USA Up All Night is an American cable television series that aired weekly on Friday and Saturday nights on the USA Network. The show aired from 1989 to 1998. The program consisted of low-budget films, bookended by in-studio or on-location comedy skits featuring the show's hosts. In addition to skits, the hosts would also provide sardonic comments about the featured film, and observations on various Hollywood- and/or New York City-area clubs and attractions . The movies aired ranged from cult classics, to B movies, to other fare not appearing on television frequently. Up All Night would... regularly show sexploitation films, with the explicit content edited out. Actress/comedienne Caroline Schlitt originally hosted the Friday night show, while comic Gilbert Gottfried hosted the Saturday night show. When Schlitt left the program in 1990, comedienne/B-movie actress Rhonda Shear replaced her on Fridays. In 1998, USA came under the new management of Barry Diller, and decided to go for a more general and upscale type of viewer.
