Welcome to Young Hollywood.com.
Hey Young Hollywood, it's Michelle Haman.
I'm here with Jenny McCarthy and Jenny, I'm so excited to talk to you tonight because I am a huge tech girl.
I'm a huge Wii fan.
Are you?
I am and I can't wait to work out with you on screen.
I know, me too.
I can't wait to bust your chops, be your trainer.
I was so excited when they they came to me Ubisoft and said, you know, we have a new Wii game that we want to show you with the latest technology where you actually have a camera inside the game that you put on your TV and it projects your image onto the screen.
So you get to see yourself while you're working out.
And you're next to me working out, which I'm also, you know, it has a body scan so it can it can monitor your movements.
And I'm able to say, "Hey, move your arms, you're not, you know."
It is your real voice.
Close to it.
Do it.
I love that this seemed a little more adult.
I saw there are 400 exercises.
Over 400 different exercises.
You don't need a controller, which I think is brilliant.
One of the articles I saw that I was really excited about was the Wall Street Journal saying, finally, video games, women getting on board because it's one of the things that women are not tied to.
You don't think of women in technology and gaming.
But, you know, here you are, the face of a woman game.
Well, you know, most techies are guy nerds.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah.
But it's true.
Yeah.
So, you know, the way to appeal to a woman is how to incorporate a little bit of a kind of what I call takeaway TV.
What can they take away that's useful?
Because they're not just going to go brain dead in front of a television set.
Yeah.
So this way, being fitness, they're going to get something out of it, which makes them even more, you know, interested to be involved.
So, are there any other games that you like to play with Evan or Jim that are on the Wii?
Oh God, so many.
Evan is a champion bowler.
Is he?
Yeah.
What's my, It's so much fun.
fun.
You know, my mom has Wii bowling league competitions.
No.
So yeah, they have their club
In the Midwest, in the Midwest.
I love it.
Yeah.
Cuz the Midwest, they're big bowlers.
They're big big.
Something else to do when it's freezing outside.
Before there were computers and before we had stimulating cameras that were scanning our bodies, what did you love to do?
You know, what we did back in the Midwest was we played sports.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We really did.
We had gymnastics for for 45 minutes almost every day.
We had recess every day.
But then also, I was in cheerleading, field hockey, basketball, baseball.
You know, you name it, I played sports.
What do you get Jim Carrey for Christmas?
You know, I Twittered on my Twitter.
Yeah.
Please help me figure out what to get Jim for Christmas.
And I got the most amazing responses, but I'm going to get him a beard comb, I think.
Yeah.
And I love it.
I love it, right?
And you know, does he have any scratches, I don't know.
No, no, no, no.
He he conditions it.
So seriously.
He condition a beard?
That is so cute.
I suppose, you know, right?
You got Terry.
Might as well.
We can just hear that, well, it's good to know he does good grooming.
He does.
He's like a monkey.
Yeah.
How do you love working with women that you've met across the world and being able to interact with them on Oprah, on Skype, on Webisodes?
Well, one of my favorite things I've done in my career has been always a champion for women.
Even on Singled Out, back in MTV days.
Right.
I would make fun of the guys and I would root for the girls.
And I continue to do so even after Evan brought me to the world of autism and crusading that, and champion behind these moms that are so brave.
And so continue to do so.
Like I always wanted to be on the girl's side.
Hey guys, it's Jenny McCarthy.

Woohoo.
Am I still young?
I don't know.
