In 2000, she hosted the pilot of Macchemù, with Paola Barale, dedicated to television themes, and won the Oscar TV as "Personaggio televisivo femminile dell'anno".[6]
From 2000, Marcuzzi replaced Simona Ventura in the Italian version of Caiga Quien Caiga, named Le Iene, presenting it until 2005, aired by Italia 1 initially as a late-night show and then as a primetime show.[7]
In 2002 and 2003 she presented the Telegatto awards and, in 2003 too, the Galà della pubblicità, with Heidi Klum; both events were aired by Canale 5.[7] In the autumn of 2003 she hosted the charity show La fabbrica del sorriso, with Gerry Scotti, Claudio Bisio and Michelle Hunziker. In the same years she won Premio Flaiano and another Oscar TV for Le iene.
After hosting an edition of Scherzi a parte in 2005, with Diego Abatantuono and Massimo Boldi,[8] in 2006 she replaced Barbara D'Urso presenting the Italian version of Big Brother, Grande Fratello, that she finished hosting in 2015.[9]
