Marianne Curan (born May 12, 1961) is an American actress, television personality and comedian. She most recently hosted GSN Radio with husband Bob Goen.
In the mid-1990s, she hosted some of the first live interactive game shows on Game Show Network, including Super Decades, Trivia Track, Prime Games and When Did That Happen?. Curan was a guest host on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and, when Kathie Lee Gifford left the program in 2000 Curan was considered for the permanent co-host role that Kelly Ripa ultimately claimed. Later in its run, she hosted PAX TV's live daytime talk show Great Day America with Food Network personality Marc Summers. In 2002, Curan hosted Landscapers' Challenge for Home & Garden Television. She hosted interstitial segments with Jordan Murphy for USA Network's Before & After'noon Movies in 2003.
Curan is also an accomplished celebrity impersonator. Her imitations of political figures Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin gained her recurring roles in sketches on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the late 2000s. Her most prominent imitation is that of Martha Stewart, garnering her roles on The Tonight Show, as well as the 2006 film National Lampoon's Totally Baked: A Potumentary and Frank Caliendo's sketch comedy program Frank TV.
