Watch Denzel Washington impersonate Jay Z on Queen Latifah's talk show.

As an actor, Denzel Washington's more known for his dramatic roles than comedic ones, but it turns out the dude is great at impressions as well. While on Queen Latifah's talk show to promote his new film The Equalizer, Denzel regaled the audience with a story about meeting Jay Z.

The story, which begins around the 1:20 mark, involves Denzel visiting a studio where Lenny Kravitz and Jay Z were both working. He does the "Jigga laugh" to a T, and then tells how Hova played him the Black Album's "Change Clothes," which is clearly a favorite of Latifah's.

As Jay's American Gangster album was somewhat inspired by the film of the same name that Washington starred in, it's nice to see that their admiraation of each other is a two-way street.
