JENNY McCARTHY has enjoyed a varied and successful career as a film and television actress, comedienne, TV host, author, and spokesperson. She gained fame early on as Playboy’s Miss October 1993, and was subsequently named the magazine’s Playmate of the Year. Her sexy, pinup girl status eventually led to a co-hosting gig on MTV’s dating game show Singled Out. The network then hired McCarthy as a vee-jay and later allowed her to develop her own comedy/variety series, The Jenny McCarthy Show. The success of that show led to acting roles on TV series like Silk Stalkings, Baywatch, and Wings, and her own NBC sitcom, Jenny.

Around this time, McCarthy began to appear in feature films including Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead, The Stupids, BASEketball, Diamonds, and Scream 3. More television roles followed, including episodes of Home Improvement, Going to California, The Drew Carey Show, Fastlane, Charmed, Wanda at Large and All About the Andersons, as well as recurring parts on Just Shoot Me!, Less Than Perfect, Wild Card, One on One, and Hope & Faith.

More recently, McCarthy starred on UPN’s The Bad Girl’s Guide and appeared in episodes of What I Like About You and Stacked. Additional feature credits include the indie comedy The Perfect You, Scary Movie 3, and Dirty Love (which she wrote and starred in). McCarthy has hosted numerous TV specials including MTV Europe Music Awards 1998, The 29th Annual American Music Awards, MTV’s 25 Greatest Power Ballads, FX’s DVD Exclusive Awards, The Brady Bunch 35th Anniversary Reunion Special: Still Brady After All These Years, and E!’s 101 Craziest TV Moments and What Hollywood Taught Us about Sex.

On the literary front, HarperCollins published McCarthy’s autobiography, Jen-X, in 1997. Her comedic take on pregnancy and childbirth, Belly Laughs, was released in Spring 2004 and placed on The New York Times best seller list, as did the book’s follow-up, Baby Laughs, published in Spring 2005. McCarthy stars in the upcoming ABC Family telefilm Mary Christmas.
