Tiffany Haddish joked that she had been praying for a new man after her recent split when four in uniform showed up during a remote appearance Monday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC.
The 42-year-old comedian, dressed in a blue jumpsuit, was booked on the talk show before her breakup with rapper Common, 49, and her recent arrest for investigation of drunken driving in Georgia.
Jimmy, 47, noted that she could have cancelled but she insisted on being a pro and going on the show. He then asked her if she could talk about anything that happened.

'Well, I can say this Jimmy,' she said. 'I've been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four in a uniform.'
She added: 'I wasn't expecting that at all. Now I got a really great lawyer and we are going to work it out. I've got to get my asking of things to God a little better.'
Jimmy said he learned that it was a tough week for her because she lost people that she was very close to.
'Yeah, one of our mutual friends Bob Saget who was like a big mentor to me, a big brother, father figure. He meant a lot to me,' she said. 'Funny man. He was the first white man to ever tell me, ''Just be yourself. Just be who you are Tiffany, don't worry about nothing just be you'' and that was huge for me.'

Tiffany said that her grandmother also recently passed away and that 'she saved my life.' She said she was like her soulmate and that it had been 'really hard to process all this grief.'
Jimmy told her that it would get better and that it took a lot of guts for her to come on his show. Jimmy said she should take this and make something out of it. She said she would.
'My next special is going to be about grief and it's going to be hilarious,' said Tiffany.

He told her to do another special and win another Grammy. Jimmy then congratulated her on winning her recent Grammy. Jimmy said a Grammy was a really cool award out of all of them. Tiffany agreed.
'You can drink out of it,' she said.
Tiffany said she remembered the first time she was nominated for her audiobook.

'You could get a Grammy for reading out loud,' said Tiffany. 'I called my drama teacher immediately, my high school drama teacher who taught me how to read and I was like ''Girl, you did a good job''.'
Jimmy then asked her about her comment that she wanted to make 80 films by the time she was age 50. She said she didn't want to be in all of them just to be part of their movie making process. She said if she was part of 80 films that she would feel that she was an official entertainer.
Jimmy said he saw her new movie After Party coming soon on Apple TV and asked her what was the best after party she had ever been to in her life. She said it would have to be Jay-Z and Beyonce's gold party after the Oscars.

'That is the best party I have ever been to,' she said. 'First of all, good music. Good food. And there is something about you dancing, eating on some fries and you look over and there goes Rihanna. Hey hey Lupita what's up girl. Ah Leonardo, what's going on Leonardo. .. Beyonce dancing with me.'
She said 'most people would be intimidated to dance next to Beyonce but I feel like Beyonce is intimidated dancing next to me because I got the moves. I can kill it on the dance floor.'
Since her new show After Hours begins at a high school reunion, Jimmy asked her if she went to hers. She said yes.

Paris Hilton also appeared on the show wearing a lime green long sleeve dress with sparkly gloves on her hands. Jimmy started off by showing photos of Paris' wedding and she said she loved her Oscar de la Renta gown.
He asked her what went wrong because something always goes wrong at weddings.

'It was magical. It was everything,' said the 40-year-old heiress. 'I think the only thing I was stressing out about was that I hadn't written my vows up until I was about to walk down the aisle.'
Paris said she was rushing and it was very stressful. He asked her what she ended up saying. She said she just threw
