Just days before the announcement, Hudson and her team had been encouraging fans to support them, posting “Help us win our first Webby!

This Webby Award adds to Jennifer Hudson’s extraordinary career achievements. The singer-actress-host is one of the select few entertainers to achieve EGOT status – having won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. Her journey to entertainment stardom began with her appearance on “American Idol” in 2004, where despite placing seventh, she launched a career that would see her win an Academy Award for her role in “Dreamgirls” (2006).
Hudson’s talk show debuted in September 2022 and has since become a popular daytime television fixture, featuring celebrity interviews, musical performances, and human interest stories. The show has been particularly noted for Hudson’s warm hosting style and genuine interactions with guests.
With this Webby win providing momentum, Hudson’s announcement that Season 4 is coming indicates the show has been renewed for another year. This renewal underscores the program’s success and Hudson’s increasing presence in the daytime talk show landscape.
