Taraji shared hosting duties with her Empire costar Terrence Howard last year for Taraji and Terrence’s White Hot Holidays, but this time she has the gig to herself, and she’s sure to hold nothing back. The music/variety show special will include a slew of popular guests like Taraji’s Empire costars Jussie Smollett and Taye Diggs as well as musical guests like Missy Elliot, Pharrel Williams, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, TLC and more.
