Jimmy Fallon is determined to make his viewers have a fun night. In the latest episode of 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' the comedian spoofed the hit drama series of FOX 'Empire'.
In the parody which he called "Jimpire", the host played the role of Terrence Howard. He is searching for the right one to inherit his show.
Unlike the original character, Jimmy Fallon's own version of Lucious Lyon is not suffering from a chronic illness but only has a his real-life finger injury.
"I've been telling jokes since I was 9 years old in Brooklyn. It was these jokes, these funnies, these 'ha has' that kept me warm at night growing up in the streets," Jimmy told his staff in his best Terrence Howard tone.
"Well, with my finger being in the condition it is, who knows what could happen tomorrow? I could stub my toe. I could bite my tongue. I could burn the roof of my mouth on a hot microwave pizza," he explains.
With his finger injury, he needs to entrust the tonight's show to someone worthy. After discussing his points, Jimmy Fallon then started choosing for the right candidates. His Tariq, Questlove, show producer Andre and Steve Higgins.
Terrence Howard, the original Lucious Lyon then met Fallon wearing the same purple carves and turtlenecks. Howard confronted and told the TV host and actor not to make an Empire spoof.
On Twitter, many expressed how entertained they were with the parody of the Empire series. Jimmy Fallon is certainly an expert at making people laugh.
