Tiffany Haddish made an in-person appearance on MondayтАЩs edition of тАЬThe Late Late ShowтАЭ, joining host James Corden for a socially distanced conversation while wearing a bedazzled plastic face-shield.
тАЬIтАЩm trusting you, IтАЩm gonna take it off, but IтАЩm keeping it close,тАЭ Haddish told Corden as she removed the mask. тАЬIf I feel any spittle coming this way тАФ shield up.тАЭ
During the conversation, Haddish shared a devious little trick she used to pull when auditioning, admitting that it тАЬprobably wasnтАЩt legal but I did it.тАЭ

As she explained, Haddish would take a small tape recorder, press record, and drop it in her purse right before entering the audition room. Following the audition, she would leave, but deliberately тАЬforgetтАЭ her purse so she could hear what was being said about her after her exit.
After 10 to 15 minutes, she would then return, claiming sheтАЩd left her bag behind accidentally. тАЬThen I go to the car, push stop, rewind, and we find out what they think.тАЭ
Corden, however, wanted to know if she had used this little trick in her personal life.

тАЬWell, you know,тАЭ she said with a chuckle, prompting Corden to ask, тАЬWhat do you mean?тАЭ
As she pointed out, she no longer needs a tape recorder because тАЬour phones hear everything, right, so sometimes I might leave the phone on voice memo record, and then I might walk out of the room, and I might just leave it there. My man might be on the phone, and then we find out what is on the phone conversation тАФ at least his side,тАЭ she explained.
тАЬAnd then I realized I wasted my battery, тАЩcause he ainтАЩt talking about nothing.тАЭ
Later, Corden and Haddish share warnings about the various side effects of getting the COVID-19 vaccine, including the ability to re-enter society тАФ but only after mastering that sourdough recipe and watching the final three seasons of тАЬThe SopranosтАЭ.
