What Will Happen When Taraji P. Henson Hosts Saturday Night Live?
Who will be ordered to kick rocks?!
E! personalities Giuliana Rancic (Cecily Strong) and Ross Mathews (Bobby Moynihan) co-anchor the network's coverage of the White House Correspondents Dinner, asking confused politicians entering the event about their outfits.
Host Taraji P. Henson tries to talk about the whirlwind her life has been in the months since Empire premiered, only to be interrupted by a succession of cast members wanting her to insult them in the style of her Empire character, Cookie Lyon.
A shopper (Vanessa Bayer) is confused when the two clerks walking past her dressing room (Henson and Kate McKinnon) give her completely opposite feedback on how she looks in the outfits she's trying on.
A group of firefighters with non-beefcake physiques (Moynihan, Pete Davidson, and Kyle Mooney) show up for their annual calendar shoot with some ideas about shaking up the format that don't involve them showing off their bodies.
Because Cookie Lyon has become such a breakout character on Empire, Fox shows how her character will be integrated not just in its own other series, like New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but how they've loaned her out to other networks' shows, from Criminal Minds to Mad Men.
A panel of African-American political pundits subject President Obama to some tough scrutiny on How's He Doing?.
A parade of grubby weirdos comes forward to a laundromat patron (Bayer) to claim the items they threw into her loads when she wasn't looking.

California governor Jerry Brown (Beck Bennett) offers increasingly impractical water-rationing advice to state residents, in light of its drought; Peter Dinklage (as himself) tells Game Of Thrones fans the things he no longer wants to hear from them when he meets them out in public.
A sexologist (Henson) leading a self-help seminar seems unable to offer any strategies for keeping relationships alive other than anal sex.

Two former porn stars (Bayer and Strong) star in a spec commercial for Bentley automobiles, and joined midway through by one of their former colleagues, Cinnamon (Henson).
People wave goodbye, hug.
