First hour: Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen remember comedienne Patti Deutsch and actor and longtime Elvis Presley associate Red West as part of This Week in TV History, while Greg Ehrbar reviews the recent DVD release of Ned and Stacey, the short-lived FOX sitcom that introduced Debra Messing to TV audiences. Also in this hour: A replay of our Sounds of Lost Television segment on Playboy’s Playhouse, an early television effort by Hugh Hefner that essentially served as a precursor to Playboy After Dark. Second hour: Ed welcomes actress, comedienne and entrepreneur Rhonda Shear, host of USA’s Up All Night and author of Up All Night: From Hollywood Bombshell to Lingerie Model: Life Lessons from an Accidental Feminist. Rhonda’s book not only has great stories about her life and career in the pageant, entertainment and garment industries, but shares many lessons that she learned along the way that you can apply, whether you’re female or male, and whatever career path you happen to take.
