Episode 29: Jenny McCarthy
Growing up, Jenny McCarthy was often outshone in the classroom and on the athletic field by her three sisters. By the time she was 23, however, she was one of the most recognizable faces in America.
On the heels of a Playboy layout that led to her being named Playmate of the Year in 1994, McCarthy shot to stardom on MTV's dating game show Singled Out. But what goes up inevitably crashes, as chronicled in this wild-ride episode Jenny McCarthy: The E! True Hollywood Story.
McCarthy's glee at manhandling Singled Out contestants and her willingness to go over the top for a laugh only made fans love her more. Soon, her face was on magazine covers everywhere--one publication even had a weekly ""Jenny Hot Meter"" to track her fame. That's not bad for a former deli waitress from the south side of Chicago.
Her dizzying rise continued with a starring role in the NBC sitcom Jenny, but it lasted only a handful of episodes, and soon her name was being followed with phrases like ""flavor of the month""
