""I did a campaign with Ray-Ban once, and they were supposed to give me a pair of these, but they never did," the 45-year-old actress and comedian says, checking her reflection in a full-length mirror. "If there's one thing I can't stand, it's when people don't keep their promises." Her voice cracks a little as she turns to me and whispers, "Foster-kid shit.""
"Her glasses are recording behind-the-scenes footage for Kimmel's website mere weeks before ABC will abruptly suspend production under pressure from the Trump administration. For now, it's the calm before the storm - Kimmel has yet to accuse MAGA loyalists of "trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," and his show is an early stop on what appears to be a comeback tour for Haddish."
"Haddish has been a fan favorite on Jimmy Kimmel Live! since 2017, the year she rocketed to the Hollywood A-list with her breakout performance as Dina, the Zach Galifianakis-type wild card in Malcolm D. Lee's Hangover-esque comedy Girls Trip, about four women - played by Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Regina Hall - on a debaucherous New Orleans getaway."
Tiffany Haddish prepares backstage wearing camera glasses while guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! She recounts a failed Ray-Ban promise and links the disappointment to foster-care experiences. Her behind-the-scenes footage is being recorded for Kimmel's website just weeks before ABC will suspend production amid political pressure. The moment represents calm before controversy and an early stop in Haddish's renewed visibility following her 2017 breakout as Dina in Girls Trip. Prior to that success, Haddish toured as a comic and held a supporting role on The Carmichael Show, often winning parts after originally cast actresses were unavailable and charming casts with rowdy energy.
