On this day, January 7, 1989, USA Up All Night premiered on the USA Network. This late-night sketch comedy show became a cult favorite for its mix of campy humor, movie marathons, and quirky hosts. Running for an impressive 10 seasons with around 900 episodes, USA Up All Night defined late-night programming for many viewers in the late 80s and 90s.

The show, originally hosted by comedian Gilbert Gottfried and actress Rhonda Shear, featured introductions and commentary for a mix of B-movies, cult classics, and offbeat flicks. The comedic sketches and off-the-wall humor between movie segments made it stand out, creating a unique late-night experience.

Fun Fact: The series was famous for introducing a generation of viewers to quirky, low-budget movies, many of which gained cult status due to their USA Up All Night exposure.
