This is what they mean by an “overnight success.” Never mind that Tiffany Haddish, 39, began dabbling in comedy when she was 17 years old and that such luminaries as Richard Pryor and The Wayans Brothers have shepherded her career.
Never mind that she was a working comedian in Los Angeles for years and years, refining her craft. Never mind that she had memorable turns in television shows ranging from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia to New Girl. Never mind that she had starred in multiple feature films before Girls Trip, including Key and Peele’s Keanu. It was that moment, that film—Girls Trip—that announced to the world of Tiffany Haddish that “she ready!” From there, the ride has been golden. She is a go-to guest for late-night talk shows—she cracks up Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon on the regular. Her high energy and enthusiasm has made her a star to watch in anticipated upcoming films like The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and The Kitchen.
Haddish’s ability to turn her real-life situations into bust-a-gut funny stories is what makes her so special. That’s how one becomes an “overnight success.”
