Shady Records head Eminem could find himself appearing in an upcoming episode of the hit Fox television series “Empire.”

According to new reports, “Empire” producer Brian Glazer hinted at the possibility Tuesday (April 7) on “Good Morning America.”

“Eminem, I know, loves our show. And I produced 8 Mile. I’m going to beg him to get on our show. He and Oprah Winfrey. Somehow I’m going to get one or both them on our show.” (“Good Morning America”)

Based on recent reports, the show’s finale scored a 6.5 rating among adults 18-49 and brought in 16.7 million viewers.

First of all, that’s a record for the TV ratings rule breaking series and up 71% and 69% respectively from the results of the show’s debut back on January 7. Secondly, compared to the series’ March 11 1-hour show that’s a 12% rise in both categories. It’s a 2% bop up from earlier demo numbers this morning and a 1% rise viewershipwise. While still behind the March 15 airing of AMC’s The Walking Dead, Empire has now solidly taken the lead among shows on the Big 4 among adults 18-49 this season. (Deadline)

Last month, “Empire” star Jussie Smollett talked to SOHH about what the show’s explosive first season.

“I feel like Season 1 was the set up and then Season 2 will be, okay, let’s go back and let’s clean up all of the Lyons’ stuff, if you will. I’m very happy. I’m very excited where Jamal, where his journey has taken him, from beginning to now, and where it’s going to end up going. I’m very excited.” (SOHH)

“Empire” star Bryshere “Yazz” Gray talked to SOHH recently about working with music veteran Snoop Dogg on the finale episode.

“It was great to work with Snoop [Dogg]. It was good to vibe out with the legend Snoop Dogg and to get some jewels I can take into life and use and to apply them to my everyday life.” (SOHH)
