Famous for Acting
Rhonda Shear is an American television personality, comedienne, and actress. Shear is best known for her role as a host of the USA Network's 1980s/'90s weekend B-movie show, USA Up All Night. From 1991 to 1998 (400 episodes) she hosted in-studio and on-location segments that aired on Friday (and later moved to Saturday) nights, replacing comedian Caroline Schlitt (the Friday night host for the show's first few years). Her trademark manner of speaking the show's title - by raising her voice an octave when saying the word "Up"...became a catch phrase. Shear also briefly hosted a comedy program called "Spotlight Cafe," hosted previously by comic Judy Tenuta.

In June 1991, Shear posed in Playboy magazine's Funny Girls pictorial. In October 1993 she appeared in her own Playboy pictorial titled "Rhonda Up All Night". Rhonda also co-starred in numerous sitcoms from playing the Fonzs’ girlfriend on Happy Days to the sexy neighbor on Married with Children, before making her mark as a comedian. It was a natural transition when she made her way into standup comedy, headlining as a successful comedienne in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York, and eventually touring across the country with her popular “Comedy PJ Party,” an on-stage slumber party with a number of comedic talents.
