Jennifer Hudson, host of the forthcoming eponymous Warner Bros. Unscripted TV daytime talk show kicked things off at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Upfront with some help from Discovery and CNN stars.
Hudson followed David Zaslav – who positioned the merged company as essentially the fifth broadcast network in a speech where he admitted he was nervous.
The pop star, who got her break on American Idol and later became a coach on The Voice, told the audience of ad buyers, “I am the future”.
She was joined by a number of fellow company stars – although it was clearly balanced more on the Discovery side.
Shaun Robinson, host of 90 Day Fiancé, which has 12 spinoffs across TLC and Discovery+, called her show, “reality at its most real”.

“We can’t wait to see what’s ahead,” concluded Hudson, who passed on to Jon Steinlauf, who runs U.S. ad sales.
