This season, these comics are veterans,
-
they are professionals at tickling the soul,
-
and I wanna give them the kind of shine that they deserve.
-
Welcome to "They Ready: Season Two."
-
Godfrey, ladies and gentlemen! (audience cheers)
-
- I love performing, I love creating.
-
I'm Nigerian, okay, but people question me.
-
Every time I'm on stage I'm like,
-
"Yeah, that's why I'm here."
-
They want us to be like, "Hello, everybody.
-
I am happy to be here." (audience laughing)
-
- [Tiffany] Erin Jackson! (audience cheers)
-
- You have to be a different kind of woman to do comedy.
-
A girl I went to school with just started doing porn.
-
I wouldn't change a thing, I'm here.
-
Which is not a thing I thought
-
you could start doing in your 40s,
-
but go 'head, girl, if they're hiring.
-
(audience laughs)
-
- [Tiffany] Tony Woods! (audience cheers)
-
- All my life people said I was funny.
-
What's the first thing you think about with a kangaroo?
-
Is its pouch.
-
- Every great comedian that I know
-
always pays homage to you.
-
- Imagine the best thing
-
about your outfit is your pouch, right?
-
But your arms are too short.
-
You say, "Hey, man, get my keys out."
-
(audience laughs)
-
- [Tiffany] Kimberly Clark,
-
ladies and gentlemen! (audience cheers)
-
- There's so many great comedians out there
-
that never, ever get any shine.
-
I'm looking for comfortable shoes
-
that won't make me look like a biblical character.
-
It's really difficult. (audience laughs)
-
When Tiffany called me, I was like, "Wow."
-
You got birth control shoes.
-
(audience laughs)
-
- [Tiffany] Barbara Carlyle! (audience cheers)
-
- Been doing comedy for 44 years.
-
I forgot I was married one day.
-
Rolled over and said,
-
"Do you know you need to get up and go home?"
-
(audience laughs)
-
Life, for me, ain't been no crystal stair.
-
A lot of good looking people in the house tonight.
-
- [Audience] Woo!
-
- A lot of ugly motherfuckers in here too.
-
(audience laughs)
-
- [Tiffany] Dean Edwards! (audience cheers)
-
- I'm big on manifestation.
-
I made a recording where I said,
-
"I'm shooting a special in 2020."
-
I didn't go see "Black Panther"
-
initially when it first came out y'all.
-
And here we are,
-
we've just breathed it into existence.
-
All these Black people in this movie,
-
I couldn't get no audition
-
for none of the roles in this movie?
-
Goddamn. (audience laughs)
-
- It's gon' be off the chain.
-
- L.A., what's up?
-
- Tiffany Haddish rocks!
-
- Kinda dumb, ain't you?
-
- I got you.
-
- This gon' be funny.
-
- Thank you so much.
-
- Are you ready?
-
(audience cheering)
-
(upbeat music)
-
This season, I purposely made sure everybody was Black,
-
because I'm Black.
-
Was that too much? I'm sorry.
