Putting her comedic skills to the test, McCarthy began hosting “The Jenny McCarthy Show” on VH1. It was a pop-culture talk show featuring guests such as Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Lil Jon and Bar Refaeli. McCarthy is shown here with Philippe Dauman, chief executive of Viacom Inc.

McCarthy will move on from “The View” with a live, weekly radio show called “Dirty, Sexy Funny With Jenny McCarthy.” “It’s no secret that I love to talk. I’m excited to do it on SiriusXM without having to interrupt anyone or keep things clean,” she said in a statement. (Ilya S. Savenok / Getty Images)
