We may have just found Oprah's biggest fan!

The beloved media mogul gave funny lady Tiffany Haddish the surprise of her life on Thursday's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show—and the Girls' Trip star pretty much lost her mind after meeting Lady O.

Oprah shared a photo of the encounter with her 13 million fans and wrote, "Look who I just surprised @theellenshow. @tiffanyhaddish watch."

Tiffany clearly couldn't contain her excitement, she reposted Oprah's Instagram not one, not two, but three times!

The actress even admitted she cried tears of joy at the encounter in a VERY excited caption.

The 38-year-old wrote, "SO JUST SO YALL KNOW I POSTED IT THREE TIMES BECAUSE I AM THAT DAMN HAPPY! YES! YES! YES I CRIED AND YES I ASKED HER TO BE MY AUNTIE! SO ALL THANKS BE TO GOD FOR ALWAYS COMING THRU YOU HEAR MY PRAYS AND ANSWER ACCORDINGLY AMEN!"

Tiffany Haddish's Career Firsts

During Thursday's appearance, Tiffany told Ellen DeGeneres about the first and only time she met her idol, which was on the set of a film.

"I did this movie called Their Eyes Were Watching God and I was an extra and it was a movie that Oprah was producing," the 38-year-old said.

"She had walked by and I was making all the other extras laugh… She said, 'You’re a very funny young lady.' I was like [eeeee!] and she said, 'What’s your name?’ I said, ‘My name is Tiffany Haddish, and I’m a stand-up comedian.'"

Tiffany continued her story, "She said, ‘Well, keep me updated on your career, write me, let me know what you got going on,'"

She added, "I left comedy, I said, ‘Oh yeah, I know, I know.' And so, I would write her, right? She never wrote back."

That's when Ellen couldn't help herself saying, "Let's ask her why she didn’t write back. Oprah, why didn’t you write back?"

And out came Oprah!

Tune in tomorrow to see the rest of the encounter.
