CUTTYHUNK ISLAND, Mass. - Actress Jenny Slate, known for her roles on “Parks and Recreation” “Saturday Night Live” and as the voice of Assistant Mayor Bellwether in “Zootopia,” will have a very small audience when she addresses the Class of 2019.

Slate will give the graduation speech for the ceremony at Cuttyhunk Elementary on Cuttyhunk Island off Cape Cod. The ceremony will graduate only one eighth grade student, 13-year-old Gwen Lynch, The New York Times reported.

Cuttyhunk Island has a population of about 12 people most of the year, the Cape Cod Times reported. Vacationers fill the 2 and a half mile long island during the summer, according to The New York Times.

It can only be reached by either boat or plane.

Gwen, who is the only student at the one-room schoolhouse, first asked Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey to speak at her ceremony. Slate was the one who accepted the invitation.

That should be enough to qualify her for the Democratic debates.

Great little island to sail to in the summer. The harbor is a perfect place to spend the night on the way to Martha’s Vineyard.

I have been reading about this for about three weeks. She had a good publicist.

Ooh, look! A Beto O’Rourke rally!

Seriously: Jenny Slate is pretty reprehensible. Her entire career consists of shows for kids, and a “romantic comedy” about how wonderful abortion is.

Actually, If this IS a transexual I’m going to have to re-think my sexuality because I don’t think I would kick this girl? Guy? 1/2 & 1/2? Out of bed. I’m disturbingly attracted to this person?,”Thing”? Maybe if it was a robot I wouldn’t be so confused. I can’t wait for “7” G.

And she dated ‘Captain America’ for a long time. Chris Evans is a far-Left America hater. So Slate must be an America Hater, too. I cannot watch any of Evans’s movies.

I say this because I can clearly see an Adam’s Apple or the remnants thereof.

There’s no accounting for taste. I do not find her attractive in the least, whereas to me that comic actress Melissa McCarthy is a jaw-dropping bombshell of a woman.
