To celebrate the return of FOX's hit drama series Empire, Jimmy Fallon created his own Empire parody for The Tonight Show audience. This hilarious remake features a few recognizable stars as well as comedic genius.
Titled 'Jimpire,' this Empire parody stars Jimmy Fallon as "Juicy Jim," the head of the Tonight Show Empire. In this 10-minute skit, Jim must figure out who will take over his legacy as he has suffered a not-so-serious finger injury. Along the way, Jim requests help from Empire stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrance Howard as well as 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Forced to choose between The Tonight Show band leader Questlove, MC of The Roots Tariq and his moody show producer Andre, this Empire parody is full of laughs and drama.
