On Monday, September 12th The Jennifer Hudson Show will debut on Fox TV, as well as on channels owned by Hearst Television, Sinclair Broadcast Group, TEGNA, Nexstar Media Group, and other networks.

The actress and singer promises to take the program beyond celebrity guests and musical performances; choosing instead to shine a light on everyday heroes. Although The Jennifer Hudson Show is not a replacement for Ellen (DeGeneres), it is worth noting that it will be filmed on Ellen’s old set by many of the same staffers.
