When Tiffany Haddish made Grammy history in March, becoming the only the second Black woman to win for Best Comedy Album, after Whoopi Goldberg in 1986, it turned into a whole Moment. That's because Haddish found out while she was filming with a group of kids for her CBS series, Kids Say the Darnedest Things. Her emotional reaction to the news captivated pretty much everyone who saw it.

Now, two months later, Haddish is still feeling the power of that moment. Stephen Colbert returned to the viral clip when Haddish appeared alongside Billy Crystal on A Late Show to support their new movie, Here Today. As the camera cut back to the Grammy winner's video call she was in (joyful) tears once again.

The segment also includes some very sweet chatter about Haddish's relationship with Crystal, who played a pivotal role in her recent Bat Mitzvah ceremony.
