Cookie Monsters Set Your DVR, Taraji P. Henson To Host ‘SNL’

Fans of FOX’s ‘Empire’ may be currently going through withdrawals since the show’s season finale last week, but there may be a temporary cure. It was just announced this week that for the first time Taraji P. Henson will be hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ on April 11.

The announcement was made via the SNL twitter page and Taraji later shared her excitement over the news as well as her costar and friend Jussie Smollett.

We are sure Taraji will do amazing and hopefully we will get a few ‘Empire’ spoofs. Be sure to tune in on April 11 on NBC at 11:30/10:30C.
