Feb. 15 2012, Published 5:35 a.m. ET
Most people remember Jenny McCarthy as the ball-of-energy sidekick on MTV's Singled Out in the mid-'90s and she followed that up with her own sketch-comedy show in 1997.
But now the time has finally come to put Jenny back in the spotlight. VH1 has picked up a talk show with the funny lady to air this summer.

“Our viewers connect with smart, funny, and outspoken women, and Jenny certainly represents all of those elements wrapped up in a style that makes people smile,” Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming and production, said in a statement.
The comedienne-actress will also welcome guests to the show in the same way that The Chelsea Handler Show does, and if Jenny is lucky enough to have Chelsea Handler's success, she will be in a great place.
