THE BIGGER PICTURE with Timothy Spangler show

Summary: IRIS ALMARIO, starring in TV Land's "Nobodies," is our featured guest this Sunday night! IRIS is known as an accomplished and prolific actress, social media influencer and model, currently starring on the new hit TV Land series "Nobodies" with Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcon. She has recently guest starred on CW's popular Series: "Jane the Virgin" as Soledad Goldberg, CBS' "Code Black" as Detective Carmody, CBS' "NCIS" as Natalie Tupperman, ABC's "Switched at Birth" as Felicia, FX' Series: "American Crime Story," CW's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and many more. She is also recognized for her memorable recurring roles "The Young and the Restless" as Jessica Sinclair and "General Hospital" as Adela. And many fans still remember her as Terry on HBO's "Sex and the City" from the Atlantic City episode. IRIS is also recognized as Miss Latina USA and Queen of the popular National Puerto Rican Day in NYC which happens annually in June. Also dropping by the show Sunday night is RHONDA SHEAR, actress, comedian and entrepreneur. RHONDA's big break came in 1991 when she became the sultry-smart hostess of late-night movie show "USA: Up All Night," a gig that lasted until 1999, made her nationally famous, and delighted foot fetishists from coast to coast. After "Up All Night" ended, Rhonda pursued her love of comedy and quickly became a headliner in Las Vegas and at top comedy clubs like The Laugh Factory and the Improv. Her latest chapter began when she appeared on the Home Shopping Network to sell women's intimates. Her appearance was a sensation, and she started a company, Shear Enterprises, LLC, to design, manufacture and sell RHONDA's own line of women's intimate wear. Today, that company has grown to more than $100 million in annual sales, and RHONDA has won numerous entrepreneurship awards-though she still refers to herself as a "bimbopreneur." Her new book, UP ALL NIGHT, is available at all good bookstores!
