    OPINIONish on RHONDA SHEAR: S1 E13 - Glamour, Giggles & Going Up All Night

    What REALLY happened behind the scenes of USA Up All Night? How did Rhonda Shear go from beauty queen to stand-up comic, Hollywood actress, entrepreneur, and one of the most recognizable faces in late-night television? In this episode of OPINIONish, Mitch English and Travis Dale sit down with the legendary Rhonda Shear for a hilarious, revealing, and surprisingly inspiring conversation that covers everything from Hollywood in the ’80s and ’90s to building a multi-million-dollar business from the ground up. Rhonda shares never-before-heard stories about: • The creation of her iconic USA Up All Night character • Working with Gilbert Gottfried, Mel Brooks, Bob Hope, Joan Rivers, George Burns and more • Why Hollywood tried to put her in a box… and why she refused • The truth about the Playboy Mansion and Hugh Hefner • Her unforgettable role in Spaceballs • How a second chance with her teenage sweetheart led to a 25-year marriage and business partnership • The incredible success of the Ahh Bra and building one of television’s biggest direct-to-consumer brands • Launching the new Up All Night Network on Roku • The B-movies she actually starred in… and the ones we completely made up! Plus… Rhonda helps us judge a round of “B-Movie or BS?”, we pitch ridiculous TV show ideas to her new network, and somehow end up discussing everything from The Villages to monster movies.
