We think we found someone more competitive than Jimmy Fallon. The tonight show host met his match in Taraji P. Henson.
The Empire star brought her A-game to a “Fast Family Feud” showdown, yesterday, giving Fallon the business in most of the categories (well kinda).
VIDEO
Before stealing Fallon’s game show title, Taraji talked about being nominated for an Emmy for her character Cookie and being caught falling asleep on set.

Catch Empire season 2 when it premieres on September 23 on FOX.
