Not only is Empire queen Taraji P. Henson taking on hosting duties for this week’s Saturday Night Live, she’s also giving SNL star Taran Killam valuable advice on how to deal with a rude castmate… Cookie style.

“You walk up to him and you put your hand on your hip… and you say, ‘Honey Boo Boo, I’m here to get what’s mine,’ and then you stare him up and down, like this, real hard,” Henson advises Killam in an SNL promo, after he asks for her guidance on confronting Kyle Mooney about sleeping in his dressing room.

Killam does as she advises, and, of course, it works; nobody messes with Cookie, or even Cookie-like warnings. (“Don’t ask questions you won’t like the answer to, little boy!” Henson tells Killam earlier — with a slap to the face — when he asked if she was anything like Cookie.)

Elsewhere in the promo, Killam pitches Henson an idea for an Empire spinoff about a family in the baseball business. Title: Umpire. And later, when she tells him she’s a live-TV virgin, he stresses to her how important it is to get things right the first time. Cut to five takes later, and he’s the one making all the boo-boos. The Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress is making her inaugural Saturday Night Live appearance with musical guest Mumford & Sons.

Saturday Night Live airs Saturday at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
