The pairing has been a hit with viewers this week, with the Today Show’s Instagram account sharing multiple clips of their on-air moments. In one recent post from the show’s account, Haddish joined Bush Hager in interviewing “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum Sarah Michelle Gellar, where they discussed the future of the iconic franchise.
Another clip highlighted Haddish’s candid nature when she openly shared what she looks for in a partner. The Today Show captioned the moment: “Tiffany Haddish knows what she wants in a partner— and it’s kind of a win-win situation,” accompanied by a laughing emoji and the hashtag #JennaandFriends.

During another recent fashion appearance, Haddish was featured wearing designs by Grace Ling, a Fashion Trust U.S. Ready-to-Wear finalist. The post, simply captioned “She ready!” (Haddish’s signature phrase), showcased the comedian in the designer’s striking ensemble.
