-TV, was hosted by her in 2005. She took over as Judge Joe Brown's announcer that year. She appeared on "Great American Co-Host Search" on Live With Regis and Kelly, where she traveled around the country as a judge.

Watts returned to her talk-show roots in October 2006. She has joined GreenStone Media, a feminist radio network founded by feminists Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda, to host an afternoon radio show. She appeared on the show until the network's withdrawal in August 2007. Watts was then show announcer for the game show Temptation, which ran from September 2007 to May 2008. Watts is the voice of Professor Wiseman in the PBS Kids animated film Curious George, as well as voicing "Gladys" in the Nickelodeon series The Penguins of Madagascar. Watts is shooting two films right now, with five others awaiting publication, including her first starring role in A Mother's Love and leading roles in Christmas Mail, House Arrest, Soul Ties, Broken Roads, and 25 Hill, a Corbin Bernsen film. Josephine Baker is depicted in Watts' short film Return to Babylon. Dorothy Dandridge appears in the role of Dorothy Dandridge. Betsy Holiday appeared in Tyler Perry's first animated film Madea's Tough Love, and she recently appeared in it.

Rolonda began her show in June and August 2017 and was offered a radio show called Sundays with Rolonda by CBS Radio. Rolonda began directing ROmance via YouTube; she appeared in Bounce TV's Bounce TV's sitcom series Mann & Wife as a choir director in a principal casting role.

Wendy Williams' talk show poster REPLACES Sherri Shepherd's talk show poster

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 2, 2022
Sherri Shepherd's forthcoming daytime talk show has a poster. The Wendy Williams Show was on display at Chelsea Studios in New York City, replacing a long-standing picture of its predecessor, The Wendy Williams Show. According to TMZ, the poster was released on Thursday and occupied the exact same spot as the older advertisements. This past February, the 55-year-old comedian was announced as the 58-year-old media celebrity's replacement.

Sherri Shepherd has confirmed that her talk show will not be "mean," and that she intends to welcome Oprah and Meryl St. Stenep as guests

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 12, 2022
Sherri Shepherd has migrated from Los Angeles to New York City, where she will be seen in her own talk show, Sherri, vacating a time slot vacated by struggling Wendy Williams. And, the 55-year-old actress has told DailyMail.com what her current plans are for her new venture, which launches in September. One of the things she stressed was that there will be no mean jabs (unlike Wendy's Hot Topics segment, which often mocked the Kardashians), and she will certainly be celebrity friendly as she aims to attract some A-list guests such as Oprah and Meryl St. Pete.
