Jenny McCarthy

She’s funny, she’s gorgeous, and millions have seen her naked as a Playboy Centerfold. You figure out why she’s a celebrity.

Once describing herself as the funny girl next door and not a sex symbol, Jenny McCarthy has captured the hearts of millions because of her various televised antics. Many say that the reason they’re attracted to her is her ability to look great in (or out) of a bikini one second and do a pratfall the next. Magazines like Playboy, Rolling Stone, and even TV Guide have featured her in pictorials that range from the seductive to the silly.

The television execs haven’t missed out on this combination either. Jenny has been a gameshow host on MTV’s Singled Out, a sketch comedian on MTV’s The Jenny McCarthy Show, and a sitcom star on NBC’s cancelled Jenny.

Still, Jenny, who appeared in the broad comedy BASEketball, hasn’t been entirely forgotten by TV. In the fall of ‘99, FOX signed her to a development deal and hopes to air a new show with her at some time.

Then there’s the Internet. Jenny’s right up there with Pamela Anderson Lee when it comes to the number of fan shrines that are out there. Yep, in the old days a guy would just have a Jenny McCarthy poster on his wall, but these days you toss up a web page.
