-Welcome back to "Late Night," everybody.
We're here with Tiffany Haddish, who stars in "The Last O.G."
So, this is a show about Tracy Morgan --
15 years in jail, comes back to Brooklyn,
and it's about how Brooklyn's changed.
It's about his relationships have changed.
You've known Tracy for a long time.
-Yeah, I met Tracy years ago at the Saddle Ranch in Hollywood...
-Uh-huh. -...on Sunset.
And it was, like, karaoke night.
And when I got there, he was singing,
he had his shirt off,
and he was just dancing around like,
"Come on, you girls,
I'm gonna get one of y'all pregnant tonight."
[ Laughter ] And he was just --
Yeah, it was crazy.
He was kissing some Asian lady.
I was like, "Who's that?"
[ Laughter ]
-That -- That seems like the Tracy I know.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Yeah.
I want to also -- if I can go back to Groupon for a second,
I know that you have gone on some, like, Groupon trips.
You went whale watching. -Right, yeah.
I went whale watching with the reporter from "GQ."
And that was -- that was a blast, you know?
-First time you'd obviously gone whale watching?
-First time I ever gone whale watching.
I really wanted to make sure that I saw whales.
I wanted to get my -- all the money's worth, you know?
-Sure. -Yeah, yeah.
It was only like $60 for two tickets,
so I wanted the whole --
-So, what's the right amount of whales for $60?
-I feel like at least three to four whales.
-[ Laughing ] Okay, gotcha. [ Laughter ]
-'Cause here's the thing -- you would think, like,
in the pictures, you know, the whales --
they jump out like in the advertisements
and you see all the whale body, but this wasn't --
whales don't give you their whole body.
[ Laughter ] They -- They --
You know, kind of meek.
You know, they meek creatures. They only --
They let you see the blowhole or just a little bit of the tail
or just show you the hump -- that's it.
They just turn you on like, "Ooh!"
And then they leave.
They like -- They like real women.
I -- Yeah.
[ Laughter and applause ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah. They make you chase them.
Yeah, it was crazy.
-My -- I went as a kid, and I remember
the excitement level was very high
the first few humps you saw... -Mm-hmm.
-...and then it goes down,
because a whale's hump looks pretty similar
from whale to whale.
-Right. -Yeah.
-But you can tell by the barnacles.
-Yeah. -I mean, they got barnacles.
Like, I learned a lot out there about --
like, you know, they got skin issues.
Barnacles is like eczema.
[ Laughter ]
Parasite. Yup. [ Laughter ]
Somebody -- I just wish somebody would just go out there
and just brush them down one time with some soap and water.
-Yeah. It'd be hard.
You'd just have to get them to agree to it.
That would be the key. -I know.
And I would -- You would have to catch the whale.
[ Laughter ] Yeah.
-You -- Jordan Peele
is executive producer of "The Last O.G."
-Yes.
-He -- You were in "Keanu" with him.
-Yes. Yes.
-And then, he asked you to be in "Get Out."
-Well, he asked me to audition for it,
but he let me read it and asked me to audition.
I was like, "Oh, man, look.
I don't -- I don't do scary movies, dawg.
That's -- I don't do that.
You know, that's demonized kind of stuff.
I don't let that in my house."
He was like, "It's not really demons."
And then I was like, "That's the white man
trying take people's souls out of they body..."
[ Laughter ]
"...and opening their brains.
That sound like some demon stuff to me.
I'm cool on that.
I'll watch it...in the daytime,
but I'm not gonna be in it." [ Laughter ]
-It seems to me that it would be less scary
to be in a horror movie than to watch a horror movie.
-I can't do it. I feel -- I'm scared.
Look, I heard about what happened --
Remember "Poltergeist"? -Yeah.
-Was it "Poltergeist" where the girl's head turned around?
-"Exorcist." "Exorcist." -That's "The Exorcist."
Okay, whatever. You know, one of the white scary movies.
And the... [ Laughter ]
They said it was cursed --
the set was cursed and all that stuff.
Like, I -- -Oh, I see.
You don't want to mess around with it, yeah.
-I don't want to get no cursing. [ Laughter ]
People already curse me out enough as it is.
I don't need no extra demon cursing, nothing like that,
'cause I'm working with spirits or whatnot.
-Yeah, that's true. Hey, look.
Now -- Now that you've explained it, I totally understand.
-Yeah, I don't do scary movies. -Gotcha. You --
-But my next movie coming out...
[ Laughter ]
-You -- I know it's tax season coming up.
I have heard that you have issues with your accountant,
or you guys get into it every year.
-Yeah, we get into it every year
because, like, I like to write off everything.
-Uh-huh. -Like, every single thing.
Like, I bought a microscope that was like 300 bucks, right?
And I tried to write it off.
But she was like, "How could you --
you cannot write off a microscope.
You're not, like, a scientist."
I said, "But I am a scientist. See, I do research.
I look at chemicals,
and I look at bacteria and stuff off of doors,
and then I talk about it in my comedy show.
So if I talk about it in my show,
then I should be able to write it off."
[ Laughter ]
So, I'll -- I'll write off, like, all kinds of stuff --
like, just really crazy things that I don't want to say --
like condoms --
everything that keep me healthy, you know?
[ Laughter ] -Sure.
-I want to write all that stuff off.
-You are not related to Halle Berry.
-No, I'm not related to Halle Berry.
-But you used to tell people you were to get into clubs?
-Yeah, so, you know, back -- you know, um...
[ Laughter ]
...back in the late 1900s, early 2000s...
[ Laughter ]
...I wasn't that popular, but I loved to go dancing --
that's, like, my favorite thing to do --
and I love going dancing in, like, Hollywood nightclubs.
Well, to get in, I would walk up to the door,
and I'd make sure I had my short haircut wig on, right?
And I'll walk up to the door, and I'll tell them,
"Halle Berry is my auntie, and she told me
to come check out the club and make sure it's cool.
If it's cool, I'm supposed to call her
and let her know to come up here."
And they always would let me in.
And sometimes, I had, like, long hair on,
so then I'd tell them, "Whitney Houston -- my auntie,
and she said to come through." [ Laughter ]
So that's how we'd get in the club.
-And that worked for a very long time?
-Yeah, yeah. And then, when I went to Miami,
I would tell them, "Yo, my boy Cesar's in there.
Cesar told me to come up here,"
and they would let me in off of that.
-Well, I'm very happy now
that you don't probably have to name --
drop my names other than your own.
-Yeah, I don't have to drop no more names no more.
-Well, that's well deserved.
-Just like, "Hi. It's me." [ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you so much for being here, Tiffany.
-Thank you.
