The 41-year-old singer and host was candid about her initial expectations, or lack thereof, for any Daytime Emmy Award nominations.
“It’s a whole new ground as well to be nominated on my first season,” she remarked. “It inspires me, and it helps me to know that I’m on the right track for the next season. And hopefully that will lead me to 25 years.”
She expressed this hope with a hint of optimism and crossed fingers.
Looking ahead, Jennifer shared her vision for the future of The Jennifer Hudson Show, She aims to continue shining a spotlight on real stories and everyday heroes. “
Some of my favorite guests are everyday heroes. You know, there are so many more heroes out there than celebrities. And we get to learn that at The Jennifer Hudson Show and get to hear and be inspired by stories,” she noted.

She discussed her participation in Mastercard’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign, which encourages cardholders to contribute to cancer research through their dining and grocery transactions.
