I remember an interview with Jenny McCarthy saying the men were always disgusting and rude before the cameras were on and that’s why she kicked their asses once they were filming. 😂

[@reginaj6038]

I member that too

[@visforvanessa9505]

Came here to say just this!

[@feliciahoyos]

I remember her saying that. They treated her horribly on that show.

[@jmcb00]

When she ended up leaving for her own show they definitely leaned into the sex aspect of singled out with Carmen Electra, which whatever but I don’t think they liked that Jenny would troll the men in the audience sometimes even though Jenny was the reason most people watched. At the time she appealed to both men and women. She was beautiful, but she liked fart jokes lol she had a broader range of personality in my opinion.

[@lastlyfurst643]

This brings back memories. A couple of my friends and I were on this show as members of the female “dating pool”. The final 3 contestants are pre selected, and the dating pool were basically what amounts to unpaid extras. We did receive a decent meal and a “parting gift” bag, including a Victoria’s Secret Gift certificate, some toiletries, and a t-shirt with the show logo. All in exchange for standing on a stage screaming your voice out on que, over and over for a few hours. It was pretty funny to watch the hosts basically clowning all the fools within reach. And, yes, all the creepy and awkward behavior by the daters was encouraged by the ADs/crew to be hype and wild, because I guess that was the Mtv brand back in the day. Point a bunch of cameras at a group of screaming teenagers to create staged “excitement”. 😂 it’s a cringe fest, but it was kinda fun at the time, I guess. 😅

[@app1escruff]

So I know that girl’s bad chicken impression is what kicked off Jenny’s “cHiCkEn LaDy” thing, but I’m almost POSITIVE that Jenny’s referencing a character Mark McKinney used to do on Kids in the Hall… Which just makes me think I’ve been underestimating Jenny McCarthy, because imo KITH is one of the most brilliant comedy shows of all time and I wouldn’t have expected her to dig it. And her impression of the Chicken Lady character is kinda REALLY good, which makes me think she’s practiced it before.

[@punchdrunkassassin]

YES! We love a good KITH reference!! I'm always so happy to see them in the wild. I almost guarantee that was a KITH Chicken Lady impersonation and I'm here for it. Didn't Jenny McCarthy used to date (or was married to?) Jim Carrey? So she's at least somewhat acquainted with Canadian comedy 😅

[@kitter381]

Same! Which reminded me that she and Melissa McCarthy are cousins. It would be interesting to know what her career would have been if she hadn't been reduced to the hot chick with a dirty mouth who was on the toilet in Candies ads.

[@beejereeno2]

Chicken Lady was one of the absolute worst parts of KITH. Hundreds of better sketches than that one.

[@alitsa]

One of my friends was casted to an MTV reality show in the 90s. It was one where MTV turns you into a music star. He was the only actual musician, and not a high schooler like the show wanted you to believe. He was close to 30. Anyway, he said it was really horrible because MTV didn't want the girl's real life best friend to be in the episode because she was disabled. Oh the 90s.

[@Cristina-Ortiz]

Omg they didn't want her on the show because she was disabled?? WTF 😳 Times were different, and not in a good way! Now I'm curious about who your musician friend was. I used to watch the show but I can only remember the guys they turned into Red Hot Chili Peppers and the girl who became Pink.

[@samanthanorton4538]

They filmed an episode of Made one year at my high school. It was awkward having cameras around all the time for months, and most of the people who volunteered to give interviews didn't even know the girl doing the episode. It really opened my eyes to how produced and fake those shows were

[@Jenninka]

@@samanthanorton4538 they did some kind of early filming with a girl in my high school but never went ahead with making an episode about her.

[@meggethann]

Thanks for taking me down memory lane to one of my favorite vacation stories of all time. When I was 12, our family went to Panama City Beach, Florida for spring break. My parents booked our hotel through an agent and the agent never mentioned that the hotel she was booking for a family of six (bro-13, me-12, bro-10 and sis-8) was next to MTV’s headquarters for their Spring Break special and was almost completely booked with drunk college age kids going to MTV’s spring break extravaganza. Soooo…imagine my parents delight upon arriving that the hotel was not so family friendly, the beach outside was covered with college age drunk kids basically naked trying to get on tv, and camera crews strolling around everywhere…and you guessed it…an episode of Singled Out was being filmed while we lounged on the beach…the highlight of the dating show being a wet t-shirt contest. Needless to say…we lasted a few days before my parents could find another hotel far far away. I just remember my Mom trying to desperately explain why we couldn’t go on the beach or outside because what would people think of her with her children out there in all that and my Dad yelling on the phone to the agent about how she needed to fix this because of course she should have known that MTV was using this hotel for their spring break. Still one of the funniest memories I have from a family vacation. 😹😹😹

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

My uncle used to live in Panama City, so we'd go down to visit every spring break until I was 12 or 13. MTV started doing their spring break special there the last couple years we went and it was CRAZY!! We would end up going to Mexico Beach instead cuz Panama City Beach was way too crowded and obnoxious, so I can't even imagine being stuck in one of those hotels!

[@lillyfox2537]

[@Ruby_Ramone]

What a great story! I was also 12 at the time and will never forget watching Springer Break when I was somehow alone at home all week. It was the raunchiest stuff I’d ever seen before on TV. What a nightmare that must have been for your parents to be in the midst of it with you and your siblings! 🙈

[@tiredmommy1643]

I'm an 80s baby so I remember this show like it was yesterday, I also remember the host guest-starred on an episode of married with children and even made fun of the show Singled Out, that he used to host. It's the episode where Kelly and her friends take Bud and his friends tickets to Florida to go on spring break. Kelly gets picked to be in a beauty show and that is the dude that interviews her. But the funny thing is, Kelly's character even states in the show, "who are you ,are you like famous or something"🤣🤣🤣

I think Jenny was trying to make a reference to the Chicken Lady from the show Kids in the Hall (which I think you'd really like, actually! There's a segment where Dave Foley - the ant from A Bug's Life - has a tone of voice that always sounds sar castic even when he's being sincere... And another where Kevin McCarthy - Pleakley from Lilo & Stitch - has a To-Do List of 7 Things and he's desperately trying to stay on top of his life/chores but becomes a hostage in a robbery situation... I could go on and on!). Anyway, Chicken Lady is a half lady half chicken character from that show. Who, uh, is actually one of my least favorite characters but only 'cause her voice kinda hurts my ears. MOST IMPORTANTLY: Thank you SO MUCH for keeping my husband and me entertained throughout 2022 (one of the worst years of either of our lives). We're immensely grateful and hope you take plenty of time to relax before coming back with what we know will be awesome content in 2023. I'm sorry I never comment, but I watch every episode and I'm always grateful. And I was SO excited you reviewed Taking 5 this year! I pre-ordered that movie when it came out because I was such a huge fan of The Click Five lol but it always felt like I was the only one who'd even heard of that film. Take care and happy 2023!

OMG I’m begging you to watch episodes from an MTV show called The Ex Effect. THIS SHOW WAS WILD!!! It was one of the most drama-filled juicy shows ever! They brought couples to a ‘resort’ but the catch is their exes are there at the resort too but nobody knows and the producer put the couples who USED to date in a room and the current couples in another and they are watching them in secret to see if they will cheat. At the end of every episode they get to decide if they want to stay as a couple or dump them and get back with their ex.

[@nicolemontalvo4560]

This is a classic for me! I had a realization several months ago while watching "The Ultimatum" that the only dating shows I enjoy are ones where relationships are tested (ripped apart), and I think it all traces back to Ex Effect. That being said, my next show is "Love for the Ages" where married couples separate & date younger people & then decide if they want to stay together.

Few months later he dumped me for some other girl out of nowhere and watching Singled Out would remind me of him. Oh, to be 12 again!

@@angelasands1643 I was around 11-12 when this 1st aired, and while I was no expert on men or adult relationships at that age, (despite thinking I was, just because I had a "boyfriend " a grade above me) I never once believed back then that this show was realistic, or that anyone acted like this in real life, everything was so overly dramatic, ridiculous and shallow. Plus you can tell nobody is really being themselves. The show made everyone look foolish, including the hosts. Don't really see how anyone could exhibit any "red flags " since everything was so over the top and phony. It seemed far from how normal people would act in real life. However I was guilty of letting an MTV show influence me negatively at age 11, was MTV'S The Grind and The beach house. All those fit,attractive women dancing in tiny bikinis had me working out till 4am on my brothers Norditrack while everyone slept, and eating nothing but slimfast bars. Despite me being a perfectly normal weight, I thought I needed tight washboard abs to be attractive at 11. Finally stopped when i stopped getting my period for 4 months, was always weak and got scared and told my mom so yeah I definitely don't think MTV was the greatest thing for those of us who were impressionable preteens at the time.

11:42 she's referencing the chicken lady, a recurring character by Mark McKinney (SNL) on the 1988-95 Canadian sketch comedy show "The Kids In The Hall". In the US, we had it on HBO and then Comedy Central. Now it's on Pluto and Amazon Prime. It's a phenomenal show, if u haven't seen it, you should. BTW, there's no way Jenny McCarthy isn't on drugs here. She seems to be taking a bump every commercial break.

My favorite line is "in other words, Travis is unemployed"

[@laurenherda2415]

So much nostalgia! I even remember an episode of Boy Meets World when Eric goes on this show, it was amazing

[@kaylarealtalk_safespace5127]

I live for the "member that" episodes. Thank you for this, and Happy New Year 💖

[@aprillundberg1197]

How could you forget Singled Out?! 😂😂 I was obsessed!

[@cestlaguy]

Omg, please do more on this show 😂

[@andytaylor6267]

What the hell was going on with this show, woah lol what a gem! Thanks for bringing this back to our cultural conciousness

[@Gaby-nx8ln]

Seeing shows like these from the 90's makes me think they took place on another planet tbh.

[@haleymist09]

Omg I request ANYTHING from this same MTV era but the Spring Bream version! I thought all college kids went to FL for spring break and I wanted to be on a show or dance. THE DANCING. I haven't thought of that in a loooooooong time.

[@imjuliewaters]

I remember watching Singled Out and I remember Jenny McCarthy being on it, but I had completely forgotten about Chris Hardwick being the host. 🤣 I always laughed way too much watching it.

[@FlagCutie]

I have a vague recollection of singled out. I always remember Chris was also a host because I used to listen to his podcast and whenever he had his best friends on and it came up, they would always tease him about it lol

[@TheQueenOfSheba]

Ugh I remember this show. I was never that interested in it… but yeah… MTV had the weirdest dating shows back then 🙃

[@EK-dt4cp]

Please tell me someone out there remembers the dating show “Bzzz!” (that is spelled correctly, “bzzz” not “buzz”). It had a very similar aesthetic to this show.. mystery “bachelor/ettes” would stand behind the screen of a huge pink heart, and all you saw was their silhouette while they answered questions for the person “looking for ❤love❤”. They even had a blonde host with a bob haircut. I think they showed it on tnt or tbs during the daytime in the 90’s. And there are episodes available to watch on KZbin. I just can’t find anyone in my life who remembers it…they only remember singled out! (Overly long comment, but I gotta know that I’m not the only one!)

[@heatherdean323]

I 'member that show!

[@jenniferyoung8977]

Okay so I am having total flashbacks now of that scene but cannot remember anything else! I hope she does that show too so I can ‘member that better!

[@TheSweetielauren]

You're not the only one!! I also really liked Elimidate but that came later.

[@TessaNabby]

OMG I legit forgot all about that show! You literally just dragged it out of the dark, long forgotten recesses of my memory 🤣🤣🤣 My sister and I used to LOVE that show! I totally gotta look it up now! Thanks 👍

[@ginar1764]

Daaaaannngggg that's a deep cut right there. I do remember that show. I'm pretty sure I was in 7th grade when I watched it.

[@rebnae]

GOD DANG this is a throwback. I would watch this despite being WAY TOO YOUNG (I was like...10), and genuinely thought this was what normal dating looked like and definitely thought I had ALL THIS TO LOOK FORWARD TO. Yikes. Also, I NEED to know where these people are now.

[@JoshSlogo-On.-Telegrxm]

👆👆Hurry 🎉🎊 you just won yourself something from me Send a message above for your prize.😊😊😊

[@mallorycannon3011]

Omg I was so obsessed with Jenny McCarthy and this show when I was a kid I tried to dress like her.😂😂😂

[@kawaiitrash3604]

You unlocked a memory for me. I forgot this show even existed.

[@stevenousleyII]

You are literally the funniest person that I've ever stumbled upon in my almost 32 years on this planet, I don't know what I would do without your content honestly! And you just always manage to cheer me up and somehow your content helps me get through my very severe panic attacks that have been suffering from as of late, and I just cannot thank you enough! You really are a lifesaver, you're funnier than you give yourself credit for, and way more beautiful too! Love you, mean it XX Steven

[@reekahstinks]

I'm so sorry about your panic attacks. They are so terrible. 💜 Jaime is such a good time with her awesome sense of humor and creativity.

[@zye....]

I like her too, she reminds me of Jontron. They should collab, they're both judging films don't they?

[@sunshinegarden21]

I'm 32 too. :)

[@njnoiser7079]

Back when shows had to be so high energy, wacky and everyone wanted to be on TV, no matter what you had to do to be there. It's like a nickelodeon show had a baby with the dating version of Guess Who

[@gloriav7646]

I needed this laugh so much!!! Please do this same show again!!!!

[@amandamcnickle4371]

I never heard of this show at all until now but it does not surprise me given the amount of cringe that came from MTV back then

[@jenniferlyons4150]

Oh that's why they're single! Chris got some great practice before hosting the Bachelor!!!

[@lacey_heather]

You're thinking of Chris Harrison, but Googling recent pictures of them both, they actually don't look that dissimilar!

[@rake4396]

Thanks for unlocking this memory 🤣 I forgot how obsessed me n my older sister were with this show

[@pearsrtasty3326]

OMG, talk about old times. Once you showed the logo, I was like, HOLY HELL, I use to watch that religiously! Losing my memory. 44 does it to ya :) Thanks for the vid!

[@JadyLester]

Haha I fully expected you to single out "Singled Out"

[@TheRepurposedSouth]

Wow. Talk about a flashback to my tween/teen years. I now need to rewatch all episodes of this show. 😂😂😂

[@notyourorphan]

So Weird, Animorphs, The Secret World of Alex Mack, Figure it Out, S Club 7, What Would You Do?, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Are You Afraid of the Dark, My So-Called Life, The Swan (awful), Cousin Skeeter... just some forgotten things coming to mind.

[@aprili.3802]

Fun fact: Brittany (the dumb cheerleader) from Daria’s look was based on 90s Jenny McCarthy. Also Chris Hardwick, what a gem. Still see him everywhere. He also married a Hearst so he is doing just fine.

[@nospoonfulofmayonnaiseforme]

Jamie's makeup is just 💞

[@verucasalt4535]

Lol i remember watching parental control in the early 2000s and man... it was... something. my favorite was the episode where the mom hated the current girlfriend because she was always all over her son- or something. She and her son went on the dating show and she picked a good girl --before finding out she was a pole dancer. She was even worse than the previous girlfriend (in the mom's eyes)! The son was ecstatic and the mom was.... stunned. I'm probably not remembering it correctly but it was hilarious!! PLEASE someone find it and let me know the episode number.

[@goodbher9244]

I'm convinced all those shows were scripted, so many of those shows were just unbelievable.

[@verucasalt4535]

@@goodbher9244 yeah, still funny, the woman's reaction was priceless, i remember. 😂

[@bethbarr682]

I used to watch this show all the time. I was talking to my husband about it and I couldn't remember the name of the show. This brought me back. I needed this. Thanks so much.

[@dreamstreetrose318]

Jaime, I've been housecleaning like a madwoman for the last two days and just relistening to some of your old reviews and laughing the whole time. Thanks for making this chore so fun, lol.

[@tahlia9261]

Perfect time for me to check my notifications 🤣

[@brittney05B]

I’ve been rewatching all of your content! It’s such a nice break from the daily craziness. Thanks for all you do ❤️

[@melodymcgowin]

Keep doing singled out episodes - please! I haven't laughed this hard in a while, and I laugh at all your vids!♡♡ happy new year Jamie! PS Thank you for not spelling your name Jaime.

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Thanks Jamie and Happy New Year

[@courtney_chavez95]

I wish i was born 10 years earlier maybe even 5. When I was a teen i was watching room raiders, NEXT, The X Effect, and Parental Control. The music Videos that played all night until 7am. Lol I feel like that was the end of the good MTV days😅 btw Hope you have a Happy New Year! Love your channel💜

[@nospoonfulofmayonnaiseforme]

I'm too young for all of these shows so it's so interesting to hear millennials explain them

[@lillyfox2537]

Xennials 😊

[@jessyjulie5506]

These were definitely gen x, dont blame us

[@gabrialjackson5878]

So happy for your success. You are such a wonderful part of my day. Your so lovable

[@mamasgun21]

I laughed at the chicken lady, but when I walked into my girls’ coop to check on them tonight, they actually totally sound just like her. So she gets a pass. I guess when chickens are sleepy, they do sound like that 😂

[@tamahoshio]

Oh god i remember this 🤣 every episode was so dumb and wild i love this era of weird ass dating shows

[@marleynaaugusteina6809]

I never forgot about this show! Lmao

[@bostonreese4807]

Happy New Year Jaime and company. And damn, our childhood was … insane!

[@enchantriss4213]

I am stoked you covered this! I could not for the life of me remember the name of this show 😂 I wanted to browse and see if I could find it. I went down a rabbit hole watching VHS dating videos that were submitted back in the 80’s/90’s.

[@gmanandhislady]

I was just binge watching your member that? of Made when this notification popped up! These MTV shows are interesting. I'm your age, but I don't remember them. But I didn't really watch MTV after TRL during my boy band stage.

[@MsEJMcLaren]

I love 'membering this with you Jaime! I used to watch this show all the time as a young teenager. Jenny was truly the best part of the show.

[@brothernorb8586]

I never forgot this one and I was hoping it was the one you were talking about. Yay I'm so excited!!

[@katielynn3494]

😂 this was a great video to end 2022 thank you ! Happy New Years Jaime and fam 🎉can’t wait to see your first video of the news years :) love them so much huge fan always have been !
