Jennifer Hudson hopes fans will feel on ‘top of the world’ with new talk show

Jennifer Hudson has some high hopes for viewers of her upcoming daytime talk show.

The Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award-winning superstar is planning to create some magic with her eponymous chatfest, which kicks off in nationally syndication on Sept. 12 — which also happens to be her birthday.

“I’m going to show you how it all happens… follow the magic,” the “Dreamgirls” star said in a new promo for the hourlong series depicting the first day of production.

Hudson added: “I hope my fans experience a good time. I hope they discover their superpower, and I hope they feel on top of the world by the time they leave ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show.’”

“Let’s go live life, baby!” she concluded in her Midwestern accent, smiling into the camera.

The Los Angeles-based series plans to feature celebrity interviews, topical stories, community heroes, viral sensations and music.

J. Hud — as she is affectionately known — “will use her powerful voice in a new way, bringing fun, uplifting, and empowering conversations to the forefront, shining a light on extraordinary stories, talents and passions,” the production notes say.

Though the 40-year-old Chicago native, who recently won a Tony Award for producing the Broadway smash musical “A Strange Loop” is a novice to the daytime landscape, she has the same heavyweight forces behind “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” backing her.

Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Telepictures produced the longtime ratings juggernaut that recently ended after 19 seasons.

“I knew that Jennifer was a force to be reckoned with from the moment I met her nearly 20 years ago,” Warner Bros. Unscripted Television president chief Mike Darnell said when the show was announced last spring. “From her Grammy-winning career in music, to her Oscar-winning acting career, Jennifer’s amazing talent, big heart and authenticity shine through in everything she does.”
