In the episode airing Thursday, the 38-year-old funny lady remembers meeting the mogul when she was an extra on the set of Their Eyes Were Watching God. She recalls:
“She had walked by and I was making all the other extras laugh├óΓé¼┬ª She said, ‘You’re a very funny young lady.’ I was like [makes excited noise] and she said, ‘What’s your name?’ I said, ‘My name is Tiffany Haddish, and I’m a stand-up comedian.’… She said, ‘Well, keep me updated on your career, write me, let me know what you got going on. I love comedy,’ I said, ‘Oh yeah, I know, I know.’ And so, I would write her, right? She never wrote back.”‘
Although Tiffany thought she had already left the building, Miz Winfrey reemerges on stage, much to everyone’s delight!
