Jenny Slate Accidentally Invited a Random Stranger To Her Wedding

Jenny Slate opened up about her postponed wedding during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and she revealed that she accidentally invited a random stranger to the event!

The 38-year-old actress is engaged to Ben Shattuck and they were planning on getting married at their house back in June, but the wedding has been postponed due to the pandemic.

Jenny and Ben decided to do email invites instead of paper ones, but she accidentally messed up one of the emails.

“I sent the email, and then I didn’t hear back from friend. I was like, ‘Hey, can you guys come to the wedding?’ And she was like, ‘Oh, we just thought maybe it was small and we weren’t invited. I was like, ‘No, you’re invited. Oh gosh, you know, check your spam.’ And then she was like, ‘Not in the spam.’ And when I looked back, I had messed up the name on the email by one letter,” she said.

Jenny added, “I’m not trying to assume that this lady is a fan or knows who I am, but if she does, she knows where I live and that we were going to get married at our house and blah blah blah. And then we sent a thing saying ‘Sorry, everybody! We’re not getting married.’ But I didn’t send it to her because I just felt so awkward about it.”

Jenny looked up the stranger and found that she likes to wear top hats in some of her pictures. She added, “So, on the day that we were supposed to get married, because I knew she hadn’t received the ‘sorry we’re not getting married anymore,’ I had this, like, weird fantasy she would show up.”

Jenny Slate Exits Netflix's 'Big Mouth': 'Black Characters on an Animated Show Should Be Played by Black People'

The 38-year-old actress announced that she will no longer be voicing the role of Missy on the hit Netflix series, due to the character being biracial while she herself is white, she announced Wednesday (June 24).

“At the start of the show, I reasoned with myself that it was permissible for me to play ‘Missy’ because her mom is Jewish and white — as am I. But ‘Missy’ is also Black and Black characters on an animated show should be played by Black people,” she said.

By taking the role, she said she was “engaging in an act of erasure of Black people…ending my portrayal of ‘Missy’ is one step in a life-long process of uncovering the racism in my actions.”

“We thank Jenny for her decision and for creating with us an inspiring, compassionate and very human character. We look forward to being able to explore Missy’s story with even greater authenticity to come,” the show’s creators then said in a joint statement on social media.

Jenny Slate Describes On 'Fallon' Almost Ruining Her Fiancé’s Proposal With a Mouthful of Sausage!

Jenny Slate made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (November 5) and dished about how she almost ruined her fiancé Ben Shattuck‘s marriage proposal.

“We were in France,” the 37-year-old actress and comedian told host Jimmy. “And as it happens when you’re in France, we came upon an abandoned castle. This happened to me! This is not a lie. We get to the castle, and it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s locked.’ But then, of course, we push the gate because we’re curious.”

They came across an elderly group enjoying a picnic. Having packed a meal themselves, the couple, found a place to sit and began their date: “I had chosen many of the groceries for the picnic, which means that it was just, like, all salami. I love a sausage!,” Jenny continued. “The sun is setting. He’s holding my hand. He’s saying, you know, these beautiful things to me. And all of a sudden, he’s like, ‘Jenny, you mean so much to me. I love you so much.’ I’m like, ‘He’s about to propose to me! I can feel it coming!’”

“I had a moment to kind of, like, calm myself. Like, could have been the Audrey Hepburn of the situation, like very demure,” Jenny admitted. “And he’s like, ‘Will you be my wife?’ And of course, at that moment, when I could’ve been like, ‘Yes,’ or whatever, I have somehow nervously stuffed, like, all of the sausage into my mouth and I’m like, ‘Bleh!’”

Jenny Slate also explained the origin of her book title, “Little Weirds,” and shares how her family handled being interviewed for her Netflix comedy special Stage Fright.

FYI: Jenny is wearing ALDO shoes.
