Need a Cookie fix? Fans of Empire rejoice! Taraji P. Henson, who plays the fierce and feisty Lyon family matriarch on the hit FOX show, is guest hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend (4/11) with musical guests, Mumford & Sons.
In the new television promos featuring cast member Taran Killam, he learns whether Taraji is anything like Cookie in real life (yep) and demonstrates his ability to perform under the pressures of live TV (not). He also has a great (terrible) idea for a new show, called Umpire. Taraji is game!

Aha. The Mumford’s are Cookie’s stepsons on Empire “The Empire is mine, mama!” Heh.
