In 2020, PokerGO relaunched High Stakes Poker and paired Kaplan and Benza in the commentary booth for the first time since Season 5. Benza also had an acting role as L.C. Luco in the 2006 film Rocky Balboa. Benza appeared on the sixth season of Celebrity Fit Club on VH1, where he lost 12 lbs. In 2008, Benza appeared in Gimme My Reality Show, a reality competition series on Fox Reality that followed a group of D-list celebrities with previous reality credentials as they battle for their chance to shine with their own show. But, midway through the show, he walked away from production. He cited not wanting to have his young children subjected to cameras inside their home. In 2015, Benza's second book, 74 and Sunny—a memoir about his childhood on Long Island—was published by Simon & Schuster. George Gallo is attached to direct the picture, with Benza credited as screenwriter. The following year Benza turned his energies to film and executive produced So B. It, a film based on the award-winning YA book by Sarah Weeks. The movie premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival in the summer. That same year he struck a deal with ReelzChannel to host Demons in the City of Angels and Case Closed with A.J. Benza. In 2020, Benza guest starred in the Amazon Prime series "Gravesend". Benza writes columns for Star Magazine and RadarOnline. His daily podcast, Fame Is A Bitch—a mix of Hollywood gossip and personal stories, airs on PodcastOne. He is currently married and living in Los Angeles, CA, with his wife and two kids, Roxy and Rocco. Controversy Harvey Weinstein allegations In 2003, Benza became aware of Harvey Weinstein's affair with Georgina Chapman while he was married to his first wife. Upon discovering this information, Benza offered to provide Weinstein with gossip that would draw attention away from his affair. This was the beginning of a partnership between the two to preserve Weinstein's name. When sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein began reaching the press in 2017, Weinstein reached out to Benza asking for his help. He discussed paying Benza "up to $20,000 a month" to investigate the claims made against him. Weinstein did not follow up on this offer.
