#21 - Reno Collier & Rebecca Holden

Reno Collier has built a reputation by selling out comedy clubs and colleges nationwide. In 2004 he joined Larry The Cable Guy on the hugely successful Tour of America. Following the success of that tour, in 2005 Reno taped his own Comedy Central Presents half-hour special.

Reno’s other national tours look more like a comedian’s wish-list than a resume, including theater and arena tours with the legendary Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Ron White. From January 2007-2016, he re-joined Larry the Cable Guy for his wildly successful arena tour spanning the United States and Canada.

Reno’s past TV credits include NBC’s Late Friday, The Martin Short Show, TBS’s Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation, his own Comedy Central Special, and The Roast of Larry the Cable Guy. He also appeared in CMT’S holiday special, Larry the Cable Guy’s Hula Palooza Christmas Luau and the 2012 special Them Idiots. Reno also made appearances in the feature films Witless Protection (2008) and Jingle All the Way 2 (2014).

Through the years, Reno has headlined the Comics on Duty tour for American troops stationed in the Middle East, Africa, and all over the world. He is a weekly correspondent on the Bob & Tom and regular guest on the Big D and Bubba syndicated radio shows and Country Music Television (CMT), hosting various specials for the network. He was a cohost on the Sirius Satellite Radio show Chewing the Fat with fellow comedian Leanne Morgan for 3 years. Reno has performed at prestigious comedy festivals such as HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO, as well as Just for Laughs in Montreal where he just performed his third gala. Reno’s personable comedy makes him a hosting favorite, having hosted NBC’s summer family reality show Great American Road Trip, AXIS TV’s Gotham Live, multiple CMT specials and Animal Planet’s competition series, Top Hooker. Reno taped a comedy special for Dry Bar Comedy and hosted an episode of STAND UP NASHVILLE at Zanies Comedy Club for the Circle Network in 2020.

As a singer, actress, and entertainer, Rebecca Holden's appearances have amassed a fan club with members from around the globe.

Musically, Rebecca has performed in a diversity of styles. Classically trained as a voice major and piano minor at the University of North Texas, she has sung opera, and performed the lead roles in musical theater such as "Oliver" and "Damn Yankees". She recorded a country album for Curb records, with her music videos appearing on TNN and CMT. She also recorded both a country and gospel album for BMG Records in Switzerland and toured internationally all over Europe and the Far East, even performing for the King of Malaysia. She had the honor of being the featured performer with the United States Air Force Band at a memorial for WWII veterans, for which George Bush was the guest speaker.

First discovered by a top talent agent while continuing her voice studies in NY, she became a "Breck" girl, which led to magazine covers and countless other national commercials such as Ivory Soap, Dentyne, Kellogg's, Gillette, Arrid, Chevrolet, and ultimately a major television and film career in Los Angeles.

Television viewers all over the world are familiar with Rebecca through her stint as "April Curtis", the computer whiz, on the NBC series, Knight Rider (1982), which has appeared in syndication in most major markets throughout the U.S. and over 100 foreign countries. She attained added recognizability from her roles as the diabolical "Elena Cosgrove" on ABC's General Hospital (1963) and from countless guest-starring roles on such primetime shows as Magnum, P.I. (1980), The Love Boat (1977), Taxi (1978), Night Court (1984), The New Mike Hammer (1984), Remington Steele (1982), Matt Houston (1982), Barney Miller (1975), and many others.
