00:00Oh, she ready alright. From our latest cover to the MTV Movie and TV Awards stage,

00:13it's no surprise that Tiffany Haddish brought major laughs during her opening monologue

00:18at the awards show on Monday night. The host kicked off the ceremony with a sketch that took

00:22us to Wakanda and put Haddish right in the middle of the Black Panther challenge scene,

00:26where she went head-to-head with T'Challa for the throne. She was even joined by her own tribe,

00:31aka fellow Girls Trip stars Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith. But instead of transforming

00:35into Black Panther after defeating the prince, the magical purple drink turned Haddish into

00:40the last black unicorn. Plus, there was an unexpected and awesome throw to TLC's Waterfalls.

00:50Then the comedian finally took the stage where she showed off her rapping skills,

00:54moving straight into a parody version of Cardi B's Bodak Yellow, which notably featured

00:58a special shout-out to Michael B. Jordan.

01:24in the audience, including Zendaya, who she says taught her how to model, while Haddish

01:28taught her how to do a special trick from Girls Trip. And of course, she couldn't forget

01:33the Kardashians.

01:40A new one's always popping up.

01:42Haddish also called out Seth Rogen, aka her favorite bearded white man since

01:46Abraham Lincoln, Jonah's brother Nick Jonas, and the cast of both Riverdale and Stranger Things.
