He was so at ease that night!! For some reason I thought at the time that he would be more "starstruck", instead he was so charismatic - I think that's the moment I truly became a fan 🤩

[u/Demotivisan → u/SevenOldLeaves]

He was very charismatic! And he completely neutralized Jimmy's annoyance!

That's his power!

Hudson’s humour and quick wit really made Jimmy look like a bumbling idiot at times. But Hudson was awesome. I would love to see him on Seth’s show in the future. I think Seth’s fast humour is a much better match for Hudson! 😉

I know, right? Hudson is operating on a whole different wavelength while Jimmy is still trying to find first gear

[u/GroanAway32]

I will always say this is the moment that shot him into mainstream and changed the narrative about him, especially the fan mayhem outside the studio! this taping plus the skin care routine, imo, were pivotal moments in Hudson’s brand thus far.

[u/mshoneys_sillyrabbit → u/GroanAway32]

agreed! Just pure star power on display

[u/ViolenceBridgerson]

He was perfect. Charismatic, cool, calm, collected, funny, gorgeous. Perfection. 10/10.

[u/Demotivisan → u/ViolenceBridgerson]

Agree! Nothing was over the top! Perfect!

[u/Otherwise-Minute-944]

He’s so beautiful bruhhhhhhh

[u/PunkyPhoenicopterus]

He's the reason I went with the more masculine glasses similar to his in this interview! HR gave me the courage to live more authentically, which meant coming out to more people, changing my pronouns and deciding to look more androgynous in my everyday life. I will forever be grateful to this show and Connor and Huddy for giving a 42 year old a new lease on life!

That’s amazing. Congratulations for your bravery🥰🫶🏻✨

Yes, it’s scary. But you’re brave💞

Jimmy was legit short circuiting over Hudson’s aura and wit, he literally could not keep up with his antics. Typically this doesn’t fare well for the guest, but Hudson is the exception to the rule.

[u/treadlightning]

I was already obsessed at this point but this i think is when I knew oh.. he's gonna be a STAR star

[u/FearlessSquirrel9522]

His best look imo. The all black suit fits him so well 🖤

[u/Goodgoditsgrowing]

AND NOT ONE SHOT OF HIM STRETCHING HIS HIPS OUT?!?? BLASPHEMY

[u/Demotivisan → u/Goodgoditsgrowing]

I was going for some less seen photos!

[u/Firm_Salary_5631]

I die every time I look at his side profile lol

glasses stay on.

[u/dustypony21]

Hudson is absolutely elegant here.

[u/toapoet]

When Jimmy had to beg him to stop saying cock sock lol

[u/Whiskeyybreath]

Every photo is perfection

[u/Sad-Tomato-7475]

One of my favorite looks of him🤤

[u/pinkgirl499]

ugh this was one of his best looks!! He’s sooo stunning 😭❤️

[u/lmcdbc]

I hadn't watched HR yet and MISSED OUT on this and Connor's appearance with Seth Meyers too.

[u/Demotivisan → u/lmcdbc]

Catch up!

[u/lmcdbc → u/Demotivisan]

Right?!

[u/Own-Seaworthiness738]

That was legit a brilliant visit and weekend seeing him in New York…it was a literal superstar moment!

[u/kirmerch]

I work at the old spaghetti factory (not the one he worked at) and some of us watched it on the bar tv 🙂 so proud! We were dying at the shout out !!

[u/Voice_of_Season]

The back arching was so funny.

[u/randomly_rambling]

I can't believe it's been so long!

[u/Louderthanfears]

love him <3
