Tiffany Haddish Killed a Guy at a Bar Mitzvah but It's Not What It Sounds Like
TIffany Haddish knows how to throw a party. We aren't talking about the time someone bit Beyoncé on the face at a Haddish-hosted event (well, we aren't just talking about that). Apparently she's been able to kick parties to a new, borderline violent level for quite some time now, and on Friday, she told Jimmy Fallon about when she used to work as a bar mitzvah "energy producer," which is about what it sounds like. It was her job to get the crowd pumped up.
Sometimes that involved giving really high energy commands to the crowd: "Get up, put them lox down, it's time to dance!" And sometimes that involves getting more hands-on and setting the tone yourself, like when she started dancing on one older gentleman in particular:
He had to be in his 80s. And I'm dancing and dancing, he's smiling and everything, and I turned around on him and I look at the people's faces in front of me, and their faces were going like this [big smile] and then went [prompts drops into-open-mouthed concern]. And I was like, "What?" and I turned around and he was on the ground on his back.
Haddish says he was rushed to the hospital and didn't make it. "I didn't wanna dance no more, I felt like this ass is deadly." After the man's daughter assured her right before he died was they happiest they'd seen him in a long time, she eventually went back to work and lasted another six years. So in total, Tiffany Haddish, one of the hottest comedians right now, spent over a decade working as a bar mitzvah energy producer.
"There's probably a lot of footage of me, killing it at the mitzvahs."
So, the whole story may strain belief just a little bit. But that last line definitely sounds 100 percent true.
