It seems lately that Jenny Slate, the short-lived SNL star from the 2009/2010 season, has been popping up all over our TV screen. So we thought we'd take a look back at some of our favorite Jenny Slate TV appearances (plus one viral viral video sensation)! Check it out:
We first saw Jenny Slate on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon's recurring series 7th Floor West, a spot-on parody of The Hills. Jenny played Jenny, an NBC page who Jimmy finds attractive and eventually hires to be his assistant:
That bit must have caught the eye of Lorne Michaels (who is the executive producer of both SNL and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) because shortly after that Jenny was cast on Saturday Night Live. Though she only lasted one year, we were always big fans of her work on the show, especially her recurring character of Tina Tina Chanuse:
After leaving SNL, Jenny created the adorable viral video sensation "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On". Jenny co-wrote the film and voices the titular character of Marcel, a tiny shell wearing shoes. The video was so successful (it has over 20 million views on YouTube) that it later spawned a sequel video and even a hardcover book. Check out the original "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" and the sequel below:
