- Are you ready?

(audience cheering)

This season, these comics are veterans,

they are professionals at tickling the soul,

and I wanna give them the kind of shine that they deserve.

Welcome to "They Ready: Season Two."

Godfrey, ladies and gentlemen! (audience cheers)

- I love performing, I love creating.

I'm Nigerian, okay, but people question me.

Every time I'm on stage I'm like,

"Yeah, that's why I'm here."

They want us to be like, "Hello, everybody.

I am happy to be here." (audience laughing)

- [Tiffany] Erin Jackson! (audience cheers)

- You have to be a different kind of woman to do comedy.

A girl I went to school with just started doing porn.

I wouldn't change a thing, I'm here.

Which is not a thing I thought

you could start doing in your 40s,

but go 'head, girl, if they're hiring.

(audience laughs)

- [Tiffany] Tony Woods! (audience cheers)

- All my life people said I was funny.

What's the first thing you think about with a kangaroo?

Is its pouch.

- Every great comedian that I know

always pays homage to you.

- Imagine the best thing

about your outfit is your pouch, right?

But your arms are too short.

You say, "Hey, man, get my keys out."

(audience laughs)

- [Tiffany] Kimberly Clark,

ladies and gentlemen! (audience cheers)

- There's so many great comedians out there

that never, ever get any shine.

I'm looking for comfortable shoes

that won't make me look like a biblical character.

It's really difficult. (audience laughs)

When Tiffany called me, I was like, "Wow."

You got birth control shoes.

(audience laughs)

- [Tiffany] Barbara Carlyle! (audience cheers)

- Been doing comedy for 44 years.

I forgot I was married one day.

Rolled over and said,

"Do you know you need to get up and go home?"

(audience laughs)

Life, for me, ain't been no crystal stair.

A lot of good looking people in the house tonight.

- [Audience] Woo!

- A lot of ugly motherfuckers in here too.

(audience laughs)

- [Tiffany] Dean Edwards! (audience cheers)

- I'm big on manifestation.

I made a recording where I said,

"I'm shooting a special in 2020."

I didn't go see "Black Panther"

initially when it first came out y'all.

And here we are,

we've just breathed it into existence.

All these Black people in this movie,

I couldn't get no audition

for none of the roles in this movie?

Goddamn. (audience laughs)

- It's gon' be off the chain.

- L.A., what's up?

- Tiffany Haddish rocks!

- Kinda dumb, ain't you?

- I got you.

- This gon' be funny.

- Thank you so much.

- Are you ready?

(audience cheering)

(upbeat music)

This season, I purposely made sure everybody was Black,

because I'm Black.

Was that too much? I'm sorry.
