Jenny McCarthy made her first appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and it was a lively and entertaining segment. McCarthy, known for her humor and bubbly personality, had the audience laughing throughout the interview.
The conversation started with McCarthy expressing her love for the ladies, and Ellen warmly welcoming her to the show. McCarthy mentioned that her schedule was hectic, making her appreciate the opportunity to be on the show even more.
Ellen congratulated McCarthy on her second best-selling book, which focuses on the first year of a baby’s life. McCarthy humorously suggested that the book makes a great gift for anyone expecting or someone who knows someone who had a baby. The book is based on McCarthy’s own experiences as a mother.
During the interview, McCarthy was holding a stand-in baby, a Hollywood prop. Ellen jokingly pointed out that the baby’s butt cheeks were facing the camera, thanks to the baby’s constant screaming during the segment.
McCarthy revealed that the baby’s crying made her turn around, so the camera could capture his cute little behind. She playfully mentioned that every mother loves baby butt cheeks. The audience roared with laughter at McCarthy’s lighthearted response to the situation.
Apart from the prop baby, McCarthy shared some pictures of herself during her pregnancy and after giving birth. She humorously stated that some people couldn’t believe her weight gain during pregnancy, especially since she ended up being over 200 pounds. McCarthy proudly showed her pictures to prove that she lost the weight, promoting body positivity and self-acceptance.
To shed the excess weight, McCarthy admitted that it took her about a year of dedication and attending Weight Watchers meetings. She emphasized that she didn’t care what people thought and walked every day with her stroller. McCarthy fondly recalled the support she received from a group of women she met at Weight Watchers, who became her friends and provided moral support on her weight loss journey.
Ellen applauded McCarthy’s perseverance, commenting on her impressive achievement of fitting back into her jeans by her son’s first birthday. Losing that amount of weight is an incredible accomplishment, proving that determination pays off.
The conversation then shifted to McCarthy’s son, who was turning three years old that week. McCarthy proudly mentioned that he started speaking at just five months old, uttering three distinct words: turtle, dog, and cow. McCarthy amusingly shared her excitement, expressing her surprise at her son’s early language development.
McCarthy playfully recalled how she couldn’t wait to tell the babysitter about her son’s impressive vocabulary at such a young age. She jokingly narrated the conversation in which she proudly exclaimed, “Turtle dog cow!” She quipped that no one would believe her unless she shared the news.
Ellen jokingly asked if McCarthy’s son was now a genius at three years old. McCarthy humorously replied that he couldn’t even use a fork yet, emphasizing that her son’s genius-level intelligence was still a work in progress.
The segment ended with Ellen congratulating McCarthy on her second best-selling book and mentioning that all audience members would receive a copy of McCarthy’s book, “Baby Laughs.”
