Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard Spoofing Kim and Kanye Is the Gift That Keeps Giving

It's official: Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard do a better Kim Kardashian and Kanye West than actual Kimye.

The Empire stars channeled Kim and Kanye during their White Hot Holidays special on Fox Wednesday night, and it was too perfect for words.

Dressed in a black hoodie Terrence/Kanye welcomed the TMZ camera crew--who he invited--to his house for a Christmas party. In true 'Ye fashion, he claimed it was the best Christmas since the first-ever celebration with IRL Jesus. LOL, he's probaby right.

But even better than Terrence/Kanye was Taraji/Kim. Clad in a skin-tight dress and long weave, she couldn't stop taking selfies, bragged about her Instagram followers and--best of all--didn't recognize North West when someone brought the baby to her. But when Kim finally recognized North, she did what any good mother would do: take a selfie...duh!

A few other things that happened in this amazing sketch:

Kanye tries to duet with a lamp he thinks is Sia and proceeds to call said lamp a genius.

Taraji's on-point Valley girl accent.

Kanye praises a man wearing a gray suit only to insult him for the same suit three minutes later.

"Happy Yuletide, from Kanye and Kim," Terrence/Kanye said to close out the skit. And it certainly is one after watching this glorious performance.
