Kerry Washington didn't wax poetic about her pregnancy when she stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Oct. 31. In fact, the Scandal star didn't even mention that she's expecting baby with husband Nnamdi Asomugha during her six-minute interview with host Jimmy Fallon.

It's not surprising, given that Washington has been notoriously tight-lipped about her personal life.

Still, there was no denying that she's sporting a small baby bump. The actress dressed her new curves in an embroidered black and white ensemble, which she paired with black cat ears for Halloween.

It was a small step for Washington, given that she doesn't care much for the holiday. "I dress up as other people for a living all year long, so on Halloween, I like to be myself," she explained. "And nobody gives me candy for dressing up all year long. That's not fair."

Washington was on hand to promote her Nov. 2 Saturday Night Live hosting gig, where Eminem will serve as the night's musical guest. "It's a total dream come true, especially coming from New York. It's a New York institution," she told Fallon. "I'm really excited."

"Here's the coolest thing about it: There is this group of people, the crew, behind the scenes that are moving furniture and sets around at a speed you can't even imagine," she continued. "It is like the performance behind the performance. It's like a well-choreographed dance of set pieces moving fast. If one of them hits you, you're down for the count!"
