Marissa Jaret Winokur is the host of Oxygen's dance/weight loss competition series "Dance Your Ass Off."
Winokur danced her way into the hearts of America on season 6 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," making it all the way to the finals. She teamed with Tony Dovolani, who returned for his fifth season. Tony was previously paired with Jane Seymour.
Winokur finished filming the series lead in a new pilot entitled "Fugly," for 20th Century Fox and CBS, and is one of the leads in the Lifetime movie "Betrayals."
Winokur is best known for creating the role of Tracy Turnblad in the hit Broadway musical "Hairspray," a performance for which she won a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actress. When "Hairspray" reached the end of its Broadway run in January 2009, Winokur returned to close the show, reviving her role as the zaftig lead.

A native of New York, Winokur started her career on the stage, appearing as Jan in the Broadway production of "Grease." After moving to Los Angeles, Winokur quickly landed roles in the features "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" and "Never Been Kissed." These were followed by her memorable roles in "Scary Movie" and "American Beauty," where she immortalized the phrase "You are so busted." In television, she starred alongside Fran Drescher and Mark Consuelos in ABC Family's romantic comedy "Beautiful Girl," which she also executive produced. Winokur has recurred on "Dharma and Greg" and "Moesha," and her guest-starring roles include "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Jack and Bobby," "Just Shoot Me," "Felicity" and "Get Real."
