Tiffany Haddish has had a wild year and she’s showing no signs of slowing down.

After her career took off when she stole the show in last summer’s blockbuster “Girls Trip,” the actress is gearing up to host the MTV Movie and TV Awards next week — becoming the first Black woman to do so in the show’s 27 years.

Her gig promises to be a riot. below are six of the most hilarious responses about her life she gave Maire Claire.

On the moment she felt she made it: “When I was on ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ and I licked his face and he tasted like Ovaltine. I was like, that’s success.”

On her alternate career choice: “A sex-education teacher, so I could make kids laugh. Kids would laugh and learn valuable life lessons. But not the grapefruit trick [which she demonstrated in “Girls Trip”] — that’s college level.”

On the best piece of career advise she’s gotten: Don’t let nobody in your house that ain’t got nothing to do. Maybe that’s street advice. Show up on time, treat everybody the way you want to be treated, and make sure you get your money before you leave.

On her first kiss: None of your damn business.

On the wildest thing she’s done for love: See, there you go again, all in my business. You trying to get me incarcerated.

On her epic tub — not bucket — list: “Girl, that bucket list is like a tub. It’s a tub list. I want to go to every single country. I want to buy two streets that intersect and call them Tiffany and Haddish, and I want to open a youth center, a job-training center, a mental-health department, and a whole art center there. Then when people say, “Oh my God, how did you learn to play the trumpet?” “Oh, I learned it on Tiffany and Haddish.” I want to go on a date with Michael B. Jordan. I want a fried-chicken-and-girls’ night with Michelle Obama. There’s a lot of things I want to do, girl.”
