\n\tFox Television Stations and Telepictures have renewed \u201cThe Jennifer Hudson<\/a> Show\u201d for a fifth season, keeping the EGOT winner\u2019s daytime talk series at the top of the ratings and social media charts. The renewal comes as the daytime landscape continues to shift \u2014 most recently with \u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show\u201d and \u201cSherri\u201d both announcing the end of their runs.<\/p>\n

\n\tHudson\u2019s daytime talk show premiered in September 2022 and has been breaking new ground ever since \u2014 from star-studded interviews and live musical performances to the pre-show ritual that has taken on a life of its own. The Spirit Tunnel has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, amassing more than 6 billion views across platforms and cementing itself as one of daytime television\u2019s most infectious traditions.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis show is about connecting with people in meaningful ways and sharing stories that lift and inspire,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cOur audience is the heartbeat of the show, and I can\u2019t wait to take Season 5 to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the 2025\u201326 season, \u201cThe Jennifer Hudson Show<\/a>\u201d posted year-over-year growth among Adults 25\u201354 and Women 25\u201354, with viewership up 10% among women in the key demographic. Social media engagement has exploded: total followers rose 90.7% to 17.5 million, impressions jumped 242.8% to 7.5 billion and engagement climbed 164.1% to 537 million. The show ranks #1 among daytime talk shows on TikTok and Threads and continues to expand its audience on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and X.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 4 featured an A-list lineup including Lizzo, Delroy Lindo, Kate Hudson, Hilary Duff, Sterling K. Brown, Charlie Puth, Mariah Carey, Selena Gomez, Cardi B and more. But it\u2019s the Spirit Tunnel that continues to captivate fans \u2014 and it\u2019s easy to see why. Audiences love watching the show\u2019s staff pack the hallway and belt out a familiar tune with lyrics rewritten especially for the guest, sending them onto the soundstage in the most personal, joyful way possible.<\/p>\n

\n\tLauren Blincoe, SVP of Current Programming for Telepictures, said, \u201cThe Spirit Tunnel is a perfect example of how \u201cThe Jennifer Hudson Show\u201d connects people. It\u2019s a segment that resonates emotionally and digitally, making viewers truly \u2018feel the love.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by JHUD Productions and Telepictures, and distributed in national syndication by Warner Bros. Discovery Content Sales, the show has earned four NAACP Image Awards, a GLAAD Excellence in Media Award, a Webby, a Shorty, a Clio Entertainment Award and 13 Daytime Emmy nominations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fox Television Stations and Telepictures have renewed \u201cThe Jennifer Hudson Show\u201d for a fifth season, keeping the EGOT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,28394,68124,411],"class_list":{"0":"post-300623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-jennifer-hudson","12":"tag-the-jennifer-hudson-show","13":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
