Jenny Slate will co-star in Rebel Wilson’s CBS sitcom Super Fun Night as part of a trio of BFFs. Wilson, who played Kristin Wiig’s roommate in Bridesmaids (“I thought it was a very sad handwritten bookâ€), created and will star in the show that’s about three oddball girlfriends who decide they need to have super fun Friday nights. According to Deadline, Slate will play Helen-Alice, the smart, brainy one. We were already pretty excited for the show, but now that there’s even a slim chance of a Marcel the Shell appearance, we’re all the more jazzed.
