Tiffany Haddish
Tiffany Sarac Haddish is an American comedian, actress, and author born on December 3, 1979, in South Central Los Angeles. Her life story is one of profound resilience, having navigated a turbulent childhood marked by her father’s departure when she was a toddler and a tragic car accident that left her mother with severe brain damage. Consequently, Haddish spent her teenage years in the foster care system, where she frequently used humor as a coping mechanism for trauma. Her path to professional comedy began at age 17 when her social worker gave her an ultimatum to either attend psychiatric therapy or the Laugh Factory Comedy Camp; choosing the latter provided her with a transformative outlet and mentorship from comedy legends like Richard Pryor. After years of struggle, including periods of homelessness where she lived in her car, Haddish’s persistence paid off with a meteoric rise to fame. She gained early recognition on shows like Real Husbands of Hollywood and The Carmichael Show, but her definitive "big break" came with her scene-stealing performance as Dina in the 2017 blockbuster comedy Girls Trip. This role turned her into a household name and led to a string of historic achievements, including becoming the first Black female stand-up comedian to host Saturday Night Live, an accomplishment that earned her a Primetime Emmy Award. She followed this success with a New York Times bestselling memoir, The Last Black Unicorn, and the Grammy Award-winning comedy album Black Mitzvah, making her only the second African American woman to win Best Comedy Album after Whoopi Goldberg. As of late 2025, Haddish remains a prolific force in entertainment, balancing major film roles with deeply personal projects. Her recent work includes the Apple TV+ series The Afterparty and high-profile films like Bad Boys: Ride or Die and the upcoming crime thriller The Girl in the River. In 2025, she also released a vulnerable six-part docuseries titled Tiffany Haddish Goes Off on Peacock, which notably featured a "self-marriage" ceremony—a symbolic commitment to her own independence and emotional boundaries after a series of public personal challenges. Beyond her acting, she is a dedicated philanthropist through her She Ready Foundation, which provides resources, internships, and support to youth aging out of the foster care system, ensuring they have the opportunities she once fought so hard to obtain.
