Taraji P. Henson Slaps the Hell Out of SNL's Taran Killam in New Promo

Oscar-nominated national treasure and the air we all breathe, Taraji P. Henson, will host Saturday Night Live this week meaning Empire's Cookie Lyon will most likely make a show-stealing appearance -- as she is wont to do.

Cookie comes out, as does a glimpse of Henson's comic skills, when the actress shows Taran Killam how to get in touch with his inner Mama Lyon.

Of course, that's only after slapping the living daylights out of him for asking questions he won't like the answers to.

Just ease a dumptruck of Emmys into her front yard and unload all the trophies now.
