Tiffany Haddish appears to be in good spirits despite her recent DUI incident.
Over the weekend, the “Night School” star reportedly poked fun at the incident during a stand-up show at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, California, hours after it occurred.
According to an audience-captured recording obtained by TMZ on Friday (Nov. 24), the actress was asked about “last night.” Playfully, she responded, “Ah, damn. You tell me. I don’t know,” before sharing a humorous remark about the situation.
“I had prayed to God to send me a man with a job, preferably in a uniform,” she said, per the recording. “God answered my prayers because God believes in me.”
As mentioned, the longtime comedian was arrested by BHPD on Friday and released later that day after authorities received a call around 5:45 a.m. local time about a woman found asleep at the wheel while the car engine was still running.
Her breakthrough came in with a leading role in the comedy film Girls Trip (2017), which earned her several accolades, such as nominations for two Critics’ Choice Awards. In 2021, Haddish’s performance was included on The New Yorker’s list of the best film performances of the 21st century. She won a Primetime Emmy Award for hosting a Saturday Night Live episode (2017) and published a memoir, The Last Black Unicorn (2017).
She starred in the TBS series The Last O.G. (2018-2020) and executive produced and voiced Tuca in the Netflix/Adult Swim animated series Tuca & Bertie (2019-present). Haddish 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. In 2022, she was part of the main cast for the crime comedy series The Afterparty and is set to reprise her role in the show’s second season.
