She ready – ready to host that is. ABC has picked up a new version of the classic variety show “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” hosted and executive produced by Tiffany Haddish. The reimagined format showcases a mix of in-studio segments and taped pieces from across the country, all set in front of a live studio audience.
“Kids Say the Darndest Things” will air Sundays at 8:00 p.m. EDT during ABC’s fall prime-time schedule, a solid three-hour block of programming, starting with “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at 7:00 p.m. EDT and continuing with “Shark Tank” at 9:00 p.m. EDT.
Each episode highlights the comedic perspectives of a diverse group of kids in segments, such as “Kids Rule,” in which kids explain to Tiffany the rules for everything from sportsmanship to dating; “Love Talk,” where Tiffany seeks advice on her love life; “Best Carpool Ever,” with Tiffany taking on carpool duty with a minivan full of kids; “Granny Tiff,” when Tiffany, in prosthetics and dressed up as an older woman, receives technology advice from the kids; and more.
“I’m excited to hear what kids have to say these days because I can’t understand what they are saying on social media,” said Haddish. “They’re using too many abbreviations!”
“When I was dreaming of stars I wanted to bring to ABC, Tiffany Haddish was top of my list,” said Karey Burke, president, ABC Entertainment. “Tiffany starring in and producing this iconic series is everything I hoped for.”
