Jennifer Hudson on Hosting Her Own Talk Show & She Sings Texts from Kimmel Staffers’ Parents

[@toriwisdom8385]

I literally am sitting here by myself watching this video, and just realized I had the biggest smile on my face throughout the whole thing. Great job Jennifer Hudson, you're a queen 👑

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

Same!!!

[@rosevalerio5863]

Same here... and I really needed that today. What a treat! Jennifer really understood the assignment 😄

[@landonfolken03]

Yeah I didnt really know anything about her and she seems like an absolutely fun person to hang out with. Amazing voice as well.

[@D_A_Marv]

Trust me!

[@withershin]

Same. I didn't even realize it until I read your comment.

Such a lady. As polished as she is, she is down to earth….a sister from up the street. A treasure. National treasure!

Proof that Jennifer can sing ANYTHING and I would listen, enthralled every time.

[@comeagyn]

She can sing anything except her own major hit. I Hate she doesn't have the catalog of music to match her talent. Awards are nice, but she don't have an hour and a half worth of hits to tour with. Im not talking down on her, I hate that other than and I am telling you she doesn't have a song that the general public readily associate with her. And technically that's not her song. I wish somebody: David Foster Babyface Missy Diane Warren, Someone would write a hit for her. Aretha Franklin Whitney Houston Barbra Streisand Mariah Celine all have at least 2 or 3 major songs the general public can readily associated with them. And we hear the songs in the culture: All I want for Christmas, Respect, Saving All My Love, My heart will go on etc their songs are as huge and relevant to the culture as they are. Jhud sing the mess out of everybody else song but is not well known for her own hits and influential catalog of music. Thank God she's multi-talented and doesn't have to rest on music popularity. I'm happy she found a way to shine.

Kelly Clarkson still exists.

[@cluv513]

​​@@runrafarunthebestintheworld I love Kelly but J Hud's legacy will be forever she has the 4 biggest honors an artist can receive.

[@kandakeedits1546]

@@cluv513 I agree. Love Kelly, plus Carrie has done well also, but they are both mainly successful in the music lane. JHud is the most successful all-around talent ever from that show. She's in the most exclusive and most prestigious group/club in the entertainment/arts industry as an EGOT winner. She's terribly underrated, but you can't top that. She's had an amazing career thus far.

[@montraedavis2201]

Real authentic talent!! Proof that real talent prevails without selling your soul and everything else!! She's been thru it and still comes out at the top remaining humble 💜

[@margholtz]

Jhud is so natural as a host. Her responses is innocent and non judgemental, she is so amazing. She is genuinely interested in the people she interviews. Her voice is so soothing. It is ASMR to me.

[@chocolateangel8743]

Well, she's gotten better over time -- now that she can read the teleprompter. 🤣

[@rick90604whittier]

Her humility is going to take her far. She's awesome!

Everyone can hear and see that J HUD is a singing, acting and talk show Queen. Then I burst out laughing so much cuz she is also, a Comedy Queen!! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@fegrace_1]

Some people can sing, but Jennifer Hudson can SANG!

[@shadralewis5433]

What an amazing talent she is! And such a good sport to play along with Kimmel’s goofy game! I saw her performance of the Sister Act medley on her show. She always wows!

[@annette1674]

I watched that one. How blessed you were to be there! ❤

[@lindsaydt66]

I don't care who else comes on - this is JImmy's BEST show of the year. Jennifer Hudson is just simply marvelous, brilliant, and hilarious!!!!!! She also needs a comedy show 🤣😂😍 That last one was a HOOT!!!!

[@aderoprescott4461]

I absolutely love how she never changed with celebrity. She just grew up and stayed humble and bubbly.

[@Loleloll158]

Ha! Only if u knew

[@cristinaj2504]

I could watch this all day. JHud is one of the greatest talents we have today!!!

[@azpeach5680]

Jennifer Hudson is amazing. I literally got goosebumps from her singing text messages about laundry! Ha ha ha!

[@teresawalker5676]

She is the complete package. Enjoyable entertainer, wonderful stage presence, very pure.

[@arthurcoomes2942]

JHudd always makes me smile, bewildered by her talent, and thankful she is so great and real that I get to enjoy her talent and effortless ability to real and a real ally. Cannot thank you her enough! You have surpassed EGOT for me.

[@butterscotch7788]

Love this...love her talent... that she doesn't code switch and that she didn't let fame change her. She is herself. What an inspiration. Love Jimmy's interviewing talent humbleness and quick wit. They picked the right person to host the Oscars especially after last year.

[@carleenmulloy481]

Love Jennifer Hudson 😍👏

[@fornitegood122jr6]

Exactly I'm so honored to meet you

[@humbledriver2536]

Jennifer Hudson is amazing 👏 "So when lunch happens, guess what I do?" Jimmy says, "dinner." 🤣😅🤣😅 One wittiest natural comedian with remarkable timing since the late great Robin Williams.

I thought that was quick and expert as well, nice one Kimmel.

It's almost unfair that this woman has so much singing and acting talent and then she is also so naturally entertaining! She could be a great talk show host even if she didn't have any of her other talents. She's so naturally funny and has great comedic timing. And, of course, she's beautiful, kind, graceful and humble. Seriously! Is she even human?
