Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg is an actress, comedian, host, best-selling author, spokeswoman, and entrepreneur. She is a judge on the FOX smash hit, “The Masked Singer,” which will premiere Season 12 this fall. She has starred in numerous films and television shows, in addition to hosting countless live events, specials and award shows. Despite experiencing both health and personal challenges, Jenny makes an effort to remain positive in every situation, a skill she developed while dealing with bullying in school. Born in Chicago, Jenny initially found success modeling but quickly transitioned to acting. Her early film and television appearances included hosting the game show “Singled Out,” scripted television roles, and an appearance on WrestleMania. After appearing in the comedy film “BASEketball,” Jenny continued taking roles in movies and tv. She co-hosted the successful talk show “The View” for one season and was featured as a correspondent on "Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve" for ten consecutive years. Jenny is a New York Times best-selling author of nine books on topics ranging from pregnancy and motherhood to sex and growing up Catholic. He memoir “Bad Habits: Confessions of a Recovering Catholic,” has been described as relatable and insightful. Jenny is also a successful entrepreneur. In 2018, she launched Blondies, a line of gluten-free ready-to-drink cocktails. Jenny felt that there was a market for a premade cocktail line that included natural ingredients, like stevia and coconut water, without excess preservatives or food dyes. The cocktails were originally sold at Wahlburgers restaurants but have since expanded to be available across the U.S. Formless Beauty, the makeup brand that Jenny launched in 2021, has a similar origin story. Jenny has struggled with health challenges and was frustrated at being unable to find products that met her needs without irritating her skin. She envisioned Formless Beauty as a product line that would consistently create high-end, gorgeous products that are always vegan, eco-friendly, and contain simple and pure ingredients. The company’s goal is to continuously improve, innovate, and get as close to the purest of ingredients as possible in each of the products they launch. Jenny hopes “to inspire everyone to connect to their formless inner and outer beauty and love living consciously.” She and Donnie Wahlberg, her husband of 10 years, co-own a media company called Work Baby Productions. They couple have a first-look deal with Lionsgate to develop and produce traditional unscripted/reality television, documentaries, short form productions, and narrative and non-fiction podcasts.
