Tiffany Haddish auditioned forSaturday Night Livethree times before theGirls Tripstar was asked to host.

I was super grateful to be there in that capacity, as opposed to as a regular performer.
To be a host is a super big honor.
I Googled and saw that Whoopi Goldberg had been on it, so I reached out to her.
To Haddishs surprise, Whoopi had only done a singleSNLsketch.
Her advice: You the first, bitch, you better do a good job.
Her secret: I always make fun of the guy.
I make it a joke, she told theTimes.
Most of the time they get scared.
And I let everyone know Im a tattletale.
That I will snitch.
That might be why it took me so long to get where Im at now.
