24 Oct Entertainment Tonight: Jennifer Hudson Reveals Her Dream Talk Show Guest (Exclusive – From The Grio Awards)

Jennifer Hudson has had a star-studded lineup of guests since her talk show debuted in September, and she’s looking for more! ET spoke with The Jennifer Hudson Show host at theGrio Awards’ first-ever ceremony and gala at the Beverly Hilton, where she was among many of the night’s honorees.

Created by Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, theGrio Awards celebrate excellence in film, music, comedy, television, sports, philanthropy, business, fashion, social justice, environmental justice, education and the cultural icons and innovators, whose many contributions positively impact America.

Hudson, who officially made her pivot to host on Sept. 12, shared that although the hosting experience has been a “challenge,” it’s one she relishes.

“Anytime you walk into a brand-new world, it’s a challenge. But I’m learning from the experience,” the 41-year-old explained. “I like to take one day at a time, one step at a time and just take it all in. But I’m having so much fun [on] The Jennifer Hudson Show, I really am. Every time the doors open I’m like, ‘Wait, I have a show!’ It’s breaking new ground.”
