Rita Rudner's appearances in the late '80s on The Tonight Show, Late Night with Letterman and Comic Relief established her as one of the country's premier stand-up comedians. Winner of the 1990 American Comedy Award for Funniest Stand Up Comedienne, she starred in her first award-winning HBO special "Born To Be Mild" later that same year.
In 1992, Rudner made her film debut in "Peter's Friends" alongside Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh. Rudner also co-wrote the film. Her first book "Naked Beneath My Clothes" was published by Viking-Penguin in 1993 and quickly became a bestseller. The audio version of the book received a Grammy nomination. In total she has written four books; two non-fiction and two novels.
Since 2001, Rudner has performed almost exclusively in Las Vegas, selling over one million tickets. She moved to a larger theater at The Venetian in 2011. She also created and hosted the syndicated improvisational comedy show "Ask Rita," which mimicked the format of a talk/advice show. In 2009 she performed for Senator Harry Reid and President Barack Obama at Caesars Palace alongside Bette Midler and Sheryl Crow.
In 2012, Rudner appeared as Melissa's mom on the sitcom "Melissa & Joey."
