Tiffany Haddish is looking to keep that same energy from 2017 and bring it into the New Year. The comedian who had the breakout role in the movie Girls Trip and released her biography ‘The Last Black unicorn” announced Monday that she is the new spokesperson for Groupon.
For anyone who follows Tiffany Haddish, they know how big she is on Groupon. In her book, “The Last Black Unicorn,” Haddish tells the story of her first time hanging out with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith during their time in New Orleans shooting Girls Trip.
Haddish tells the story of when she used her Groupon to take a tour of a New Orleans swamp. She had originally planned to go alone, but Jada and Will insisted that they come along. At this point, Haddish had smoked marijuana and was somewhat embarrassed to be high in front of Will Smith. Nonetheless, to Will’s excitement and Jada’s discomfort, the three of them went on the swamp tour. Jada’s husband was immediately identified during the tour as well as Jada herself, whereas people did not know Haddish at the time.
She mentions Groupon a few times in this chapter and even told the hilarious full story on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live which allegedly landed her the gig with Groupon.
“Wassup Yaw!! So excited to announce that I’m the new spokesperson for Groupon! Can you believe it,” said Haddish on Instagram.
In a really tremendous story of her life, it is amazing to see how far she has come from sleeping in her Geo Metro in Los Angeles to making deals with Groupon. Haddish is currently on tour and is selling out everywhere she stops.
