The EGOT winner will go back to where it all began by reuniting with former "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell on her premiere episode for their first sit-down conversation since placing seventh on the singing competition series in 2004. The talk show premiere will also mark Hudson's 41st birthday, filled with celebratory moments and fun surprises.

Comedian and Emmy Award-nominated actress from the hit series "Insecure" Yvonne Orji will join Hudson in-studio.
