Ira sits down with the one and only Rhonda Shear—comedian, actress, entrepreneur, former Miss Louisiana, and the unforgettable hostess of USA Network’s cult-classic late-night showcase, "Up All Night." After nearly a decade of shaping the midnight movie experience from 1989 to 1998, "Up All Night" is making its long-awaited comeback, premiering October 25 on "Kings of Horror," a YouTube streaming powerhouse with more than 1.5 million subscribers and a massive community of horror fanatics.

In this episode, Rhonda takes us on a full-circle journey—
*From being cast on “Happy Days” and chasing sitcom dreams in Los Angeles
*To crafting her hilarious on-screen persona when Up All Night found her
*To building a wildly successful intimate apparel empire (yes, the Rhonda Shear brand!)
*To going to college before Hollywood ever came calling
*To rediscovering love after 40
She also shares how the revival came to life through a new collaboration with Kings of Horror, a channel known for its “blood-curdling family of horror enthusiasts” curating indie gems, cult classics, fresh releases, and fan-fueled marathons—all 14,000 titles deep.

Now, Rhonda’s bringing back the laughter—this time with comedy that’s fun, fearless, and refreshingly un-political. She reveals the Hollywood mentors who shaped her journey, how she’s booking directors and actors from the very films she features, and why this reboot isn’t just nostalgic—it’s personal.
If you loved staying up late with Rhonda the first time around… you’re going to love her even more now.
