“The Jennifer Hudson Show” received the Variety Changemaker Award, presented by Waymo, at Variety’s L.A. Power of Women event on Wednesday in Beverly Hills. The award was presented by Waymo’s chief marketing officer Suzanne Philion, honoring the show’s cultural impact.
\n\nIn her introduction, Philion shared that the EGOT winner’s talk show is an example of what is possible when people “lead with empathy, authenticity and heart.”
\n\n“In a world that can often feel chaotic and overwhelming, ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’ offers that exact same sense of sanctuary,” she said. “Every day, Jennifer and her extraordinary team turn daytime television into a space where people from all walks of life feel seen, feel safe and feel genuinely celebrated.”
\n\nHudson accepted the award alongside the team behind her show, saying that the award is “such an amazing representation of 150 producers that are standing right here. I always tell them, ‘I could not live this life without you.’”
\n\nThe singer and actress invited Michelle Salemi, the show’s co-executive producer, to the microphone to accept the award as Hudson joined the team behind her.
\n\n“At ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show,’ we strive every day to make content that’s creative, joyful and meaningful,” Salemi said.
