In 1995, Carmen Electra started appearing in television programs. In May 1996 Carmen Electra was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including Baywatch (cast member from 1997–1998, as Leilani "Lani" McKenzie) and MTV's Singled Out. Carmen Electra returned to Baywatch for the 2003 reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.
