"There is no harder place to work," says Rhea describing her nightly gigs at New York’s venerable comedy clubs. Her status soon skyrocketed and Rhea was evolving into an integral part of New York’s highly competitive comedy scene. It was not long after her yearlong stint at Catch A Rising Star, that college campuses were clamoring for her stand-up shows. Her success was helped greatly with appearances on "MTV’s Half-Hour Comedy Hour", "Comic Strip Live" and numerous appearances on Caroline’s Comedy Hour".

The nationwide attention from all of rhea’s television appearances soon had Hollywood knocking on her door. With the assistance of noted television producer Fred Silverman, Rhea taped two talk show pilots. While neither one of the projects was picked up, the experience left Rhea hungry for more television work.

While continuing her stand-up, an even mixture of satirical observations and personal anecdotes, this transplanted Manhattanite found herself back in Hollywood starring along with Julie Warner and Jeremy Piven in NBC’s "Pride and Joy". Other memorable TV appearances include Rhea’s guest starring stint as Drew’s girlfriend on "The Drew Carey Show", ABC’s "All Star TGIF Magic", and her own VH1 series, "Fool for Love", and the Ms. Foundation’s "Women of Comedy from Carolines" featured on Lifetime.

Entering her fourth season on ABC’s "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," Rhea continues to shine in her role as the loveable ‘Aunt Hilda’. With its blend of special effects and tounge-in-cheek comedy, "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" is now a hit, which leads off ABC’s noted T.G.I.F. programming block.

Rhea’s other recent television appearances include "Comic Relief 8" and The Foundation’s "Women of Comedy from Caroline’s" feature on Lifetome as the host of "The Great Lifetime Makeover" produced be Geena Davis.
