Tiffany Haddish reaction on J.Lo’s performance:
Soon after the performance ended, Tiffany Haddish stepped up to cheer on Lopez.
"How cool is it to have a total superstar like J.Lo hosting the AMAs?" Haddish, 45, asked the audience, jokingly saying this year's award should be called, "JMAs."
"Our host has just danced to 23 hits in six minutes," she continued.
Haddish added, "Just from that opening number alone, Jenny from the Block has got all her steps in for the day, and she got all her kisses in."
"Save a dancer for me, J.Lo. Damn! You ain't the only one out here single," the comedian added.
To note, Jennife Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce in January 2025 after less than two years of marriage.
