Wanda sykes, American actress

Even though American actor-comedian Tiffany Haddish didn't win an Emmy this year, she recently told the world what she would have said if she had.According to Fox News, the 40-year-old comedian was nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-taped) for her comedy special 'Black Mitzvah.' She lost the award to Dave Chappelle and his special 'Sticks & Stones.'This year, a number of Emmy nominees were asked to pre-record 30-second acceptance speeches as the awards went the virtual route as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic limiting large crowds.Haddish shared her pre-recorded speech during an appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on Monday (local time).In the video, Haddish donned a gold headpiece.The 'Girls Trip' star began in her speech, "First and foremost, I have to thank God. Thank you, God. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to do anything that I do."As Fox News reported, the 'Night School' actor thanked a handful of others, including Wanda Sykes, Netflix, and the Television Academy.She said, "I want to also point out that I know you see that I'm wearing this Wonder Woman thing, and you know why? Because 1976-78 issue of 'Wonder Woman,' she had a Black sister. Her name was Nubia, I would like to play her."Haddish also gave a shoutout to fellow nominee Jerry Seinfeld. "I really want to be on 'Comedians in Cars [Getting Coffee], I've watched every single episode, 86 of them, and I have yet to see an African-American female comedian that happens to be Jewish on there, so have your girl on," she said at the comedy talk-show.She added: "Even if you're out of cars, it's OK, we can use my Tesla. That's what's up.""Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" features exactly that: Seinfeld, and a famous comedian heading out to grab a cup of Joe.The clip ended with Haddish walking out of the shot as she can be heard saying, "I'm OK, I'm OK."She explained to DeGeneres that she had tripped over a box of DVDs while making her exit.While Haddish did not win the Emmy this year, she previously won for her appearance on 'Saturday Night Live.'( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
