Gabourey Sidibe on Jimmy Kimmel

Empire is coming back on FOX on March 30th which is only two Wednesdays from now and when we saw Gabourey Sidibe was going to be on Jimmy Kimmel, of course we tuned in to find out what might be coming up for her character, Becky. But the actress didn’t get a chance to talk much about Empire.

Kimmel and Sidibe started out talking about how she was the only person who agreed to play Black Hitler, after Kimmel struck out with every black man in Hollywood except Denzel, whom he didn’t even try asking. Then they talked about the prank that Sidibe and Kimmel’s wife played on him on his wedding day. When they finally got around to Empire, apparently there was only enough time left to find out that the show is so popular, people are naming their babies Cookie, the nickname of Taraji Henson’s character, whose real name is Loretha.

Oh well, here’s an amusing clip with a conversation between Porsha (Ta’Rhonda Jones) and Becky, Sidibe’s character.
