The Spirit Tunnel is unapologetic celebrity worship and extremely fun
Briefly

The Jennifer Hudson Show is leveraging a new gimmick called 'The Spirit Tunnel,' where staff serenade guests with personalized a cappella songs as they enter or leave the interview stage. This practice, reminiscent of the Soul Train line, serves as an entertaining and immediate insight into a guest's personality and popularity. Each performance can range from a simple chant to an elaborate song, aiming to evoke genuine joy, often going viral on social media. The Spirit Tunnel seems to be more than a gimmick; it cultivates a joyful atmosphere that enhances the show's lively vibe.
Two different strains of performance converge: That of the dedicated staff, who, on top of all their other duties in producing a daily show, have to dream up short, energy-fueled bits of musical hype.
As guests make their way to and/or from the interview couch, staff members flank either side of the hallway and serenade them a cappella with a song crafted specifically for them.
