About Rolonda and Where She is Now ...
Rolonda’s name, face, and distinctive voice have been known by audiences everywhere, thanks to her many Emmy award-winning works in television, radio, film, theatre, digital media, stand-up comedy, motivational speaking and best-selling author of DESTINY LINGERS, her award-winning romance suspense novel, endorsed by Dr. Maya Angelou.
Most know her by one name, Rolonda, under which she launched her own internationally syndicated talk show (1994-1998), produced by King World Productions and Watts Works Productions. After leaving her talk show behind, Watts headed to Hollywood, California to pursue a career in acting. Her first break was in 1997 when she was cast as Vivica Shaw, a recurring role on the hit show Sister, Sister.
Watts landed numerous guest-starring roles in dozens of television shows, including Criminal Minds, Bull, West Wing and soap operas Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful. Ro’s deep, rich, and raspy voice is one of the most recognized in the voiceover business and landed Watts in numerous projects including the voice of Professor Wiseman in the PBS Kids animated program Curious George, as well as voicing "Gladys" in the Nickelodeon series The Penguins of Madagascar.
Rolonda returned to daytime TV in 2022 as the Announcer and Promo Voice for Sherri Shepherd's daytime talk show, "Sherri," which has been recently renewed for a third season, boasting high viewership and critical acclaim. Sherri often refers to Rolonda as a “daytime talk show legend” and has asked her to serve as a comedian judge for Sherri’s Funny Over 50 Comedy Contest, putting Rolonda’s sharp wit and comedic chops on full display.
2024 has been an exceptional year for Rolonda whose career has never been busier, as she becomes part of the dynamic for Bounce TV’s new comedy series “Mind Your Business” which just got it’s second season after handling it’s own business, reaching more than 2 million HHs, becoming Bounce TV's most-watched original series premiere. Rolonda plays Lucille, the family matriarch who keeps it sassy and real with a heart full of love.
Rolonda will also play the recurring role of Adrienne Holland in the Netflix sitcom, “Survival of the Thickest."
This year also marks a milestone in Rolonda’s career when The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) announced that Rolonda would be inducted into the Silver Honor Society for her lifetime achievements in television at the 2024 Emmys. “To be honored by the academy for all of my works in television over 40 years is an absolute dream come true,” said Rolonda. “Whether hosting a daytime talk show, acting in a soap opera, or being the announcer or voice for a production, tv is my life and passion.”
Years before her talk show and extensive acting career, Rolonda was an investigative news reporter, anchorwoman and producer for Inside Edition, WABC-TV Eyewitness News, WNBC, New Jersey Nightly News, and WFMY- TV.
Rolonda holds degrees from Spelman College and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism as well as an Honorary Doctorate from Winston-Salem State University.
