    I was surprised to learn that Tiffany Haddish was the 1st black female stand up comic to host SNL. I had just assumed Wanda Sykes and Whoopi Goldberg had at some point.

    Another celeb creepotard. Line em up, her, charly sheen, pseudo-tough guy Deniro, mike farrell, madonna, johnny depp, rosie ocuntlicker, et al. They all have nothing intelligent to say, unless someone writes it on a que card. Just because they are on TV or in movies doesn’t mean they know anything about world issues. They merely have a platform. Wise up America. 400plus illegal migrants just stormed the airport in Paris and demanded citizenship. In the 1940s we would have called that an invasion. Ditto for the boarder in San Diego, El Paso, etc. Invasion!!! Time to breakout the Apache64 helos and some 30mm!!!
