*In addition to winning the entirety of 2017, the Tiffany Haddish train has no signs of slowing down in 2018 – and it’s only February.
Fresh from being surprised by her idol Oprah Winfrey on “Ellen” this week, the comedian announced via Instagram that she has been tapped to host the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards to be held on June 18 at 9 p.m. ET.
This year’s nominees and categories will be announced at a later date. Last year, MTV replaced the best actor and best actress categories with non-gendered distinctions — best actor in a movie and best actor in a show — along with longtime fan favorite categories like best kiss, best hero, and best villain.
In recent months, Haddish’s She Ready production company inked a two-year first-look deal with HBO, she’s been cast in Netflix’s upcoming animated series “Tuca and Bertie” (from the team that created “BoJack Horseman”) and she won New York Film Critics Circle best supporting actress award for her performance in 2017’s “Girls Trip.”
Her book “The Last Black Unicorn” was named a New York Times bestseller, and her stand-up special “Tiffany Haddish: She Ready!” premiered on Showtime last year. She was also the first black stand-up comedian to host “Saturday Night Live,” which she did to rave reviews.
Haddish is set to star opposite Tracy Morgan in the TBS sitcom “The Last OG” and alongside Kevin Hart in Universal’s “Night School,” hitting theaters later this year.
