VIDEO: Jamie Foxx Impersonates Tyler Perry's Madea, Hostess Snack Cake Ding-Dong on SNL

There's a reason Jamie Foxx has an Oscar on his mantel. Not only can he act, the Ray star can sing, rap, and he's even pretty good at cross-dressing. Who knew?!

Fox also starred in the new TV show, Maine Justice, as the Jheri curl-sporting bailiff to Jason Sudeikis' Southern-sounding judge, who seems to think he's from Louisiana rather than Maine. The case of the day featured special testimony by Congressman Fintin Worthington Carey, aka Foxx's Horrible Bosses co-star Charlie Day:
