Jenny Slate is an American actress, comedian, and author best known for her series of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On children's books and short films. She is also known for her time as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2009–2010 and her recurring role as Stella on the HBO comedy series Bored to Death.

Alongside comedian Gabe Liedman, Slate is half of the comedy duo Gabe & Jenny. Their show with Max Silvestri, Big Terrific, was named best new variety show of 2008 by Time Out New York. She met Liedman in 2000 while attending Columbia University. They describe their relationship as a "nonsexual romance", and Slate says "I like to think of us as kind of like Elaine Benes and George Costanza, but we like each other." Throughout 2008 and 2009, Slate regularly performed her one-woman show, Jenny Slate: Dead Millionaire, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (UCBT) in New York City. In August 2010, Slate co-wrote and voiced the stop-motion short film "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On", directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp, about a shy, shoe-wearing shell, which garnered unexpected viral success. This led to a follow-up, "Marcel the Shell with Shoes on, Two," video released on November 14, 2011.

Slate joined the cast of Saturday Night Live for one season in 2009–2010. In her first episode, she accidentally said "fucking" during her debut sketch "Biker Chick Chat," which was heard on the live broadcast, but removed from subsequent reruns. On SNL, she impersonated celebrities such as Olympia Snowe, Lady Gaga, Ashley Olsen (alongside Nasim Pedrad as Mary-Kate Olsen), and Kristen Stewart. Her best known recurring character was Tina-Tina Chaneuse, an infomercial pitchwoman of unspecified Latino heritage who advertises personalized doorbells, car horns and alarm clocks. Despite having a recurring character, her contract was not renewed for another season and she left the show.
