Hey, remember Jenny Slate? From Saturday Night Live? Most famous for dropping an F-bomb in one of her first sketches? Unfortunately, she didn’t get to do much else during her short tenure on the show.
It’s too bad that she didn’t get much of a shot. She’s funny and charming, and I was excited to watch her on the show after seeing a bunch of the videos she made with Gabe Liedman before being added to the cast.
Well, she appears to be doing quite well post-SNL. She co-wrote the adorably hilarious (hilariously adorable?) short film “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” (and voiced Marcel), which got some ink in Entertainment Weekly.
And now she’s making more videos with Gabe Liedman! Here’s the first of their “Bestie x Bestie” series, of which there are currently three, all well worth watching.
I’ve long been of a defender of Abby Elliott, but even I must admit that if SNL only had enough space for one of them, Ms. Slate deserved the paycheck.
