There’s a latest talk show on the town — there’s actually three of them to be exact — but only ESSENCE readers have the possibility to peek behind the scenes of considered one of them.

Newly minted EGOT Jennifer Hudson exclusively took us into her greenroom to examine out the set, wardrobe, and glam team that makes the magic behind The Jennifer Hudson Show occur. The day by day daytime talk show premiered on September 12, J-Hud’s birthday, and the host tells us she’s been having a ball to this point.

“It’s like life. It’s never the identical and we reply to the moment and we live that moment,” Hudson tell us. “It’s different guests, it’s different personalities, it’s different moments. It’s exciting times. It’s like a roller coaster. It’s a little bit of every little thing, but it surely’s stuffed with surprises. Some days I don’t even know what to anticipate, but I look ahead to each and every single day.”

To this point, the actress and singer has had a powerful roster of guests, starting with Simon Cowell on her debut show, right as much as a phenomenal Dreamgirls moment with recent Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph.

“What I really like most concerning the talk show life is having the ability to sit on a couch and truly discuss with anyone,” Hudson says. “I really like hearing different stories. I really like meeting people. And most of all, my favorite thing is bringing everyone together in positivity on one accord.”
