    Tiffany Haddish felt like an "Egyptian goddess" on The Masked Singer

    The Girls Trip actress - who was unmasked as Le Who Who on Wednesday's (14.01.26) episode of the celebrity singing competition - admitted she felt "special" on the set of the reality show because she had so many people to assist her when she was in costume.


    She told Entertainment Weekly: "You know what I wanted to mention? The most interesting thing to me or the wildest thing to me, I would say, about being on The Masked Singer is I've never had so many handlers, if you will, or people around ...

    "I felt kind of like an Egyptian goddess where there was all these tall men and women standing around me with little fans hanging into the eyes of the costume.

    "They're like, somebody's walking me, and then there's somebody that's fanning me and it felt like ... I was like, is this the real Hollywood? I thought it was the wildest and strangest thing for me. And that's all I wanted to share.

    "If you want to feel special, be on The Masked Singer because you're going to get special treatment, especially if you're in that mascot uniform. "

    Tiffany couldn't help but flash the underwear of her costume because she thought her pants were so "cute" and the 46-year-old comic admitted she was transported back to childhood, when she used to do the same thing.

    She said: "Well, it was so funny when I tried it on the first time, I was like, 'This is so cute, but she don't have no panties.' And I was like, 'I don't got no panties.' And they made her some panties.

    " And I was like, 'These are so cute! I got to show everybody my panties. Everybody has to see how cute these panties are.'

    " And when I put the costume on, I felt like a kid again. I felt so young. It made me feel young again.

    "So then I kind of was reverting back to kindergarten Tiff, who every time she got to wear pretty ruffled panties, I had to show everybody like, 'You got to see these panties I have on, look!'

    "I used to get in trouble for that all the time until like second grade, to the point where my mom started buying me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday panties.

    "[She was like,] 'Okay. You going to show people what day of the week it is?' I don't know what it was about me, but if I had My Little Pony on, or I remember I got these set of She-Ra underwear, I had to show everybody.

    "And so cut to umpteen thousand years later, yeah, now I'm showing everybody Le Who Who's drawers."
