Tiffany Haddish Revisits DUI Joke Following Incident of Being Found Asleep at the Wheel

Tiffany Haddish Brings Back DUI Joke in Standup Set After Recent Arrest

Amidst the aftermath of her recent DUI arrest, Tiffany Haddish returned to the stage at the Laugh Factory’s Long Beach club and, true to her comedic style, recycled an old joke about the incident. The "Girls Trip" actor, who was booked on suspicion of DUI after being found asleep at the wheel of her stalled vehicle on Beverly Drive, entertained the audience with a punchline reminiscent of her 2022 DUI arrest in Georgia.

Responding to an audience member's inquiry about the previous night, Haddish humorously deflected, saying, "You tell me." She then weaved in the punchline, "I prayed to God to send me a man with a job, a career, preferably in uniform. God answered my prayers." This joke mirrored a line she used after her 2022 DUI arrest in Peachtree City, Georgia, where police found her driving into a neighborhood while asleep at the wheel.

During a remote interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" weeks after the Georgia incident, Haddish had shared a similar sentiment, stating, "Well, I can say this Jimmy. I've been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four in a uniform."

As Haddish gears up for her court appearance in December for the Georgia DUI case, her return to humor about the recent arrest showcases her ability to find levity in challenging situations. The recycled joke becomes a quirky signature in addressing incidents from her life, resonating with her distinctive comedic style.
