| Biography of Caroline Rhea |
Rhea has said that her true training came from her first gigs at the comedy club Catch A Rising Star. Performing around New York City, she quickly gained a reputation, and a name in the city's competitive comedy scene. These performances were augmented with appearances on MTV's Half-Hour Comedy Hour, Comic Strip Live and Caroline's Comedy Hour. She decided to move to Los Angeles for a career in Hollywood, debuting in NBC television series Pride and Joy co-starring with Jeremy Piven. She gained most fame for her role as "Aunt Hilda" on the ABC and The WB's Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, as well as being a regular on the most recent incarnation of Hollywood Squares, with Tom Bergeron and Whoopi Goldberg (in the center square).
In 2002, Rhea landed her own syndicated daytime talk show, The Caroline Rhea Show. Rosie O'Donnell had hand-picked Rhea as her replacement. Rhea next went on to host the autumn series, The Biggest Loser on NBC, which was the first weight loss reality show in which overweight members of 2 teams try to lose the most weight, which began in 2004. Her show proved to be so popular in the first season, that The Biggest Loser would continue to air the show in around 70 countries, making Rhea a star phenomenon. She stayed on the show for 3 seasons until NBC announced on February 20, 2007 that Rhea will no longer be hosting "The Biggest Loser", due to her returning to stand-up comedy; she was replaced by Days of our Lives star Alison Sweeney.
She has appeared in Comic Relief 8, as well as the Ms. Foundation's "Women of Comedy from Caroline's Comedy Club" (no relation to Rhea). She also appeared as a contestant on a special edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. She had her own stand-up special as part of Bravo's three-part Funny Ladies series, along with Joan Rivers and Paula Poundstone. Rhea has also had a recurring role on the hit Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody as Ilsa Shickelgrubermeiger-Von Helsing der Keppelugerhofer who is an inspector turned manager of the rival hotel.
