If you’re an American Idol success story, it follows that you will be a talk show success story, if Kelly Clarkson is anything to go by. But if you’re an American Idol not-quite success story, you can still go on to EGOT and get your own talk show, if Jennifer Hudson is anything to go by. Not only is J-Hud returning to television after placing seventh in the third season of the singing competition, she’s bringing on Simon Cowell as her first guest, according to Entertainment Weekly.
