Overview
Jennifer Hudson tells Randy Jackson that she wouldn’t be here today without him as he appears on the show 18 years after choosing JHud as his wild card on “American Idol.” The pair discuss never giving up and not blocking blessings! Jennifer welcomes 5-year-old Lena Avery Castro and her mom, Madeline Rivera, from Brooklyn, NY, who went viral on TikTok because of her passion for learning. She loves flags, chemical elements and reading the dictionary.
