The comedic dynamic duo took the stage sans the high heels they were wearing earlier; Haddish sported a pair of Ugg slippers with the Alexander McQueen dress that she famously wore to both the _Girls Trip_ premiere and her _Saturday Night Live_ hosting gig, while Rudolph opted to go barefoot. The pair humorously tackled everything from their uncomfortable shoes to the lack of racial diversity at awards show, even referencing the [#OscarsSoWhite](http://time.com/4645315/oscar-nominations-2017-diversity/) campaign. “When we came out together, we knew some of you were thinking, ‘Are the Oscars too black?'” Haddish joked. Rudolph’s rejoinder was quick and equally humorous: “Don’t worry. There are so many white people to come!” “So many! We just came from backstage and there are tons of them back there!” Haddish said. “And not just movie stars—there are white people walking around with headsets, white people with clipboards. Now, I’m personally not a fan of white people with clipboards, because I’m always wondering what are they writing down about me?” Needless to say, the Internet was in love with this new comedic pairing and took to social media to petition that they host next year’s show. > [](https://twitter.com/poniewozik/status/970497219576127488) > [](https://twitter.com/pronounced%5Fing/status/970498241841258502) > [](https://twitter.com/Joypress/status/970497251784114177) > [](https://twitter.com/jsmooth995/status/970497181038858240) > [](https://twitter.com/michelledean/status/970497556684795904) And if Tiffany Haddish has her way, it might become a reality! > [](https://twitter.com/THRMattBelloni/status/970530010602782720) Some pointed out that this dynamic duo shouldn’t be limited to just the Oscars. > [](https://twitter.com/carolineframke/status/970497198369755136) > [](https://twitter.com/Travon/status/970500422363328512) > [](https://twitter.com/AlannaBennett/status/970496777924370438) > [](https://twitter.com/louisvirtel/status/970496926524194818) > [](https://twitter.com/sbstryker/status/970499068316155904) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5185849/tiffany-haddish-maya-rudolph-oscars-reactions/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5185849/tiffany-haddish-maya-rudolph-oscars-reactions/"},"headline":"The Internet Has All the Proof That Tiffany Haddish and Maya Rudolph Need to Host the Oscars","datePublished":"2018-03-05T17:20:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:41.274Z","description":"Tiffany and Maya forever","url":"https://time.com/5185849/tiffany-haddish-maya-rudolph-oscars-reactions/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Oscars 2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt930a2cd2f497ff22/698929a4fb4eac85f7895e6f/internet-wants-maya-rudolph-tiffany-haddish-to-host-oscars.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt930a2cd2f497ff22/698929a4fb4eac85f7895e6f/internet-wants-maya-rudolph-tiffany-haddish-to-host-oscars.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"90th Annual Academy Awards - Show","caption":"90th Annual Academy Awards - Show","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5185849/tiffany-haddish-maya-rudolph-oscars-reactions/","name":"The Internet Has All the Proof That Tiffany Haddish and Maya Rudolph Need to Host the Oscars"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Tiffany and Maya forever","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5185849/tiffany-haddish-maya-rudolph-oscars-reactions/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5185849/tiffany-haddish-maya-rudolph-oscars-reactions/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
