Tiffany Haddish’s ‘SNL’ Hosting Gig Will Make History Tiffany Haddish is doing the damn thing this year, and her hard work is definitely paying off. She is showing up absolutely everywhere and seems to be having the year of a lifetime. She has her own comedy special on ShowTime, and of course her critically acclaimed performance on “Girls Trip,” and those two are only just the tip of the iceberg. As Tiffany’s run continues, the comedian will make history as she becomes the first black female comedian to host on “Saturday Night Live.” ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Haddish wrote on her Instagram the announcement of the historical moment, writing “This Saturday, 11/11 on #SNL !! Can you believe I will be the very #first black female comedian host?!? #SheReady .” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s hard to believe that in a 43-season long show, not one female black comedian has been tapped to host the show–but they always have had a lot of issues with the diversity of their own cast. Haddish will host the show on this Saturday, the 11th. Unfortunately, Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform as the musical guest that night. Sad. Congrats to Tiffany Haddish for making history with her black girl magic!
