Haddish would later on realize how much making others laugh meant to her.

Haddish received rave reviews from her opening monologue. Jokingly, she did not forget thank the audience and viewers for paying taxes from 1990-1999, because she says she wouldn't be where she is. At 37 years old, she finally accomplished something she dreamed of when she was in foster care. She has officially become a giant that many black girls will stand on the shoulders of.
