Who needs Empire when you could have Jimpire? With the hit Fox show about to start its second season, The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and his team did a perfect parody that even attracted the show’s major stars.

In the 10-minute sketch, ‘Juicy’ Jimmy - in a hilarious impression of Terrence Howard - explains that he needs to find a successor for his joke empire because he never knows when he’s going to break another finger or stub his toe. He almost forgets about his sidekick, Steve Higgins (playing Taraji P. Henson’s Cookie), who comes in just in time to annoy Jimmy.

Jimmy picks Questlove and Tariq of the Roots to test their joking ability to see if they can replace him on The Tonight Show. Higgins keeps popping up to take over and Jimmy’s not too happy. Questlove also has a mysterious secret...

Empire season two kicks off on Fox tonight.
