..From 1994 to 2000, Rita hosted the weekly TV variety show "Friday Night," where she co-hosted for two years with various talent and then went solo in 1996. "Friday Night" was cancelled by NBC on December 29, 2000, leaving the show at its highest ratings in years. Some of Rita's duties on "Friday Night" included screening and reviewing movies, interviewing actors, comedians, musicians, and athletes; participating in demonstrations and comedy sketches; and going on the road to visit unique and exciting spots throughout the United States.Some of the highlights of Rita's career at "Friday Night" included surfing and jet boating with world renowned extremist Laird Hamilton, going for an hour long, stunt filled flight with the Navy's Blue Angels (where even she was surprised that she didn’t get sick!), operating NASA's flight simulators with astronaut Captain Jim Wetherbee (crashing the Shuttle on landing), dancing and singing with Boyz II Men, being face to face with many exotic animals, performing live for NBC's New Year's Eve show from the top of Times Square, dancing in various music videos, and working with some of the top comedians in comedy bits.Interested in becoming a better actress herself, Rita was particularly thrilled when she got the chance to sit down and talk with performers such as Jim Carrey, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicolas Cage, and Will Smith. Her biggest dream, however, is to either work with or at least have one of these conversations with her idol Mel Gibson.Rita was born in San Francisco, California, and is the youngest of seven children. All this attention at home often led to her getting into trouble at school for being the class clown. She grew up with the hopes of being either a pilot, a television producer, or an actress. Eventually she landed a job as an NBC page which led to other work both in front of and behind the camera, including working on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" during its first year.In her spare time, Rita enjoys singing, karate, trying new sports, watching old movies, hanging out with her three dogs, and of course, shopping!
