Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson has landed her own talk show. The Hollywood Reporter revealed the exciting news on March 2.
The Jennifer Hudson Show will make its debut this fall and replace Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, ending after 19 seasons. Warner Bros. will produce the syndicated talk show with Hearst and Fox Television Stations.
“People from around the world have been a part of my journey from the beginning — twenty years ago — and I’m so ready to join their journey as we sit down and talk about the things that inspire and move us all,” said Hudson. “I have always loved people and I cannot wait to connect on a deeper level and let audiences see the different sides of who I am, the human being, in return. And I couldn’t be more thrilled to do it alongside this incredible team. We’re about to have a lot of fun and shake things up a little bit!”
