The now-viral clip from behind the scenes captures Haddish bringing all her trademark chaotic energy to CBS Mornings as she teased her fellow co-host Nate Burleson. The network posted the reel on Instagram along with the caption “@nateburleson, you up for the challenge? 👀” and while viewers observed the madness that unfolded, hundreds of comments popped up.

The clip shows Haddish buzzing with excitement and ready to go up against Burleson while producers tried to restore some semblance of order into events. She says, “Whatchu wanna do, playa?” and was met with laughter, while a voice goes, “No no! Not now. We have a segment!” Then it cuts to Burleson looking equally fearful and confused by what this woman was going to do.
Reaction came flooding into the comment section from the fans! One commenter seized on the iconic phrase and wrote: “‘Whatchu wanna do, playa?’ Took me out! Go ahead Miss Tiffany!” A second friend laughed about Burleson saying, “He didn’t want no smoke 😂😂😂.” The vibes were so infectious that Gayle King gave a shock in the side eye that sparked a comment: “Gayle looking like what in the hell 😂.”
Leaving a lifelong imprint was Haddish staying true to herself even on live TV. “You got to always be yourself no matter what status or level,” one fan wrote. “If you not yourself you are not real. Haddish keep it real.” Others marveled at her stamina: “Thought you would be exhausted this morning, I see you have more energy than the Energizer Bunny.”
Some people were having none of the jokes. A dissenting comment exploded from pipe-lining, citing Haddish’s political position: “Tiffany Haddish sounded like such a nice person until she fell for Israel’s genocide.” That comment stood out amidst waves of praise but didn’t dampen the spirit.
Spontaneity had the greater effect at the segment, further reiterating why Haddish continues to remain a huge fan favorite. Whether roasting Burleson or somehow inadvertently interfering with production, Haddish’s rawness is what turns a mundane everyday morning show moment into spectacle. There are loads of comments calling for a rematch.
