Jennifer Hudson guaranteed 23 more years in daytime tv in her approval speech for the Television Chairman’s Award from the National Association of Broadcasters.
She revealed her hopes that “Television and daytime tv continue to dominate years and years from now, for the next generations.” Hudson nodded to the reality that, while her program’s simply 2 years in, she’s all set to keep it choosing a quarter-century.
“So much more to come ’cause, y’ all, we still got 23 more years to go. I ain’t goin’ no place,” she dealt with the audience before vocalizing her renowned “Dreamgirls” line, “You’re gon na like me,” from the tune “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”
The event happened Tuesday early morning throughout the NAB trade convention’s “We Are Broadcasters” session.
The NAB television Chairman’s Award commemorates groundbreaking work from people in a range of tv art disciplines. Provided in 2009 to four-time Emmy-winning star Kelsey Grammer, other winners have actually consisted of star Sterling K. Brown (“This Is United States,” “Black Panther,” “American Fiction”), Kristen Bell (“The Good Place,” “Veronica Mars”), Terry Crews (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “The Expendables”) and Emmy-winning host Mario Lopez.
“Jennifer Hudson remains in a league of her own,” Warner Bros. Tv Group chairman/CEO Channing Dungey stated. “She is a motivating force, a professional in her craft, and continues to show her skill has no bounds and there is no limitation to what she can attain. We are honored to be her imaginative home and praise her on this distinguished award.”
“Jennifer Hudson’s prominent profession covers several aspects of the show business, from tv to music to the cinema and beyond, and makes her well deserving of this award,” NAB Television Board Chair Pat LaPlatney stated. “I am honored to provide her with the NAB television Chairman’s Award throughout the NAB Show in acknowledgment of her exceptional work.”
Hudson ended up being the youngest female EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) winner in 2022 when she won a Tony for producing the very best Musical-winning program, “A Strange Loop.”
