The Spirit Tunnel is The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em>\u2018s signature segment. As guests make their way to the stage for their interview, they\u2019re greeted with a hallway full of crew members cheering them on with a custom song. Clips from the tunnel typically go viral more than any actual footage from the conversation that follows on the show. The show\u2019s latest guest, Simon Cowell, received the same treatment.<\/p>\n In his clip, Cowell walks through the hall while clapping along to the crew\u2019s personalized remix of \u201cThe Greatest Show,\u201d updated to include mentions of America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>. The viral video has led to social media users speculating about the competition judge\u2019s health and well-being, noting that his movements seemed awkward. It didn\u2019t register this way to Cowell himself, who would have done it again just for fun.<\/p>\n \u201cI absolutely loved it,\u201d Cowell told Hudson when he finally made it to the couch. \u201cIt\u2019s like the best way of coming on a show, seriously, I\u2019ve ever done in my life. Do you mind if I steal it for AGT<\/em>? It\u2019s seriously brilliant. I wanted to do it twice. I might do it on the way back.\u201d Hudson joked that he should break out a few dance moves for the second time around, but he assured her, \u201cYou don\u2019t want to see that.\u201d<\/p>\n Cowell appeared as the guest on the very first episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show<\/em>, which aired just over three years ago before the show introduced the Spirit Tunnel. \u201cI was so thrilled and genuinely honored that you would think of me,\u201d Cowell said. \u201cAnd all these years now, you\u2019re still killing it.\u201d<\/p>\n Hudson\u2019s most viral Spirit Tunnel moments have included Brenda Song, Gwen Stefani, Aaron Pierce, Shemar Moore, Keke Palmer, Chris Perfetti, Damon Wayans Sr. and Damon Wayans Jr., SZA, and more.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
