About “Kids Say the Darndest Things”
Reimagined, revived, and really funny, “Kids Say The Darndest Things” is a classic show presented by Tiffany Haddish. Based on its timeless format, Tiffany showcases her unmatched comedic talents and interacts with real kids from across the country.
This reboot version is eccentric and amusing. It’s a real joy to witness Tiffany having unrehearsed talks with kids and learning about their raw, innocent, and unfiltered opinions and perspectives about various topics — including families, religion, and the government. It really is surprising to hear some of the worldly or outlandish things that can come from the mouths of babes.
