Tiffany then went on to tell Ellen about the first time she met Oprah when she was an extra on a movie Their Eyes Were Watching God which Oprah was producing. 

"She had walked by and I was making all the other extras laugh… She said, 'You’re a very funny young lady.' I was like and she said, 'What’s your name?’ I said, ‘My name is Tiffany Haddish, and I’m a stand-up comedian.'"

Oprah then told her to keep her update with her career and to write to her, which Tiffany did but Oprah never wrote back.
