The Jenny McCarthy Show is an American pop culture-based talk show on VH1. The series is hosted by Jenny McCarthy and premiered on February 8, 2013.[1][2][3] VH1 has added an additional seven episodes to the series' original eight-episode first season.[4] Due to McCarthy joining The View,[5] The Jenny McCarthy Show will not be returning.

Format

Filmed in New York City, The Jenny McCarthy Show features different celebrity guests along with trivia, games and discussion about recent pop culture news. Originally, Michelle Buteau from VH1's Best Week Ever delivered pop culture news via Skype but she has since essentially joined as a co-host and appears with guests in the studio. From the start, there was to be a different guest DJ and bartender but that plan has also seemingly fallen through.[1][6][7][8]
