Jennifer Hudson has proven time and again that her versatility and talent know no bounds, and her incredible achievement at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards only reaffirmed that truth. This week, the 43-year-old EGOT winner was left in absolute disbelief after receiving not one, but two prestigious awards in recognition of her work as a talk show host.
In a joyous Instagram post, Jennifer shared her excitement with her fans, revealing that she had been honored with the title of Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information (Series or Special). But the accolades didn’t stop there.
Her talk show, The Jennifer Hudson Show, also bagged the award for Outstanding Talk Series. This double win marked a defining moment in Jennifer’s career, as the show continues to earn industry recognition for its inspiring content and the positive impact it has on its audience.
Jennifer’s heartfelt gratitude filled her message, as she took a moment to thank everyone who voted for her and her show. “Wow! Winning Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Host in a Talk or News/Information (Series or Special) at the NAACP Image Awards is truly an honor!” she wrote.
“We want to say thank you to everyone who voted for us — we’re so grateful to be alongside such incredible peers! Thank you all for your love and support!” Her words reflected the genuine emotion that accompanied these career-defining moments.
Since its debut in 2022, The Jennifer Hudson Show has been nothing short of a sensation. It has earned multiple accolades, including two other NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Talk Show Series in 2024 and Outstanding Talk Show Host in 2023.
Furthermore, Jennifer received the Excellence in Media Award at the 2024 GLA Media Awards, with the show also winning for Outstanding Variety or Talk Show Episode. These achievements speak to the heart of the show’s success: its ability to resonate deeply with audiences while offering meaningful conversations and moments of joy.
In addition to her personal triumphs, the show has been renewed for a fourth season. The announcement was made earlier this week, much to Jennifer’s delight. She shared her gratitude in a statement, expressing how “unbelievable” it felt to connect with such a wide array of inspiring individuals through her platform.
“It is an unbelievable privilege to spend your days being able to engage with inspiring people from all walks of life; to hear their stories and connect on shared experiences,” she said.
“This show is a testament to what happens when you do what you love, and when you do it alongside an unstoppable team who creates magic in new ways every single day. I’m so excited to take this adventure to new heights in season 4!”
With The Jennifer Hudson Show continuing to thrive, it’s no wonder that it’s received such praise and support from its loyal viewers. Warner Bros.
Television Group’s Lauren Blincoe, SVP of Current Programming, Telepictures, also praised Jennifer for her extraordinary ability to connect with her audience.
“Jennifer Hudson’s extraordinary talent and ability to connect with people have made The Jennifer Hudson Show a standout in daytime,” Blincoe remarked.
“This season, the show has seen incredible growth, creating moments that resonate beyond the screen — like the viral sensation Spirit Tunnel being a powerful example.”
While Jennifer’s triumphs on stage have been monumental, her week started on a more somber note. On Monday, she marked the 46th birthday of her late brother, Jason Hudson, who would have turned 46. She shared a heartfelt tribute to him on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of his beaming smile.
“Celebrating my big brother today on his birthday! He would have turned 46. Missing you and loving you always, Jason!” Jennifer’s heartfelt post reminded her followers that while her career continues to soar, family and love remain at the center of everything.
Jennifer Hudson’s double win at the NAACP Image Awards represents the culmination of hard work, dedication, and a passion for bringing joy to the world.
From the stage to the screen, Jennifer continues to leave her mark, proving that when you choose joy and authenticity, success follows. As the fourth season of The Jennifer Hudson Show approaches, we can’t wait to see what new heights she will reach next.
