Eminem Is Not Amused By Kerry Washington

by Rachel Simon

Just call this the Autumn of Kerry Washington. Between her starring role on the second season of Scandal, her amazing red carpet look at the Emmys, and her just-revealed pregnancy, it seems like Washington is everywhere you go these days, and for good reason. The actress is talented, gorgeous, and — according to a new promo for her upcoming gig as host of this week's Saturday Night Live — also pretty funny. Is there anything she cant't do? Not likely.

Washington's new promo is very different than her first, which featured plenty of Scandal jokes and an overenthusiastic Taran Killam. This time, Washington, musical guest Eminem, and SNL player Nasim Pedrad stand side by side, and the entire skit revolves around the rap star's sense of humor — or lack thereof. It's a short promo, less than a minute long, but we do walk away with one new piece of information: Eminem loves cupcakes.

Compared to the hilarious first set of promos, the second one isn't great, but still, it gets us very excited to see what Washington has in store for viewers on Saturday night. Will she prove she's as adept as comedy as she is at drama? Will she confirm her pregnancy? Will she make Eminem laugh? Only one day more to find out.
