On Empire, while Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) is building her new empire without ex-husband Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), she needs all the help she can get to promote her new artists. So she meets with a concert promoter named Laz Delgado. And of course, he’s fine. During their interview in Cookie’s office, Delgado says: “I’ve been promoting concerts for a lot of years, Cookie. I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty.” If you think Cookie interprets that as a sexual innuendo, you know your Cookie!
