ACTRESS and comedian Tiffany Haddish’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live is going viral after the Girls Trip star took aim at men that sexually harass women.
Following comedian Louis C.K.’s admission that he masturbated in front of at least five female comics, funnywoman Haddish offered some advice to any man who thinks doing that is OK.
“We’ve been talking about the whole sexual harassment stuff that’s been going on, and look here, okay, guys? Fellas, I got a tip for y’all,” Haddish said.
“I like to call it Tiffany’s tips — it’s a Tiff tip.

“Wait till she takes off her own clothes, then pull your thing-thing out, okay?”
The burn seemed especially directed at Louis C.K., who confirmed “the stories are true” in response to the accounts given to the New York Times that he stripped naked and masturbated in front of several different women.
A Chicago comedy duo, Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov, allege they were invited to Louis C.K.’s hotel room for a nightcap during a 2002 Colorado comedy festival. The pair assumed the meeting would be “collegial.”
Once inside his hotel room, the women say C.K. asked if he could take out his penis. They laughed it off as a joke.
“And then he really did it,” Goodman told the New York Times.
“He proceeded to take all of his clothes off, and get completely naked, and started masturbating.”
The pair described being “paralysed” from shock, and both fled the room after C.K. had ejaculated.
SNL referenced the Hollywood sexual harassment crisis several times throughout the episode. Colin Jost joked on the Weekend Update segment “Well, it’s a good weekend to stay inside since it’s [minus six] degrees out and everyone you’ve ever heard of is a sex monster” as photos of C.K., Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein and Moore flashed on the screen
In another skit, cast member Beck Bennett in character as America’s uber-conservative Vice President Mike Pence said “Even I heard about Louis C.K. and I’m not allowed to watch TV. I’m only allowed to listen to it.”
