“I love Jennifer Hudson, but as a middle-aged white woman, I felt trapped,” Nikki says in the pre-recorded sketch. “I tried practicing, but everything I came up with looked career-ending. Pointing, shoulder shrug, drunk aunt at a wedding. I even tried to put my a– into it, but I don’t have one.”
The medication in the infomercial? “Hudsacillin.”
The next day, Jennifer shared the video on her Instagram account and even invited Nikki to come to the JHud Show and experience the spirit tunnel, which often goes viral on social media, for herself!
“Omg!!!!! The way I hollered !!! Get your Hudsacillin today y’all!!! #SNL @jenniferhudsonshow,” Jennifer wrote. “(@nikkiglaser, come on and get your Spirit Tunnel treatment, we are ready for you at The Happy Place!)”
The same night as Nikki‘s episode of Saturday Night Live, Jennifer was on the West Coast, where she hit the stage during the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
On Saturday night (November 8), Jennifer joined Stevie Wonder, Maxwell, Flea, Beck, Leon Thomas, and Questlove as they opened the show with a tribute performance for Sly & the Family Stone.
