The comedian and actress is hosting ABC's revival of 'Kids Say the Darndest Things,' adding her brand of comedy to the pronouncements by adorable children who don't know how funny they are.
Kelly LawlerTiffany Haddish doesn't have kids of her own, but she's always been around them.
"I’ve been working with kids a majority of my life," she says."I bar mitzvahs for 11 years. I worked at a youth center where I coordinated activities, and took the kids on field trips. Kids are my everything. I don’t have any of my own, but I feel like that’s because I raised my brothers and sisters. I’ve always been around them."
USA TODAY caught up with Haddish to discuss her version of the classic TV series, white privilege, her forthcoming bat mitzvah and why she might show up to the MLB playoffs with a sign hoping to catch the eye of a certain New York Yankee. Q: You appear in the “Hello, Privilege. It’s Me, Chelsea” documentary on Netflix with Chelsea Handler, and got really emotional talking about white privilege and also your ancestry. What were you feeling in that moment?I was feeling hurt. First off, I didn’t know the intensity of the conversation we were going to have. When she asked,"What do you want white people to know," it’s like,"Where do I start?" That’s a heavy question for anybody.
