Henson stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to play a round of ‘The Acting Game.’ Fallon and Henson went head to head, answering a telephone and acting out scenario in the most “sincerely dramatic way possible.” In one of the scenarios, Taraji’s improv skills are put to the test when she’s challenged with playing her Empire character ‘Cookie’ as she finds out from NASA that she will be stranded out in space for six more months.
