-Hey!
-Oh, come on, you look great!
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
What -- I love the hair, or the non-hair. What --
-The non-hair. It's growing out just a little bit right now.
Thank you. I'm loving it, too.
My man cut it for me last week.
I am, like, cutting it every two weeks.
-Is this something you always wanted to do?
-Well, yeah, I always wanted to do it.
For years I've been talking about cutting my hair.
And you know, this whole quarantine
and everything made me think, like, "Well, why not now?"
I'm not going to be on any red carpets.
And if I have to be on something,
they always put me in wigs anyways.
And the wigs sit better.
And so I was just like, yeah, let's just go for it.
And I did it online so everybody could see,
because I wanted to know what I look like from my head to toe.
Like, who am I from head to toe?
You know, every religion talks about knowing thy self.
And I know where all my moles are
except for the ones that were on my head.
And now I know I got two moles on my head.
It's a little wrinkly in the back.
You know, and --
When it's all the way gone... -You know you.
-...it's very smooth.
My head kind of feels like a penis.
And that's kinda nice. -Wow.
-It's kinda nice. -Okay, I'll take it.
I love that. -That might have been too far,
but I'm just sharing the knowledge.
I'm learning new things about myself every day
now that I'm bald-headed, you know, like --
-I know you did stand-up again.
I want to say, how did it feel to be in front of a crowd?
An audience?
-It was amazing.
Like, the best sex ever. Okay? -[ Laughing ]
-It was the best.
Like, to be in front of that live audience.
And granted, everyone had on masks,
so you couldn't hear the laughter right away,
but you could see it.
Everybody'd get a little squinty eyes
when they laugh, and their heads are bobbing
and hands are clapping.
And so you find new cues to accept.
And I just -- by the end of it, I felt like a Care Bear.
I felt like I was doing, like, the Care Bear stare
where you're just like, "Yes, jokes, jokes, jokes!"
-Everybody's getting beamed out.
Oh, I love it. [ Laughs ]
It was so good.
It was so amazing.
-The last time you were here, we talked about
your special, "Black Mitzvah,"
and it was right before it came out.
And now it is Emmy-nominated "Black Mitzvah."
So congratulations, you got nominated for an Emmy!
-Thank you. You know, it's so awesome
to be recognized by my peers.
That's, like, amazing.
And the same day that I found out, I felt very grateful.
But I went to the mailbox, and there was all these
handwritten notes from these foster youth
that I have been talking to over the quarantine.
I've been Zoom-calling with a bunch of foster kids
in different group homes.
And it was 40 messages, 40 little handwritten notes
and cards, and they, like, drew on them and colored them,
and that was the best award ever.
Like, that was better than anything.
And, like, when I get down,
I just open those up and read them.
It's like, that's better than any trophy I could ever get.
-Oh, I love it.
-To be recognized by, you know, our youth, our future.
-Good for you for doing that. That's so cool that you do that.
And that's the reward. It's so cool.
I love it. -Yeah, it's great.
-How has your -- has your stand-up changed
since the pandemic and, obviously,
the protests for social justice?
-Well, definitely.
You know, people are always asking me,
"Tiffany, what can we do?
What can we do to make change in --"
And what I've incorporated in my comedy
is something that I think that would work,
that would change the systemic racism
and the injustices that we all suffer.
And I think the key to it is all women
just stop having sex.
Everyone just close their legs,
just shut it down.
Men will get -- I know this has happened in history before.
Wars have stopped because of this.
If every woman just said, "That's it, I'm closing my legs
until justice is served, until there is change,"
then things will be great.
Now the Karens will be overwhelmed
because they don't want change, right?
The Karens want things to stay the same.
So the Karens are going to be overwhelmed,
and after so long, they're going to be like,
"Look, okay, we got to start voting, people."
Karens are going to be out there getting people
registered to vote.
They're going to be talking to black people, Spanish people.
They're going to be talking to --
Karens are going to be like,
"Look, I know, I was talking crazy a few months ago --"
-Now -- -"But I cannot handle
all this sex that I got to do
because everybody shut their legs closed.
So, please, please register to vote.
Please, let's make some change."
-Wow, that is the way to do it.
That's the way to get some change.
