Tiffany Haddish on Trevor Noah's Dimples, Meryl Streep as Her Mom, and Buying a Bidet on Groupon

It's a good time to be Tiffany Haddish. The Girls Trip star is fresh off of scoring an exciting partnership with Groupon, inking a first-look deal with HBO, and becoming a New York Times bestselling author. As if that weren't enough, Tiffany already has two other projects lined up: The Last O.G., a TV series with Tracy Morgan set to premiere in April, and Night School, a comedy about troublemakers forced to attend night school in order to receive their GEDs, costarring Kevin Hart (in theaters this September). While her rise to superstardom might seem sudden, Tiffany is no overnight success.


The 38-year-old Los Angeles native got her start as an "energy producer" at bar mitzvahs and has worked her way up from telling jokes at the Laugh Factory as a teenager to becoming the first black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live. Tiffany has built quite an impressive résumé on screen as well, acting alongside Jordan Peele, Queen Latifah, and Jada Pinkett-Smith. You might recall Tiffany took the latter actress on a Groupon-assisted swamp tour, which lead to her current deal with the e-commerce website. We caught up with the hilarious actress to discuss love for Groupon, why she wants Meryl Streep to play her mom in Girls Trip 2, and her thoughts on the #MeToo movement. Get ready to fall in love with Tiffany all over again.


POPSUGAR: You're starring in a new Super Bowl ad for Groupon. What's the best Groupon deal you've ever scored?


Tiffany Haddish: I got a bidet for $298. Yup! Best thing I ever bought.


PS: Why was that?! [Laughs]


TH: It's a bidet! Man, I spent so much money on toilet paper and whatnot. And then . . . you don't even really need no man when you got a bidet. I mean, come on. It's the best.


PS: We all remember the hilarious Groupon story you shared about Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, but if you could go on another Groupon date with any other celebrity, who would you go with and where would you take them?


TH: I would love to take Trevor Noah to a nice dinner and then to some sort of resort. Or, you know what — no, we would go to a nice dinner and then we would go to one of those pottery classes where you work with the clay. And I would be like, 'Come on, let's bring back [the movie] Ghost,' and then he would be like, 'Tiffany, it's not that kind of friendship,' and I would be like, 'But it is now!' [Laughs]
