Season 4 of Jennifer Hudson’s daytime talk show is now streaming on Tubi.
The Fox-owned streaming platform made the announcement on Wednesday, Sept. 16, saying new episodes of The Jennifer Hudson Show will be available on the platform the day after they air on TV.
The announcement followed the show’s Season 4 premiere, where Hudson welcomed Cardi B for an interview ahead of the release of the rapper’s second studio album, titled “Am I the Drama?”

The rapper discussed her recent court case, which she won earlier this month after a female security guard sued her for $24 million dollars claiming assault. Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, laughed about her facial expressions on the witness stand in Alhambra, California that became viral memes.
“I was very, very upset that I’m in the middle of a album rollout and I have to go to court and then when I get to court, I realize that it’s going to be on national TV being televised and it’s like you’ve got to be kidding me,” she told Hudson.
The Jennifer Hudson Show has its own share of viral moments.
The show’s spirit tunnel — a hallway where guests are serenaded and hyped up by staff before they take the stage, frequently trends on social media when celebs join in on the fun.
The idea started in Season 1, as staff members performed spirit tunnels for Hudson. For Season 3, staffers added the tunnels for guests and they became a hit online.
In May, TV Insider reported the tunnel videos had racked up 2 billion views online. The outlet ranked actors Jay Ellis, Keke Palmer and Aaron Pierre as the most popular tunnel dancers, although it said Pierre “broke the internet” with his racy moves.
Hudson got her big break in showbiz after making it to the finals on the third season of American Idol. She is the youngest woman to become an EGOT after winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.
Since its premiere on Sept. 12, 2022, The Jennifer Hudson Show has won four NAACP Image Awards and a GLAAD Media Award. As previously reported, the show was renewed for a fourth season even before the third season ended.
Produced by Warner Bros., JHUD Productions, and Unscripted Television in association with Telepictures, the series took over the daytime talk landscape after The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended.
Tubi, which is headquartered in San Francisco and founded in 2014, is part of Fox Corporation’s Tubi Media Group. The ad-supported streaming service is free.
In addition to Season 4 of The Jennifer Hudson Show, parts of season 3 are also available on Tubi.
