I would put my phone on voice memo, put it in my bag, do my audition, walk out the room, leave my bag, come back and be like, ‘Oh I forgot my purse,’ get my purse, get in the car and listen,” she revealed, as fellow panelists Maya Rudolph, Jane Fonda, Regina Hall, Phoebe Waller Bridge, Natasha Lyonne and Alex Borstein yelped and laughed in surprise.“They’d be like, ‘She’s not as urban as I thought she’d be,’ ” Haddish continued, quoting the things she would hear. “Or they’d be like, ‘She’s so ghetto, I just can’t. Her boobs aren’t big enough. I really think we should just go with a white girl. This role should be changed to white.’ ”“Wait, how many rooms did you leave it in?” Rudolph asked in surprise.“A lot. A lot. It was like my M.O.,” Haddish said, later adding. “I wanna hear so that I can grow. Also so I can write jokes about it, I can use it to my advantage…It helped me in the long run. I mean, sometimes it hurt my feelings. Sometimes, I was like, ‘Damn, what a bitch, I’m never going back in there again.'”Haddish won an Emmy in 2018 for her hosting work onSaturday Night Live and is up for Emmy contention for her role inThe Last O.G. with Tracy Morgan. But the jokingly actress admitted in the panel that she would have turned the role down if it had come after her breakout success in 2017.“Girls Triphadn’t come out yet when I took that job. If I’d known it was going to make all this money, I would have been like, ‘I’m sorry, guys, I am going to do my own show. I’m going to doHollywood and Haddish,’ ” Haddish joked.
