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 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.
