Jenny McCarthy

Jenny McCarthy is an actress and model from Chicago. She first became famous as Playboy magazine's Miss October 1993 and Playmate of the Year for 1994. Her TV credits include Singled Out on MTV, her own sitcom on NBC, and a year as co-host of ABC's talk show The View. She also makes annual appearances as a co-host fon Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' New Years Eve, where she is physically in the crowd in Times Square.

Among people who do not watch daytime TV, Ms. McCarthy is best-known for promoting the belief that vaccines cause autism (a belief which is unsupported by medical consensus).
