If you’re missing Cookie as much as we are right now, Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson made a stop on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show to serve up some laughs to tide us over until March 30th.
Taraji and Jimmy spent the first part of the night talking about how her TV son Jussie Smollet is always trying to catch her slipping on set. She told him that “he likes being slapped by me.” We all know what it’s like to be caught cutting up by mom dukes and getting popped one time.
Henson also made sure to catch some footage of her own because there was no way she was going to go out like that. She caught Jussie dead asleep and made sure that she filmed him with his sweatpants rolled up capri style and his hairy legs showing. That’s cold.
Then the duo played what he called The Acting Game. Each of them had to impersonate a different character, speaking to someone in a specific scenario on the phone. And obviously The Tonight Show host didn’t miss a chance to ask her to bring the Cookie out. Check out how it went.
The two seemed to have a great time, playing out scenes about Cookie in space and Jimmy farting on the phone with Queen Elizabeth – pure foolishness. But, it was fun to watch. Empire is back on FOX March 30th at 9/8c.
