About Tiffany Haddish
Tiffany Sara Cornilia Haddish (born December 3, 1979 or 1980) is an American stand-up comedian, author, and actress. Her breakthrough came with a leading role in the comedy film Girls Trip (2017), which earned her several accolades. She was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2018, and The Hollywood Reporter listed her among the 100 most powerful people in entertainment in both 2018 and 2019.
Haddish gained prominence for roles in the NBC sitcom The Carmichael Show (2015-2017), the TBS series The Last O.G. (2018-2020), the Hulu series Solar Opposites (2020-present), and the Apple TV+ comedy series The Afterparty (2022-2023). She won a Primetime Emmy Award for hosting a Saturday Night Live episode (2017) and published a memoir, The Last Black Unicorn (2017). She also released the album Black Mitzvah in 2019, for which she won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album, making her the second African-American woman to win this prize after Whoopi Goldberg in 1986.
Haddish was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, California. Her father, Tsihaye Reda Haddish, was an Eritrean Jew, and her mother, Leola, was an African-American small business owner. In 1988, her mother suffered severe brain damage in a car accident, and Haddish, then nine years old, became the family's primary caregiver. In 1997, after her social worker gave her an ultimatum to attend either psychiatric therapy or the Laugh Factory Comedy Camp, the 17-year-old Haddish opted for comedy as an outlet for her pain.
