The view starts live

0:26

right now. Museum

0:29

exhibition is the

0:31

stars aligned at last night's

0:33

Met Gala with wild styles

0:35

and eye-popping outfits. Was it

0:37

a bad look for A-list

0:39

attendees to party while protests

0:42

raged outside, or did

0:44

they make the right fashion statement? Don

0:47

the con? The judge

0:49

and the former president's fraud trial threatens

0:51

to throw him in jail if he

0:54

violates his gag order again. Would

0:56

being in the clink sink him

0:58

in the polls or make him

1:00

a magma martyr? He's taken away

1:02

by constitutional right to speak. Then

1:05

Tiffany Haddish is sharing the joy

1:07

and pain of her journey to

1:10

superstardom and the famous friends who

1:12

inspired her to reach for the

1:14

stars. Plus, it's Teacher Appreciation Week

1:16

and someone at the table is

1:19

having a surprise class reunion with

1:21

a teacher who helped them find

1:23

their voice. Here

1:26

come Hot Topics with

1:29

Whoopi, Sarah

1:32

Haines, Anna

1:35

Navarro, Joy

1:38

Behar, Sunny

1:40

Hostin, and

1:42

Alyssa Farah Griffin. Now,

1:46

let's get things started. Joy

2:03

is out

2:06

today, she'll be back

2:14

tomorrow and the fabulous Anna is

2:16

here with us. So

2:31

as protests continue throughout New York

2:33

and you know

2:35

who's criminal trial continues

2:37

downtown, some of the

2:39

biggest A-list names gathered at the

2:41

city's Metropolitan Museum last night for

2:43

the annual Met Gala. Now,

2:48

as always, people always got something to say,

2:50

so some folks were claiming that the event

2:52

was a little out of touch given what's

2:54

happening in the world right now, but

2:57

others say it's a little escape that everyone needed

2:59

for a couple of hours. I

3:02

needed to escape, I'll tell you that. And

3:04

I love fashion, I'm wearing florals and

3:07

homage to the theme of the night,

3:09

which was a

3:11

theme of gardens really, and it was

3:13

Garden of Time. I think when

3:16

you look at who won the

3:18

night, in my view, it's Zendaya. She

3:20

won the night. She doesn't miss. She

3:22

didn't miss, she understood the assignment, executed

3:25

the assignment flawlessly. She had

3:27

a costume change. You need a costume

3:29

change to really be bad, and she

3:31

was. Her makeup

3:34

also, shout out to her hair and

3:36

makeup team because that was really on point as

3:38

well. I want to mention

3:40

briefly Jennifer Lopez, she wore a sheer

3:42

Skia Pirelli gown with sequins and beatings.

3:44

That's the picture of the night. Elsa

3:46

Pirelli. I don't know. You

3:51

know better than I do. And

3:54

then finally, I can't pronounce it, I can't

3:56

afford it. Yeah, exactly. Same,

3:59

same Anna. And finally, Mindy Kaling,

4:02

people are a little bit divided over this, but

4:04

her dress was called The Melting Flower of Time.

4:07

It's a structured gown and it was designed

4:09

by the incredible Indian designer, Gaurav

4:11

Gupta. And I think she also

4:14

was one of the winners of it. Always great. I love

4:16

her. I needed the estate business.

4:18

I was like, I had the Trump trial on, but

4:20

then was just glued to watching the live stream in

4:22

the fashion. I'm like, I need this for me. I

4:24

feel extremely strongly about sticking to a theme. Like

4:26

if I was supposed to be a part of

4:29

it, you gotta show up and gasp for your

4:31

not getting in the door. Bring on the jaggy.

4:33

Here it comes, Alicia. So actually I just wanna

4:35

highlight people who really stuck to this theme. And

4:37

because it was Sleeping Beauty's reawakening fashion with the

4:39

new exhibit that they were honoring, but then the

4:41

dress code was the Garden of Time. And what

4:43

I love about the Met Gala is it's kind

4:45

of open to interpretation, the theme. So some of

4:47

the ones that I loved were Gigi

4:49

Hadid, just she was gorgeous, stunning, this

4:51

huge tray. Kendall Jenner,

4:53

I didn't understand it at first.

4:55

I'm like, huh, it's not giving

4:57

Garden of Time, but Sleeping Beauty's

4:59

reawakening fashion. This is a vintage

5:01

Givenchy dress that's never been worn

5:03

before. Givenchy. Givenchy.

5:06

Oh, again, can't afford it never wearing it. So

5:09

she's showing homage to a designer that this

5:11

dress had never been seen. So I think

5:13

she did a different interpretation of this theme.

5:16

Greta Lee, she's just so cool. She flexes

5:18

her fashion muscles at all these events. And

5:20

then Ayo Adebri, I'm probably mispronouncing from

5:23

the bear, she has just showed

5:25

up at all the awards shows at all the

5:27

galas and just nails it every time. So

5:29

much fun to watch. These are good choices. So, you know,

5:31

I think it's both things,

5:33

right? I think it's out of touch

5:35

and I think it's escapism. And

5:38

that's okay, it's always been kind

5:40

of a larger than life event.

5:43

I'm also wearing an homage to my look last

5:45

night because I was on the couch. I

5:48

mean, I don't pretend to

5:50

be a fashionista anytime

5:54

I look halfway decent because Fran Taylor, our

5:56

stylist here has done it. Left to my

5:58

own devices, it's very... very, very bad. But

6:01

I think it's fun.

6:03

You and I were working last

6:05

night. I was thinking, what counts was she

6:08

on? Yeah. Yeah, we were

6:10

working last night. But I was kind of

6:12

like scrolling through social media. I think that's

6:14

part of the reason that it's become so

6:16

big because social media now lets us watch

6:18

in a way that it wouldn't before. So who

6:20

did I love? I love Cardi B because let

6:22

me tell you. Oh, she was there. Anytime you

6:25

show up to the red

6:27

carpet and you become the carpet?

6:29

Yeah. And look at those jewels.

6:32

I mean, I just love her larger than life. That's

6:34

bigger than my first apartment. Five men helping her with

6:36

her dress. I don't, I'm literally 10 men

6:38

helping her with her dress. Goddess.

6:41

Benito, Bad Bunny. Bad

6:43

Bunny. Bad Bunny was absolutely amazing. And

6:45

he showed up, I love the fact

6:48

that he always represents. He showed up

6:50

with a bouquet of flowers. One

6:53

was the Flor de Maga, which

6:55

is the national flower of Puerto

6:57

Rico. Roses and a thistle, which is

7:00

what Sleeping Beauty initially pricked

7:02

her finger. So, okay,

7:04

can we just talk about nailing the theme? And

7:08

I also love

7:11

Coleman Domingo. That man, I

7:13

mean, he always shows up.

7:18

And last night was a tribute, he said

7:20

was a tribute to Chadwick

7:22

Boseman and Andre Leon

7:24

Cali. Chadwick has shown

7:27

up. Andre always wore

7:29

the cake. You showed

7:31

up in a purple cake through the last time

7:33

you were in a place. No, the last time

7:35

I went, I was in a thing that Pierre

7:37

Paolo did from Valentino. And with Andre? Well, you

7:40

were so fancy, Whoopi. I love it when Whoopi's

7:42

fancy. Well, you know, listen,

7:46

designers know that they're gonna

7:48

have fun with me because I

7:51

have no taste when it comes

7:53

to other people's taste. I

7:55

like what I like and that's what I'm aware.

7:57

And most of it is not connected

7:59

to any. You

8:02

know, it just makes me feel good to

8:04

wear it. So, you know, Andre and

8:08

I had a good time, but he was like,

8:10

this is a lot of work. I'm just

8:12

like, we're gonna be up all night. We're

8:14

gonna be there. It is a huge thing,

8:16

but who did you love? Well, first of all, I

8:18

wanted to ask you, when they go to the

8:20

other side of the door, because you're the only one that's been

8:23

to, I think, to the Met Gala inside, do

8:25

they sit down? Do they eat in those

8:27

things? Do people change? But is there like

8:29

a second eating outfit or something? Not

8:32

with me. Okay. Because

8:34

I'm too late, one time dressed. Some

8:36

of them, you look at them and there's, no, they

8:39

don't even walk. Did you see the stand? Well, then

8:41

she was moved like a human chest piece. Yeah. And

8:44

then- Jim Kardashian couldn't have eaten in that.

8:46

No, well, you can't breathe. Many

8:48

of them aren't, I don't think. She couldn't have eaten in it.

8:51

I always have to shout out my girl Kiki

8:53

Palmer, because I think of- Oh, she looked great.

8:55

She looked stunning. She was super great. And,

8:57

but I also was laughing because when

8:59

you, Jim Kardashian. Yes. When

9:02

you hear the descriptions of people's, it's

9:04

almost like looking at pictures without the

9:06

descriptions. You mentioned the description of

9:08

the flower, and I'm like, oh gosh, that's

9:10

so meaningful. I look on Fast Forward, when

9:12

I saw Michelle Yeoh, who I think is

9:15

phenomenal, I was like, wait, is the theme

9:17

rental drop? Because she looks like, look at

9:19

that dress. Yeah. Sometimes I'd love

9:21

to try to interpret what the artistic take was.

9:23

Because it's so far from how I see it.

9:25

I'm like, if it ain't athleisure, we're not wearing

9:28

it. These themes are like hard, to me, I

9:30

think they're very hard to interpret. You say you

9:32

like a theme, but I think like Gatsby,

9:34

or like a white party, Hawaiian luau, is

9:36

a little more easy to interpret than reawakening

9:38

sleeping beauty, the garden of time. The flower

9:41

of time, what's complicated about the garden of

9:43

time? Yeah, no, and it's actually, this theme

9:45

was based on a short story

9:47

where these people were sort of in a

9:49

castle, and they were

9:51

rich, and then people were out

9:54

of time. The people were coming to get them, the

9:56

townspeople coming to get them, and he saved them little by

9:58

little by plucking flowers. but ultimately they

10:00

were gonna die. That

10:02

was really dark too. To

10:05

be sorry. That's where the, okay. If

10:07

you're into that book, that's fantastic. I

10:11

also have another one for you. Yeah! My

10:14

name is M.Y. The Pecation. My

10:16

mother and my brother are names

10:18

available in stores and online today.

10:22

Yeah, I had a great time talking about

10:24

it last night at the 92nd Street

10:26

Y. Where it

10:28

turns out, this brilliant

10:31

woman was also doing an interview. Who

10:33

were you interviewing? Oh, it was, listen, last

10:35

night I felt like I was

10:37

with Puerto Rican royalty. So I was, so

10:40

Lin-Manuel Miranda. Yeah. The

10:45

creator of Hamilton and In the Heights,

10:47

his father wrote a book. His father

10:49

is great. Lin-Manuel, Lin

10:51

always says, I'm the slacker in my

10:53

family and it's true. Luis

10:56

Miranda is absolutely fantastic. And

10:58

then, icing

11:00

on the cake, Rita Moreno shows

11:02

up. Yeah! And

11:05

they were, the

11:08

book is called Relentless and it's

11:10

a wonderful story about Luis,

11:12

about their family, about Puerto Ricans

11:15

in New York, Latinos, and

11:17

Lin was so incredibly happy to have coincided

11:19

with you. Well, I

11:21

love him. I

11:23

fell in love with him when I saw

11:25

In the Heights, when it first opened. And

11:28

I lost my mind. I came actually on

11:30

this show and talked about the fact that

11:33

here was an entire crew

11:35

of Latin Americans doing

11:38

their thing and people were finally

11:40

going to see it. Because representation,

11:42

we always say, is everything. Whether

11:45

we need to represent as women, represent

11:47

as people of color, whatever it is,

11:50

represent as white people. Everybody needs, no

11:52

I'm serious. Everybody

11:54

needs representation. Everybody

11:57

needs it. It

12:00

was heavenly, you know. It was a

12:02

wonderful day. It was wonderful. They said your event was

12:04

absolutely terrific. We had a good time. So

12:08

I guess we'll be right back. This

14:30

as we think, Stormy

14:32

Daniels is on the stand testifying

14:34

in the criminal fraud trial of You Know

14:36

Who. And he was

14:38

out there whining outside.

14:40

He is such a snowflake. Oh

14:44

my God. They're so mean

14:46

to me. He

14:49

was whining outside the courtroom yesterday about

14:51

the judge threatening to throw him in

14:53

the clink if he keeps violating the

14:55

gag order. See, when they give you

14:57

a gag order, they're ordering you to

14:59

shut up. And because

15:05

that's what they're ordering you to do

15:08

and you're not following the rules like you

15:10

haven't followed the rules before and that's

15:12

why you're behind is in court

15:14

now. You

15:16

know, and you, you crying about it. I mean, it's

15:18

crazy. Take a look. I have to ask every word

15:20

I tell you people. You ask me a question, a simple question. I'd like to do it.

15:23

But I can't talk about it. Because

15:26

there's some justices that

15:28

give me a gag order and

15:30

say you're going to jail with you, mother. And

15:34

frankly, you know, what our Constitution is much more important than

15:36

jail. What's that even

15:38

in place? I don't

15:40

do that, Dr. Vice, anything. When

15:44

did you read the Constitution? You

15:48

know, you could have had, oh, you had four

15:50

years to read the Constitution and figure it out.

15:53

But I, I, I, he just read it now. He just

15:56

read it. I think the book. Well,

15:58

even if it were to be read, I don't know. If

16:00

he read it, it didn't matter to him, right

16:02

Whoopi? I'm sort of conflicted about whether or not

16:04

he should be held in contempt and put in,

16:07

he's already been held in contempt, but put in

16:09

jail for it. But I do think that 71%

16:11

of Americans have said that he should be put

16:13

in jail if he is convicted. The other thing

16:15

I will say, we all saw, many of us

16:17

are old enough to have seen the OJ case.

16:20

I remember how Judge Edo lost complete control of

16:22

the courtroom and I think that had a lot

16:24

to do with the win. You

16:27

cannot let Donald

16:29

Trump be a runaway train in that courtroom.

16:31

It's not his courtroom, it's Judge's courtroom. And

16:34

so I think to make a point, to

16:36

prove a point, put him in a clink. Oh,

16:38

why not? Put him in a clink. Oh, oh,

16:40

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

16:42

Oh, hey. I

16:46

don't want this to sound like I'm doing wishful thinking.

16:48

Yes. But

16:50

which prison would be bad? I

16:54

know that one. I'm gonna give you Michael.

16:56

Well, that's what I got. Number

16:58

one, Michael. But,

17:00

you know, I'm okay if

17:02

he goes to Alcatraz and

17:06

they reopen it. Oh, maybe.

17:09

You know, what about

17:11

Guantanamo Bay? Okay.

17:14

That'd be close tomorrow, Lago. Melania can come

17:16

and visit. That's right. What

17:19

about Supermax? Supermax would

17:21

be interested to tell. Chappo was in Supermax.

17:24

You know, hey, now he wants to be

17:26

with the hip people. Come on. So

17:28

these are my suggestions. Anybody

17:31

wants to know. I actually think this

17:33

case is, and I hate to say this, but I

17:36

think in some ways it's helping Trump. Because

17:39

there's no cameras in the courtroom like with OJ. If

17:41

there were cameras in the courtroom, we would all be,

17:44

we would not even be on the air right now

17:47

because they would be carrying Stormy's testimony

17:49

right now. We would all be stuck to

17:51

this. But there is no camera in the

17:53

courtroom. So we're having to rely on third-person

17:55

accounts and court illustrations. And

17:57

unless you're getting paid to pay attention. the

18:00

likelihood is you're not paying attention. And

18:02

what we're not paying attention to is

18:04

some of the really stupid things that

18:07

he says all over the

18:09

place, right? Like when he's campaigning in that

18:11

Time interview that he did with Time magazine.

18:13

So, I don't know.

18:15

I just, I, let's go back to the

18:17

Met Gala. I think there

18:19

is a courtroom and then there's the court of public

18:22

opinion. I actually, I hate to say this because

18:24

I want to see him held accountable. I don't think

18:26

that the prosecution's thoroughly proven the case yet. I

18:28

do think they showed this was about the campaign. That's

18:30

why he didn't want it to come out. That's

18:32

half. They still have to definitively, beyond a reasonable

18:34

doubt, convince them that he was falsified to business

18:37

records. And they may get there. There's some two

18:39

more weeks. But the court of

18:41

public opinion, as we're speaking, Stormy Daniels is

18:43

talking about him asking her if she has

18:45

SPDs, if she was regularly tested. And I

18:48

hate to even bring up Salatia, stuff like

18:50

that. But people watching who don't necessarily, you

18:52

know, hadn't paid as much attention, this could

18:54

sway some minds. So even if he's not

18:56

convicted, this may resonate with women. I think.

19:00

Okay. Well, they haven't. I

19:02

can't take any more of the coverage because I

19:04

was watching even this morning and there's a picture

19:06

of the door he's not going into with a

19:08

still shot of him. And then three people squeezed

19:10

into a little thing trying to talk about it

19:12

like this. Like the around the clock coverage, there's

19:14

so many things going on in the world and

19:16

in our country. Give us the highlight reel. Give

19:19

us the five points that you need to know

19:21

at the end of the day. That's all I

19:23

need. I love it. I

19:25

love it. Sun sun, sun sun. I'm like the less

19:27

I've been watching it. Oh, I'm so sorry. I have

19:29

a legal note. Trump

19:32

has pleaded not guilty to

19:34

falsifying business records and has denied

19:37

ever having an affair with

19:39

Stormy Daniels. And

19:42

that's what you do. You deny,

19:45

deny, deny. Lie,

19:47

lie, lie, deny, deny, deny.

19:51

We'll be right back. Oh.

20:01

Well, Tiffany Haddish always brings the

20:03

wit, honesty, and an attitude that

20:05

made her a comedy superstar. And

20:07

she's bringing it to the pages

20:10

of her new memoir, I Curse

20:12

You With Joy. Please welcome, not

20:14

our Joy Joy, but

20:16

she's just cursing you with joy. Please

20:19

welcome back the most fabulous Tiffany

20:21

Haddish. Tiffany

20:35

Haddish, my

20:49

Jinny. I'm

20:54

going

20:56

to

20:59

book you

21:02

out number

21:04

three. I curse

21:06

you with joy. It

21:09

is funny and poignant. You write

21:11

about reconnecting with your

21:13

dad later in life. Growing

21:15

up with your mom after she'd been in a

21:18

bad accident that really changed both of your lives.

21:20

And so how was this process

21:23

for you writing this

21:25

particular book? Girl, okay, so, okay,

21:27

first of all, not girl, mama. It

21:32

was kind of like crazy because the first

21:34

book, it was so much in there

21:36

and it was too many pages. I felt like it was

21:38

too much. So I took a lot out and I saved

21:41

it for this book. So there's a lot of things that

21:43

are like left in the, like, what happened with this? What

21:45

is this? What the? It's

21:48

filled in here. And I was like, okay, what do

21:50

I want to share over the last five years? What,

21:53

what have I learned? I really wanted to make

21:55

a manual on how to be famous, but then I

21:57

realized I still don't know how to be that. I'm

22:02

just being me, so I write about what

22:04

I know about, my experiences, where I failed,

22:07

how I turned those failures into successes, and

22:09

just how to be a human

22:12

is best I can anyways. Yeah.

22:14

Yeah. So yeah. Yeah, that. Yeah,

22:17

and people will, I think

22:19

it'll help a lot of people, especially what

22:22

we just mentioned, you have this deep connection

22:24

to Eritrea, the African country your father was

22:26

from, right? I

22:28

remember you wearing a dress, you write about

22:31

wanting to honor him by wearing the gown

22:33

to the 2018 Oscars, but

22:36

that, yeah, it was gorgeous. Yes. Yeah.

22:39

But I've read that that

22:41

almost didn't happen. Yes, that almost didn't

22:43

happen, and I go into explicit DTO

22:45

that I cannot go into on TV,

22:48

but in the book I go into

22:50

detail, and oh yeah, this book is not for kids

22:52

at all, it's for adults. It's

22:54

for the grownups, don't let your kids read it, unless you

22:56

wanna have those kind of conversations. I

22:58

was talking about in the book about

23:00

that day, because the stylist wanted me

23:02

to wear a different type of dress,

23:05

a current designer, and I wanted to

23:07

wear this Eritrean designer's dress. I wanted

23:09

to wear that, it's princess dress, it's

23:11

a traditional dress, it's a zooter, it's

23:13

representing our people, and my father, before

23:15

he passed, he bestowed upon me that,

23:17

like things I had to do, right? And

23:20

I'm always about honoring my parents, even if

23:22

he didn't raise me, he did give me

23:24

life, right? And he asked

23:26

me to make sure that people

23:29

knew that Eritre existed, to honor

23:31

our ancestors, to represent the best

23:33

way that I can, always stay

23:35

informed, always learn, keep learning, learning,

23:38

and like love God, and do what's

23:40

right by our people, and show up. Yeah,

23:43

that's how people do

23:45

it. That's what I do. Representation

23:47

matters. Yeah. And

23:49

Tiffany, you've made some very big changes

23:51

in your life recently, right? Your sober?

23:55

Yeah, I'm not drinkin' a lot for

23:57

alcohol. Beautiful. You're

24:00

looking fine as hell and you're

24:03

celibate now? Okay, right, pause, pause.

24:05

Okay, right. That's right. That's

24:07

right. Just cause I ain't got nothing in there

24:09

don't mean I'm, you know, like I'm trying to be like,

24:11

no, I don't want to give up none. I would like

24:13

to, but they have to earn it. Yes,

24:16

yes. Like

24:19

I want to, I don't want to. I don't wait. How

24:22

are we defining celibacy? Okay, celibacy

24:24

is like, Today. Today. The

24:27

last few months, the last, you know, kissing

24:30

don't count. Okay. Okay. And

24:33

like nobody's inside of my body. So like I look

24:35

at it like this, like every time you let some,

24:37

as a woman anyways, I feel like you're giving up

24:40

a piece of your soul. Agreed. Like

24:42

you're sharing your soul with this person. And

24:44

I don't think everybody deserves to get a

24:46

piece of my soul. Yeah. And

24:49

they need to qualify for it. Yeah. Like a

24:51

loan. In my book. You do like your

24:53

loan. You have a loan. You gotta qualify.

24:55

Like a loan. You gotta qualify. Like a

24:57

loan. Do you have an EIN number? Do

25:00

you have employees? Are they long-term employees? Do they like

25:02

working for you? Where I like being in your presence?

25:04

Are you a good leader? Cause once I let you

25:07

inside of me, I'm gonna want to follow you. Oh,

25:09

I'm gonna follow you. Oh, all those

25:11

things. I'm gonna

25:13

follow you. Yeah. Yeah. I

25:15

mean, that's in the Bible. That's in Genesis. Yeah.

25:18

Well, I mean, that's how. Yeah. I

25:20

mean, this is, This is something that's firm. It's like a

25:22

mind control juice. Don't get me started. Yeah. Yeah.

25:26

Tiffany, you and I are, that one

25:28

over there is cringing over

25:30

there. Are you gonna have to

25:33

bleep out sperm? No,

25:36

I think you can say firm. You can say sperm. We've

25:38

said it three times now. Okay. Firm.

25:41

And it's not even the Donald Trump crime. Wait,

25:44

no, Tiffany, you and I are pretty close in age. We're from, as

25:46

you like to call it, the 1900s. Yeah, we're

25:48

from, so everybody here is from a life. Yeah,

25:50

yeah, yeah. But we often look at how different

25:52

life looks over our decades. What do you think

25:54

kids today are missing out on? Oh, they're missing

25:56

out on, first of all, I haven't seen no

25:58

kids with no, full of

26:00

books. They missing out, I think

26:02

they weaker. Yeah, okay, cause they're

26:05

not carrying encyclopedias, they don't even know what

26:07

an encyclopedia is. Oh, okay.

26:10

Like they don't know how to use reference cards

26:12

in the library, you remember? They go see the

26:14

reference. Did you exactly what they did? They

26:17

don't know nothing about doing. Yeah, they don't

26:19

know nothing about that. They don't know, also

26:21

like from what I understand in California anyways,

26:23

there used to be a requirement where you

26:25

had to run a mile in order, you

26:27

had to run a mile. Yeah,

26:29

they pushed us, all this stuff, J.F.K. implemented this

26:32

whole thing, this workout program, and now these

26:34

kids don't have to do it, and they

26:36

like, I'm concerned for our future,

26:38

really, because they can't carry books, they can

26:41

type really fast with their thumbs, they got

26:43

strong thumbs and strong, the

26:46

weak forearm, strong thumbs, weak

26:48

forearms, they all gonna have carpal tunnel of

26:50

the thumb, I'm concerned. Tiffany,

26:53

I don't know if they gonna know how to defend us,

26:55

if right, because it's a success. Bring

26:58

your own thumbs to the game. Yeah,

27:00

I have to bring your own.

27:02

Tiffany, I have to ask, so it's prom

27:05

season, high schoolers are getting ready, but you,

27:07

I understand, are throwing an adult prom. Can

27:09

you tell us about that? Yes, so

27:12

first of all, my foundation is She Ready

27:14

Foundation, we're doing our gala this year, and

27:16

this year, in order to raise funds to help

27:19

these foster youth, because that's what we do, we

27:21

focus on foster youth, especially emancipated youth, keep them

27:23

off the streets, and get them life

27:25

skills and all this, so

27:27

we're doing a fundraiser, and that is the prom,

27:29

the adult prom, and I started doing the adult

27:32

prom, because I met so many people in this

27:34

industry, especially in Hollywood, that never got to go

27:36

to prom, and then even outside of this industry,

27:38

corporate people and whatnot, they never got to go

27:41

to prom, because maybe they couldn't go with the

27:43

person they wanted, nobody asked them, they didn't think

27:45

it was worth going to, and I feel like they

27:47

missed out, because prom for me was fun, I went

27:49

to three. Of course

27:51

you did. That's

27:54

one of them right there. Oh,

27:56

you're beautiful. Look at your face.

27:58

I'm not that fancy. We're going

28:00

to go and come back with more with

28:02

are back with the fabulous Tiffany Haddish, and

29:13

I don't know if you all know this.

29:15

It's Teacher Appreciation Week. And

29:19

one of

29:24

the things that stood out in your book is

29:26

the fact that you write about your

29:28

high school drama teacher, Mrs.

29:31

Grebe, who you say had a

29:33

huge impact on your life. Can you tell us what

29:35

you meant by that? Mrs.

29:37

Grebe used to be the funnest teacher,

29:40

and she figured out that I couldn't

29:42

read really. I

29:46

was very good at hiding and masking and

29:48

pretending, and she figured out that I couldn't

29:51

do it very well, barely

29:53

at all. So she would have me

29:55

come to her class during lunch and

29:57

nutrition, which was like that 15-minute break,

30:00

read to her and she would give me

30:02

like magazine or a newspaper and she would like

30:04

sit with me to read. And

30:07

yeah, she basically, by the end of the semester, I

30:10

was like reading, like and then I started

30:12

reading books and stuff and picking out things.

30:14

Yeah. Disney,

30:16

that's such a powerful story. Since

30:19

you've seen her, did you ever have a chance

30:21

to tell her that? Yeah, I mean, on Facebook,

30:23

we've been on Facebook and she's like living the

30:25

best life. I'm like, I wanna live this great

30:28

place. Touching giraffes. I'm

30:30

looking all happy and still got

30:32

our husband and everything. She

30:35

didn't have it. I used to always, I know I used to

30:37

get on our next, because I used to say, who you dating,

30:39

Ms. Green? Who you dating? It

30:41

gets so happy today, you must got a

30:43

man. You

30:46

haven't told her in person, just Facebook yet. Just

30:48

Facebook and then on, I called her one time

30:51

and we talked about it, but yeah. Well, sounds

30:53

like a thank you so much. Sounds like a

30:55

reunion's a little overdue. I think so. Welcome, Ms.

30:57

Green. Thank you. Yes.

31:22

I can feel, yeah. Oh,

31:25

yeah, we got a cherry. Thank you, Cara.

31:29

Great girl. Let's see. I love it.

31:36

Oh, my goodness. She brought me this book. We

31:38

did this play all in the timing. Yes.

31:41

And, oh, my goodness, I was one of

31:43

the monkeys, right? Monkey. See,

31:45

no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil.

31:48

And I was speaking every time. So Tiffany

31:51

is... Oh, my goodness. What

31:54

you got? Oh, wow. This

31:57

is my first time getting professional makeup done by a...

32:00

Another 10th grader. Oh wow. Oh

32:02

no, she was a senior. She

32:04

was my professional, she was a senior, I was

32:06

in 10th grade, but yeah. Oh. Well

32:08

yeah. It's been 25 years since you've

32:11

seen each other and Whoopi writes in her back. I

32:14

think I had a mustache back in it. That's

32:16

all right, it falls out.

32:18

This is why I thought I had a

32:20

prostate, because I had a mustache back. Whoopi,

32:23

it falls out and then

32:25

in menopause, it comes back.

32:28

Yeah. Whoopi writes in her

32:30

book that you should never

32:32

leave anything unsaid. So it's been 25 years.

32:35

What would you like to say to Ms. Greed? I

32:39

feel like I said it before, but I'll say it

32:41

again. Thank you so much for being patient with me.

32:44

Thank you so much for always encouraging me

32:46

and taking time with me and

32:49

listening to me. And you

32:52

have no idea, like during that time I

32:54

was really struggling a lot and you was

32:56

like the most consistent, constant

32:58

thing in my world next to my grandma.

33:01

And I'm so grateful for you. I'm so

33:03

glad I got majors. And

33:05

thank you so much for being kind. You

33:18

too? Hey y'all. We

33:21

out, I'm just laying over here. Well okay, girl.

33:24

Mrs. Greed, you told one of our producers

33:26

that once Tiffany learned to read, she entered

33:28

a drama contest with a reading from the

33:30

Midsummer Nightstream and she won first place. And

33:32

we also know it's one of your favorite

33:34

plays. So we wanted to gift you a

33:36

limited edition leather bound copy and just thank

33:38

you for keeping it. Thank you. Great

33:47

playing. She was great in it. I

33:50

still remember it, want me to do it? Okay. She

33:56

had me play every character. Remember,

33:58

you had me play every character. And

34:00

now you know how to do it. I do

34:02

know how to do it. Yes you do. Yes.

34:04

See, it's great teachers. You never know your

34:07

effect on a student. If

34:10

you're a teacher sitting out there, thank

34:12

you for everything you do. Mrs.

34:16

King, you like many other teachers change

34:18

so many people's lives and we thank

34:20

you. And Tiffany, we always

34:22

love having you here. The book is

34:25

called I Coise You with Joy and

34:28

it is out today and you're reading it. Are you

34:30

not for an honorable? Yes, I was in the audiobook

34:32

and there's a little something special at the end of the

34:34

audiobook and I can't wait to finish

34:36

your book with you. I'm sorry for the

34:39

body of God. I thought you'd like it.

34:41

Yes. I thought you'd like it.

34:43

We have a lot in common more than we realized.

34:45

But it's a, you know, our mothers

34:47

are our mothers. They are the

34:49

people who love us and they are the people who try

34:52

to love us and sometimes they just do the best they

34:54

can. Yeah. Get

34:56

the book, you'll enjoy it. And we'll be

34:58

right back. In

35:15

support of Stream 3 Week, I'm joined

35:17

by the president of Tony's US, Christophe Brzez,

35:19

who is here to share some great tips

35:22

and activities that kids can enjoy away from

35:24

the screen. Welcome. Thank

35:27

you so much. Now, this hits

35:29

home for me because as a parent of

35:31

three young kids, I

35:33

worry a lot about their screen time and

35:35

the impact that can have. So how is

35:37

the Screen 3 Week addressing these issues? Yeah,

35:40

absolutely. And thank you for having me. I'm

35:42

very pleased. You

35:44

know, I mean, as a dad, I worry about screen

35:46

time too. You know? And

35:48

did you know the CDC recommends not

35:51

more than one hour of screen time

35:53

per day for kids two to 12?

35:56

I worry a lot of kids have much more than

35:58

that. I think they do. Yes, and even

36:00

if we're very intentional on

36:03

what they watch or which games

36:05

they play, it's the time that

36:07

matters. It interrupts their sleep, it

36:09

hinders their social skills, and ultimately

36:11

impacts their emotional wellbeing. Now,

36:13

what are some fun ways we can encourage kids to

36:15

go screen free? Yeah, so my boys are three

36:17

and nine, lot of energy, and so I better,

36:19

if I wanna take the screens away, I better

36:21

come up with something that really works. I have

36:23

three things for you. So

36:25

first one, we go outside. We play hoops,

36:27

we ride a bike, or walk the dog.

36:30

But most important, I need to be in

36:32

it. Not just walk to the park and

36:34

watch them. Bonus points, if I leave my

36:36

phone at home or put it on airplane

36:38

mode. Totally. Right. Then the

36:40

second one, we love to build, actually, Lego

36:42

towers. Oh, we do the towers, too.

36:44

Yeah, so my dad saw that with me. He's

36:46

an architect, like, 40 years ago, and here's how

36:48

it works. Everybody builds a tower as high as

36:51

they can, and then we take our

36:53

three towers and stack them on top of each other

36:55

and see if we can reach the ceiling. And

36:58

so it's so much fun. It's creative problem

37:00

solving, and most important, it's teamwork. Okay. And

37:03

then, my third one is, we all know

37:05

it, after

37:08

school, we like to give them

37:10

some episodes to watch while we do the

37:12

meal prep. But how about we do a

37:14

family cook-off? I love to make meals with

37:16

them. When the kids, you know, they try

37:18

to chop the veggies or. Let them have

37:21

a knife? Well, yes, they're these really Montessori

37:23

knives. Oh, wait, they're Montessori too, yeah, okay. Yeah,

37:25

the Montessori knives, I mean, even my three and a half

37:27

year old, I mean, you know, the

37:29

paprika doesn't look always pretty, but he gets

37:32

through that, you know? And then, you know,

37:34

over their little hands, they put the toppings

37:36

on the salad, you know? And the best

37:38

thing is, is they co-create the meal. Yep.

37:41

They're more likely to eat it. Yeah, prices are likely to have

37:43

to eat it. Okay, now, Christophe, you work

37:45

with our sponsor, Tony's. These are

37:47

great screen-free entertainment systems for kids, which I've

37:49

seen these before. Tell us about them and

37:52

how they work. Absolutely. So

37:54

Tony's is an immersive audio

37:56

storytelling experience for children three and

37:59

up. Okay. You know, and it

38:01

really inspires the imagination. You know,

38:03

it encourages independent play and

38:06

sparks critical thinking in ways that

38:08

screens simply can't do. So

38:10

how does it work? It gets to life in

38:13

the moment where you pair any of those figurines

38:15

and you see where from Elsa over Daniel Tiger

38:18

and even Cookie Monster. And

38:20

you know, let me show this. So you

38:22

put Cookie Monster on top here. Hiya, it's

38:24

me Cookie Monster. Oh. Me

38:26

play date. Oh me can't wait

38:28

to play with you. What's your name?

38:31

And then, you know, in the moment

38:33

you take it off, it stops. And

38:35

you can put any other character on

38:37

and it plays songs, music. We have

38:39

a total of 300 different characters, you

38:41

know. So movies, stories,

38:43

songs, but also STEM

38:45

and mindfulness, Tony. Oh,

38:48

I love the mindfulness. And when I

38:50

gave the Tony Box to my youngest

38:52

son, Apollo, it quickly became his brightest

38:54

possession. Tony Box goes everywhere. Even on

38:56

vacation. And like him, there are

38:58

more than a million children in America that use

39:01

the Tony Box every day for more than 30

39:03

minutes. That's a lot of screen time save.

39:05

That is, absolutely. Thank you so much for

39:07

these tips. And our thanks
