Saturday Night Live got hip to the Empire phenomenon early, building an entire sketch around the Fox smash hit back in March and then asking breakout star Taraji P. Henson to host her own show mere weeks later. That's some turnaround time. Still, despite the series' apparent interest in capitalizing on a genuine media dynamo, the Henson-hosted show didn't pack the punch of even the most flaccid of Empire offerings. Henson's energy remained high throughout ? here is a host that, when they say how excited they are to be there, you wholeheartedly believe them ? but that wasn't enough to rescue an otherwise floundering entry into the fortieth season.??
